Last night Samantha put on a beautiful dress and left our home looking like a princess. This is her last Homecoming as a high school student--she and her good friend Mark went along with a large group of friends. The dress that Sam wore actually belonged to Mark's sister. She shared it with Sam but the dress was strapless so she made the little silver jacket that you see in the picture to help it fit within the modesty guidelines in the 'For the Strength of Youth' pamphlet.
These are those final moments that we will share and I am so grateful that she is the kind of girl that happily shares them with us. Sam is such a fun, beautiful, gregarious, young woman--a blessing to our family and a source of joy and goodness in our home.
