Surprises for Valerie...


"A picture is worth a thousand words..."

So I'll spare the words and continue to share the pictures...although I believe a brief dictation would be helpful! ;-) Valerie went home to be with her family for her REAL birthday, which took place, March 15th. (Just so everyone knows!) But when she returned, we planned the ultimate "Girl's Party" to celebrate. However, knowing Val, she was suspicious. (Most girls are, you know!) So to throw her off, we had people over for pot-luck Sabbath, and sang her Happy birthday then. Later I kinda felt bad, because it wasn't a real party...and I could tell she was kinda disappointed. But we didn't let her disappointment last too long. For that evening, at sundown, all the girls congregated at our place for worship, food, and fellowship. And it really was the ultimate party...For not only did we have an awesome Bible study, but we could all eat ice-cream right off the platter community style (it was Tofutti Soy dream!!!), and we could talk and laugh and cry and share...without worry of what anyone thought....for we were all laughing and crying and talking and sharing together!!! It may have been in honor of Val's birthday, but it was one of the most FUN EVENINGS I've had in a long time!! So, through the pictures, I hope you enjoy it too!!!!
