Journey ~ Girl's Retreat 2010

-

We were graced with 23 lovely ladies and their two chaperones this past weekend. Journey-Iowa was a retreat for girls ages 14-19. Their goal was to inspire young women to desire and pursue feminine loveliness through Christ. In addition to this, they learned practical advice and ideas on how to apply Christ-like beauty to their daily lives, including the art of social graces, the art of communication and the art of personal presentation.
These lovely young ladies graced Miss Spenser and I with a dozen beautiful Pink Roses...we were so touched!!


They not only demonstrated the beauty of being a lady, they were equally delightful in their conversations with us. What a fun weekend...thank you Journey-Iowa for allowing us to be a part of your weekend!! If you didn't partake this year...be sure to do so next year!
