When we were considering adopting Jena, I felt very strongly that we would not be alone as we raised her but that her life would be filled with angels to help her. Kate Meyer is one of those angels. I am not sure exactly when they first met but they have been friends throughout high school for sure and probably before. She helped me as I was trying to help Jena decided on a date for Sadie's Dance in the fall and this week she reached out to me to see if Jena was planning on going to Preference. Jena and I had just started having those conversations (started by Jena, of course. She is glad to have some control in these things.) Kate invited Jena and her date to join with their small group for the day date and dinner/dance. Jena is thrilled.
She has asked Gareth Williams:

"Save the Date
Feb. 14
Will you go with me?
Jena
Check the Pig!" |
All of these things were packed up in the blue bag with lots of tissue paper. The pig was filled with candy as well. We had planned on putting the coins in the pig as well but they were too big. Hard to read but they just say "Gareth, Preference 2015, Jena). Gareth and Jena were in seminary class together and he often joins Kate and Jena for lunch at school.
And we have found a short fancy party dress (black and dark teal) for her to wear which she loves. We are renting it from a local shop where she rented her Prom dress last year. Pictures will follow when the big day arrives. Now the decision is what to do with her hair!!! Jena is going to make sure she gets all of the fun out of high school and being a senior as she can.
