I cannot believe this week is over already. Wow. We had another fantastic day! We had a class called Boys 101 where the girls actually learned how boys think and how we're different. Many of them loved it. We also learned about poise, posture, and etiquette. We also had Hank Smith speak to us. He is a comedic/youth speaker. He had us rolling on the floor laughing. One of our girls had to leave Tuesday morning for health reasons, but was able to return to us yesterday evening. She missed Prom so all of these gorgeous sweet girls decided to do her hair/makeup. Everyone wore their Prom dresses so she could have her beautiful moment to shine and not feel strange/alone. What sweet girls! They really care about each other. I was so impressed. We ate chicken cordon bleu for dinner and learned about the proper way to set tables and eat like real ladies. We had a final slideshow during our closing ceremony and had a special activity where we honored a young BBY sister who had passed away last year. The BBJ Family Foundation began a scholarship in her name. We sang, went outside, then released about 250 purple balloons in her memory. It was a very spiritual experience for all of us. We came back to our rooms and partied to some Beyond 5 as we reminisced about the wonderful week. I am going to miss these girls. I love them so much. What an amazing experience for us to share.
