Beautiful Conference at Victory Church

  

     The blogs are getting backed up once again, so I, the oldest daughter, am going to write about the Beautiful Conference. It was a Wednesday  evening when my mother said that we would be going to Beautiful on Friday. I had heard her talk about how fun it was before, so I was  very exited, especially when she told me that my best friend Cati, who I met about 11 and a half years ago, would also be going with her mother and friend.


    We left at about 2:30pm ( I was happy to get out of school early) and stopped at the house to grab our belongings. We then headed to Enid to get Jordan (the bonus daughter as mom likes to call her) and then head to OKC for the Conference. After being in the car a while, we all decided that we were very (and I mean very) hungry. We stopped at McDonald's to grab a bite to eat (I got a 10 piece chicken nuggets, thinking I couldn't eat it all and could share, but I devoured them in 5 minutes flat) and got on the road again.


    After our very long (almost 3hr. ) drive we finally arrived at Beautiful! We went inside and saw some very fun decorations(including which was a dress made out of news paper, which I could definitely wear to prom!) and booths with clothes, jewelry, and a coffee bar (which Jordan took advantage of, she loves coffee). We went inside the sanctuary and found our seats next to our friends (thank goodness).

 

   Then the music started, it was quite amazing, with flashing lights, a full band, and amazing singers. To make it better there were dancers of all ages ,starting with the youngest and ending with the oldest. Then a few speakers spoke. The speakers this year were Laura Story, Wendy Treat, Jon Chasteen, and Barb Swanson. They were really, really good. After a couple speakers, we went with everyone else outside to get our free bracelets (which were BEAUTIFUL) and eat snacks and have a party( which we didn't stay for, I was a little disappointed ).We then went to my mom's friends house to stay the night (we stayed up late talking) and got up early the next morning to head for Beautiful once again.

    When we arrived I forgot my lanyard in the car ( I ran back and got it ) and then we went inside again.We sat down and the music started(it was amazing as always) and the speakers spoke. They played a few videos (Pinterest parody, and You're Beautiful parody, I recommend watching them on youtube) and then it was time to eat lunch. We ate at  Charleston's with the whole crew, and it was very good. We headed back and I forgot my lanyard once a-gin ( as my youngest sis would say ) and had to run and get it a-gin! We sang a little more music, heard a few more speakers and headed home.

    It was a really great experience. I hope I get to go back next year, and I think it was a great place to Steeple Chase with my mom.
