Kaitlyn's YW Medallion

On November 19, Kaitlyn received her young women's personal progress medallion. She worked hard to be able to get it this year. I was scheduled to teach a lesson in my class that night, so I had to email my teacher to see if I could postpone it until the next class. She is a good teacher and is really nice about things like this. Some of my teachers don't seem to think that the 3/4 of us are that are married with families have lives outside of school, but fortunately, this one is flexible and accommodating. Anyway, I was able to go. Her adviser told her that she was going to video tape it if I couldn't be there.



















Here is Kaitlyn getting her medallion with me putting it on her.













The leaders also had the mothers choose a flower that represented their daughter and they bought the flower . The mothers then went up and presented them to their daughter and explained why they choose it.I choose a lily for Kaitlyn because it's buds are tight and closed, but as they open they are beautiful. Kaitlyn is shy if you don't know her. When you do know her she is very open and is a beautiful girl. She talks to me about everything and tells me things that her friends can't believe.

I choose a Gerber daisy for Danielle. It was supposed to be hot pink, but they couldn't find a hot pink one. I choose a Gerber daisy because of all of the layers it has. Danielle is very complicated and has many layers to her. You look at her and she looks like a complete girly girl. She is always dressed up. On the other side she is the biggest tomboy. She loves sports, wrestling with her brother, and doesn't care if she gets dirty...as long as her hair doesn't get messed up : )

It was a great evening. The leaders did a great job. I know how much work and effort you guys put into it so thanks. Thanks especially to you leaders for being there for my daughters. I really appreciate it. Oh and there were really yummy treats too.
