We found out about two weeks ago that the boys were planing a big night for us ladies, but we had no idea what was coming. This Friday we found out that we needed to be dressed up and that we needed to get our "hair did" and be ready at 7:00 sharp.
This is me and my roommates out in front of the building we were supposed to meet the guys at. We were so excited and nervous.

These were the first 4 guys to meet us. They checked us all in and brought us drinks. They were very gentlemanly.

This is me and my roommate Kariss! I love her. She has been such a blessing to me this summer. Her love for the Lord is in all that she does and she is uncompromisingly passionate.

As we walked down the hill this is what we saw. Our lovely and handsome men were waiting to escort us to dinner.

There are two girls to every one guy here so this is what the guys saw as we came down the hill.

Mark was my escort into dinner. It's amazing how someones treatment of you can make you feel special and valued. These guys worked hard to accomplish this and they most certainly did.

It is hard to describe how beautiful it was. They catered in our dinner!

This is me and Jessica. We were at the same table. Jessica was a major player in creating a bond among us women! She has been such gentle and strong leader.

It was a beautiful night but I felt like the sky was the smile of god on us. It was radiant. I can only imagine that he was proud of his sons and the way they were blessing his daughters!

These are all the girls that were at our table. From left to right it was Elizabeth, Jessica, me, and Brittany. It was a wonderful table and the food was incredible.

We had roses as the center piece of each table. They did an incredible job with decorations and everything. These are men with impeccable taste!

They were busy serving all of us women and they were so eager to do it.

So this is all of us Alphas. Frequently someone walks into a room and says "Hello Alpha family!" We are family and we have so enjoyed getting to know each other.

These are all of our men! They are wonderful and I am so thankful to have gotten to know all of them!

This is a kinda random group of us. From left to right it's Nate, Jessica, David, me, Micah, Elizabeth, Ben, and Brittany.

And of course along with the elegance there is always a little time for silliness so my roommate Brittany taught me how to fart with a straw. I can't say that I am proud of this picture but it was a fun moment.

This is me with all of the Alpha men. I am honored to have them as my brothers in Christ and I am have been blessed by the way that they have treated us with respect. In many ways they have helped us identify with our identity as beautiful daughters of God. Having said this let me just say a little somethin' about each of them. Starting on the left in the back: Joshua asks questions that continually challenge us to seek out God's character, Hal has the most wonderful sense of humor and can fill a room with joy and laughter, David is joyful and has a gift for putting others at ease, Micah has a contagious excitement for life and people, Gary is continually giving of himself, Brad is always investing in others, (up front) Peter is honest kind, and Ben has a heart of service and tenderness. It has been a joy to be around these men.
