Kaitlyn's Celebration. Part 1

So my thoughts are all jumbled right now, we lost my Mother N Love the same week as Kaitlyn's 8th Grade Celebration/Dedication. It was really hard but Jesus is helping us!!

One of the HARDEST parts was not being able to attend the funeral and say our see ya laters. 

Dear Hubby couldnt travel and so we just stayed home as a family and greived in our own way. 

 But more on that later, first the Celebration!!!!!

My Mother helped SO MUCH and it would NOT have happened without her help. 

Than we had our very close friends the Kruse Family and Stinnett Family help during and after the gathering. We had friends from as far as Tucson and Cottonwood come down, not to mention Maricopa and Casa Grande area, and the locals that sacrificed no doubt to make this night extra special for us. 

I have to say that life has sure taught us who our real friends and family are. 

Bryan and Juliana sang one of our most favorite songs that has been our testimony. "Over and Over" and the new Pastor at Bible Holiness played the Guitar and had never played this song before nor had they sang it and they did a wonderful job. THANK YOU guys!!! We love y'all. 

So prepping for this gathering I had many ideas and decorations planned, but in the end The Lord just showed what mattered most and i think it still turned out  pretty. Kaity was happy and pleased and that is what mattered. 

So here are the pictures in no particular order.
