Welcome Dinner Miracle!

Trying to find a venue for 12 families was harder then I thought it would be.   I thought I had a building secured away and then I got bumped out for another even that was discovered had already been booked for that same night.

It took 3 months to find a new venue and it was only a week before the event!  My families were so amazing and so patient to find out where they would be going.  My thanks to Murray Library!

It turned out perfect!

This year is going to be amazing!!!

Welcome to Utah!!!

This year is going to be unbelievable!!  I have been fortunate enough to have placed 14 amazing kids with 12 equally amazing families!!

I have never placed this many before and I hope I can meet all their needs.

Already this has proved to be quite the task as trying to get photos at the airport of each family and student eluded me time and again.  One time the camera didn't actually take the pictures, another my camera died, another time I forgot it all together and then my phone died.  So until I can get pictures from those families I will wait to do my collage.

But here is who Utah welcomed this year!
