Moses Lake Spring Festival

This weekend I attended the Moses Lake Spring Festival with other Mrs. Washington contestants.  The weekend was spent dancing, laughing, and creating memories. 
We started the weekend performing in the festival's lip sync competition.  Although shivering when we arrived on stage I think we would have made Tina Turner proud. 
I was lucky enough to have the support of my family (especially my sister Janet) to help get me ready and keep my on schedule.  
Sister Janet ~ thank you isn't enough!

Saturday we hit McCosh Park and were lucky enough to meet some really amazing people from Moses Lake and surrounding areas.  I can proudly say I was able to sit on the back of a Harley with a Veteran.

Saturday evening we walked in the parade and were able to hand out candy and meet more of the Moses Lake community.

The weekend ended on Sunday with a quick stop at Michael's Bistro for coffee and pastries before hitting the road.  Thank you Moses Lake for making us feel so welcome and sharing this special event!

About Me

My photo
Spokane, Washington, United States
Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
