Thumbs up My friend's little girl,Kaya,told me that you must wear PINK leotards to ballet class

We just found out we are PINK!!!

I never knew how beautiful a color could sound. We found out at dinner and my friends little girl, who is five, overheard us rejoicing about getting "pink"...that was when she chimed in about the pink leotards!!

Heres to many pink pairs of leotards in my future!!!!

We have our appointment next Wed the 20th!!!!

Thank you for all of your prayers today. We got the wire down to the Embassy AND we got PINK!!!!


Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!!
Jennifer
