Crazy, crazy, crazy. Exciting and overwhelming I guess is the way I can describe my life as of recently. I know it has been a couple weeks since I have posted, I like to try to post once a week but there are many times I don't get to that. So some of you might be wondering what has been going on in my life, others of you might care less but thats ok :) I have been definitely keeping myself busy with work and play. Its so nice that work has been busy because of the fact that I work at a small private company when things are really slow I get nervous. But when things are going well we are all in good moods. We just implemented a new computer system at work. And if any of you all know me then you know I totally suck when it comes to electronics (namely computers). So getting used to this system has been pretty tough but I will get is down one of these days. So, I have been doing a few fun events lately that I would like to share with you. The first event doesn't really have anything to do with my title. It was just a really enjoyable event. Recently (well it was actually the end of Sep.) I went to a function with some people from my work. We advertise through a local radio station (WJBR) and this event was sponsored by the station and it was a nice dinner and cocktail party. My husband and I went and we really had a tremendous time thanks to our WJBR reps (thanks Kyle and Dan!). More recent news, last Sunday I was given the opportunity to attend an event with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and I had such a good time. The event was a 1 mile walk on the Monster Mile (Dover speedway) and it was great to meet and see so many people come out and support such a great cause. I was honored to do this event with Ellen England (the new Mrs. Delaware United States 2010) and Krista Brazell (Mrs. Christiana) and I think I speak for all of us when I say we had fun! We all were stationed on the track and while the walkers were coming around we kept people off of the highest part of the track. While I was there I kept thinking about all the amazing opportunities I have been given since I have received my title as Mrs Patriotic. If it weren't for me being active in pageants I wouldn't have been able to be standing in the middle of the Monster Mile cheering people on as they walk around. I really thank God for the amazing opportunities that have been dropped in my lap. So in the past 4 months I have gotten the opportunity to get dolled up and model clothes, run a race through mud and obstacles, jump out of a plane and stand in the middle of a huge race track cheering people on. And these are just a few examples of some of the opportunities I have gotten, and there are many more coming up. But for me the most important thing is knowing that I am making a difference in other peoples lives. Changing the world one person at a time, how amazing it that! So here is a big shout out to all my sister queens who have given me the opportunity to do these kind of events and also to all the future opportunities I will get, THANK YOU!! I love you guys so much and my life feels so fulfilled and my countenance lifted because of all these great things. Speaking of future events coming up, this weekend I will be participating in the Wesley College Homecoming Parade. I will be riding in the parade with Fawn Stoms (Mrs. Peach Blossom). And we always have a great time when we are together. I just have to figure out what I am going to wear. Have a great weekend guys! Oh I almost forgot my really exciting news! If you can go pick up the latest Delaware Bride magazine because I am in it! Pretty cool, right?
