Our first GV!!

Our first GV was at Bethel 7's. I was blown away at how wonderful the evening was and how many people were there! The sidelines were packed! :)

The ceremony the Daughters performed as, in short, AWESOME! They shared with everyone several of the different lessons that can be learned from VeggieTales. They included some of our favorites including Where's God When I'm Scared? (one of my favorites!) and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (Dad Bill "watched" the Jonah Movie that day). They even serenaded us with the VeggieTales theme song!

Dad Bill presented HQ Morgan with a beautiful certificate from us. I presented Morgan with a gift and if you want t know what it is, you'll have to come to the next GV to see it! It's AMAZING! We were surprised when Morgan presented us with gifts: a book of Bible stories starring those loveable veggies from VeggieTales . . . .a sheep for me . . .and for Dad Bill . . . Hair Gel (classic!)

The Closing Cross was gorgeous - and you haven't seen anything until you've the cross from the East.

Now that all that was out of the way . . . .it was time to dress us up! I was a sheep to Dad Bill's Bo Peep (ha ha ha ha ha!) They even gave him a shepherd's staff.

Kelsey, Sammy and Sarah gave out travel awards . . .Bethel 42 took 1st place for Distance and Jobie Miles, while Bethel 3 took first place for Most Daughters. Thank you to Bethels 1, 52 and 53 for traveling to the GV. Because all of you were there it made the evening even more fun!

And, of course, what GV would be complete without food?! Oooooh . . .the table decorations (made my BG Ashley's mom) were Veggies with eyes! I'm pretty sure Mom Christi got a picture of them . . .they were too cool!!

Thank you, again, to EVERYONE for coming to the GV! It was fantastic to see so many people there. We love to see the sidelines filled -- so, Daughters -- plan to do lots of more traveling!! You don't want to miss all the fun we're gonna have!!! :)

Peace out! <3
