Girls Night and Good-Bye

With Kim leaving for college, we had a Girls' Night.  All of my daughters were here, as well as my mother and one of my sisters. 

We has fun with makeup and trying fun hair styles.

Laura had this total 80's look going for her, thanks to Kim.

Megan LOVED the girlying it up. 

Jasmine and Laura had fun posing for the camera.

Megan wanted her turn to put makeup on someone. My brave sister accepted the challenge.

Lucky for her, there wasn't real makeup on the brushes.

Then it was time for some final photos. We took pictures of Kim with each person.

I am sad that my daughter isn't going to be here, but so excited for the plans God has for her.

Laura had really grown close to Kim in this last year. 

My two older girls both now have moved out into the world.  As a mom, it's hard to let go.

Jasmine will miss her big sis.

My mom, Kim's grandma, is a strong woman in our family.  She raised three very strong daughters and has helped us with her seven grandchildren.

My baby sister is only six years older than Kim.  They often were more like sisters than Aunt and Niece.  Kim has always looked up to my baby sis as a Godly role model.  I am very happy that they are close.

This was a fun evening of "Girl Time", and a fitting way to send Kim off to school.  We didn't want to make it an overly sappy evening.  We wanted to keep it light and fun.  After all, Kim has gone off to college to pursue God's calling on her life.  She is engaged to a wonderful young man.  She is in a new season in her life, and we wanted to celebrate that.
