Hard to believe the pageant is only five days away!!! To all my family, friends, partners, and sponsors thank you for everything.  I am ready and excited to make you all proud. 

The last eight months have been filled with new relationships and amazing memories.   I look forward to the next adventure and chance to represent Washington on a national level. 

I will be transitioning to Facebook for updates beginning Thursday morning.

Thank you to all for the support during this journey. 

Veteran's Day

Thank you does not seem enough for all the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country.  To members of my family, my friends, and co-workers among the active and retired military community please know you are appreciated more than words can say.

My thoughts go out to all the families who have been impacted by the sacrifice of your loved ones.  While the official day of celebration and remembrance fall's on this Friday, November 11th please know the combined prayers of a country occur each and every day.

Thank you for your service ~

Crowns for Kids

Yesterday afternoon I was honored to participate in the 2011 Crown's for Kids to benefit Children's Miracle Network and the Miss Spokane Scholarship Fund.  The event kicked off with an official welcome from our MC for the afternoon tea and fashion show our own local beauty queen and celebrity Angela Monson.  Joining me for the afternoon fashion show were current and former royalty from the local or regional organizations. 

Glamarita supplied my unique handcrafted formal gown and Park Lane Jewelry provided the beautiful blue earring, necklace, and bracelet combination.   Thank you Cheri Moore for organizing this amazing event and allowing me to be a part of the afternoon.

Pumpkin Ball

The Pumpkin Ball was a mix of fashion, fun, and creativity as the Spokane community came together for the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery and Sacred Heart Children's Hospital. 

My friend Stacey Davis and I helped out at the pumpkin carving station as the teams worked to create amazing designs.  There were nine teams of two comprised of medical professionals and Spokane celebrities.  The designs ranged from a fortune telling pumpkin to an iGourd.  Pictures of the winner and other designs will be posted for all in the coming weeks on the Pumpkin Ball website.

Can't wait for next year ~

Women's Survival Show

Wellness, community giving, and relaxation techniques were the theme for the Women's Survival Show on Friday, October 21st.  The event was not only fun but very informational.  I was blessed to participate and explain the impact of the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery to those in attendance.  We were able to enlist nursery volunteers for the increasing need as well as communicate how important it is to give back to the community.  Thank you Anna and Teresa for making the evening so much fun.

Inland Northwest Baby 2nd Annual Tea

I had the privilege of speaking at the 2nd annual Inland Northwest Baby Tea party on Saturday.  The passion and drive of the founder Jesse Sheldon continues to amaze me.  This is a young man who at 13 decided to make a difference which continues to gain momentum throughout the community.  Please take a moment to visit their website and learn more about this organization.
