D.I.V.A.S. Banquet

The banquet was wonderful this year. I had my reservations going into it because I really didn't have a lot of time to focus solely on it prior to it taking place. I can honestly say the girls rose the challenge and did a great job bringing everything together. The guest speaker was wonderful. Her message for the young ladies was very inspirational and right on time. I took a lot away from it as well.

This year I wasn't able to purchase the caliber of gifts as I have in the past. That was a little frustrating in the beginning however as always, things happen for a reason and all things worked out great. I ended up finding these beautiful daisy cups at Target and had them personalized for the girls. They are really beautiful. The girls really love them.

Let's talk about their gift to me. Wow....it really brought me to tears when I saw their gifts. Kevin purchased a platter from this pottery store and had the design from the back of one of our shirts drawn on it. The girls then wrote personal messages on it. It is so beautiful! I love it! I have to get a display stand so that I can take to work and place it in my office. It is wonderful. Oh...it doesn't stop there....the girls also each wrote a personal letter of appreciation to me. Talk about emotional...I was in tears reading some of their kind words. Just reading their thoughts toward me was so refreshing and humbling. I will always and forever cherish these gifts.
