New Beginnings like you've never seen it before....ever.

Every year the Young Woman's program in my church is supposed to have an activity where we introduce incoming girls, talk about the annual theme, and get motivated to set and achieve goals. It's called New Beginnings, and these activities can often be bland, and rather tedious.  Not so in the Durham 2nd ward.  We went a little bit crazy with the Dr. Seuss theme "Oh the Places You'll Go."  Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss, right?   

Here is the group's president...aka the Cat in the Hat.  

The leaders dressed up as Things, the Cat in the Hat, a Who, and the Grinch's dog Max (you have to look hard to see the antlers).  I do love these women and am so lucky to work with them. 

What is Young Women's without gourmet refreshments?

We went to lots of places that night. We began in Whoville, then we were off to the Jungle of Nool, then to the One Fish Two Fish Pond, and then back to Whoville.  It was quite a night.

I was "Sister C." from Whoville and introduced the Young Women's theme and Personal Progress values

Did you know Truffula trees grow in Durham?  Now you do. 

These trees were donated to the Durham County public library because they were too awesome to toss.
