Braden's Enchanted Dinner

I'm sure I've mentioned Braden Cope before?

Yes, I know I have.

Well, he has done a lot for the Bytheway House and we wanted to give him a little thanks.

We were having a roommate meeting and we were trying to come up with a few idea.

Kylee came up with a brilliant one.

Braden loves theme dates.

For example, he is going to have a nickel themed date, and everything will be centered around a nickel.

Kylee came up with Snow White and the seven dwarves.

Which became Joe White and the seven Bytheway girls.

That's really clever, huh?

Kylee is brilliant!

Well, we were going to have this huge party, but it became dinner and social time.

Which was so nice because we had not talked with Braden in a very long time.

We had a lot to catch up on! 

Our dinner was delicious and the talking was even better.

I don't think Braden will ever know how much he blessed our lives this semester.

He always uplifted us and encouraged us to become better.

He taught by example along with words.

He gave us multiple priesthood blessings.

Yesterday I needed someone to talk to and he was there.

I didn't say much, but he just knew that I needed him.

It turns out he was having a rough week too.

I've become caught up in myself and it was exactly what I needed to be able to hear his problems.

It's nice to know that one of my friends needed someone to talk to and I was there.

Braden is a tender mercy.

I wish him the best in his life.

I think he is definitely going to be a stalwart member of the church.

Thanks for being great Braden!

Final result!


I can't wait to do parties like this for my kids!
Cheap, fun, and great memories! :)
