Chili Supper and Gong Show

I am a little late in blogging, but this was important to me none the less and I will post now. As you know, better late than never =)

Anyways, last Saturday, Lauren and I surprised my father by driving to the chili supper that our church puts on each year. It was so good to see my family and the lovely faces of my church family!

I cannot say in words how important my family is to me. They have always been there for me and always will be. I am so blessed to have two parents who love me and care for me so much. I am so blessed to have sisters that I can truly say are my best friends. It always brings a smile to my face when I see them and can point them out as not only my sisters, but my best friends.

My church family is equally as important to me. They have seen me grow up, both in life and spiritually. They have supported me with my college goals, and have supported me on mission trips, after surgeries, and through countless trials I have encountered over the years. I love that I know every face when I go home to church on Sundays, and love even more that they truly care about me. How great is it to have a church family so dedicated to caring for the youth in their church??

Anyways, here are a few pictures from my time with my family and Lauren. Thank you all for making this one of the greatest nights I have had in a while! I love you all!
