Candelight Gents 16









One of my dearest friends Mr. Boulden invited us to his sons Gents Party. Mr. Boulden is a man that volunteers at our school everyday from 8-3:15pm It has been two yrs that he has been doing that. He is like my Dad. Heck he is a Dad to the whole school. Half the kid at my school don't have a father and consider him one just like I do. Mr. Boulden is a father of 7 kids(two girls and five boys)and is a Katrina survivor. All the boys are named Michael Boulden. We were able to see evidences of Katrina and hear stories.






Angelique and Araceli were asked to stand up in it. Angelique held a candle and Araceli dropped flower pedals as she walked down the church aisle. I was even asked to speak at the church. The speakers were Mr. Boulden, me and the preacher. Even though I was at a Baptist church I was to share the story of the Anti-Nephi Lehis who buried their swords and the 2,0000 Stripling Warriors who fought for freedom.






The food was all made by Mr. Boulden himself. He made red beans and white rice, homemade potatoes, gumbo, chicken, spicy meatballs, cajun rice, ham, meat in gravy....... The list goes on and on except I don't know the names of these dishes. It was yummy!! We all had slushies that were so, so good. They had a DJ and then a famous raper. Of course I didn't even know who he was . The famous raper had two dancers with him and they danced a little that was fun to watch. He didn't allow them to do any ugly moves because this was a family event. I thought that was nice. Then to our surprise a live jazz band entered the hall. Boy was that awesome!! Everyone was dancing and having fun! We were given a cake to take home. That was also yummy!! It was about a five in a half hour drive to and five in a half back.






I was happy I went and these were the nicest people you would ever meet! Great Food and Entertainment!
