The week has been busy and with all the other things going on in our lives, I have not had a chance to post about the Yuri Weekend with the Girls. Jenn and I planned a trip for Yuri as a final girls weekend away before she leaves for Asheville. We invited some of the ladies who we feel have been closest to Yuri over the years she has lived here.
We must give a BIG THANK YOU to Diane and Brenda for the accommodations.
We made some special gift bags for Yuri and included some of her favorite things in each bag. Each bag had a letter on the front and when completed spelled out Asheville. All the ladies contributed to the gifts and we hope Yuri finds enjoyment in her special things.
A = After the Boxes are Unpacked book that she can read and enjoy.
S = Stamps for writing letters to all of her friends back home...we expect a weekly letter!
H = Home, a pig ornament to represent her home in Davidson County (BBQ County)
E = Enjoy living close to Goodwill. She received Goodwill Dollars to spend in Asheville (there are several Goodwill Stores in Asheville that Yuri has already scoped out)
V = Vixen Nails. She will need manicure after she finishes getting her home here ready to sell. (Yuri, we have some painting for you to do) 
I = Indulge yourself in chocolate to help with the stress of moving. We gave her some of her favorite candy..ex M&Ms, dark chocolate, Hersheys & Dove.
L = Look like a Local in Asheville. (a tied shirt with peace on it and hippie skirt) She'll fit right in with the mountain locals!)
L = Letters to your friends. (Personalized Note Cards) No excuses not to write!
E = Everyone loves you here and will miss you dearly. (a friendship frame with our picture of our girls weekend together)We all did have a wonderful time of fellowship together and enjoyed some much needed rest and relaxation.
Back Row: Tonya, Angie, Patty (look closely, she's back there), Sharon, JenniferCenter Row: Lindsey, Kim, Renee
Front Row: Stephanie, Yuri, and Cori
We love you Yuri and look forward to meeting in Hickory for Girl's Night Out!
I want a girls weekend! I am sure this made her feel special.

ReplyDeleteI can't say thank you enough for a wonderful weekend spent with my friends! God has been good to me with so many friends. Even ones that didn't go with us. I just hope we can make some good friends in Asheville. We will never forget the ones here!!
