Fifteen years ago (!!!) I was a high schooler here in PNG at Numonohi Christian Academy (NCA), nervously getting ready to attend the biggest banquet of the year. Who would ask me?! How would I do my hair?! What in the world would I wear?! Now it's my turn to watch each year as another generation of NCAers prep for the exciting event. Thankfully this time I'm not worrying about hair or makeup, but about flowers. For three years now I've gotten to help with making corsages and boutonnieres for banquet and I LOVE it.
This year, unlike last, there were beautiful flowers blooming all over the base so the kids had lots to choose from.
Last year was a zoo since I didn't do a lot of prep work beforehand, making the day of banquet crazy. So this year I got smart with my prepping, and the day of ended up being a lot of fun instead of a lot of stress. One hour on Thursday, five hours on Friday, and seven hours on Saturday for a total of seventeen corsages and fifteen boutonnieres. Phew!
Thank goodness for my good friend, Gail, who's let me use her house and been a huge help for the past two years. Go team!
Some of the end results...
Picture time! This is always my favorite part. Josh and Lucy strike a pose before heading off to banquet.
All glammed up. Their night is just starting, but I'm ready to go home and crash!
