4th of July Weekend

The weekend started with an fun-filled road trip to Renton with Mrs. Spokane County Amy Clark.  I am so proud of Genay Tucker, Miss Spokane.  She won the interview and was third runner up at the Miss Washington pageant this weekend.  Although the auditorium had no air conditioning she was able to remain calm, cool, and collected through the entire event.  We were lucky enough to be joined by other visiting queens and meet some truly wonderful and talented women. 



Before the pageant I was fortunate enough to join some of the Mrs. Washington contestants at The Keg Steakhouse in Renton.  The food and company were both equally amazing! 


Ending the weekend celebrating the 4th with family around the pool with homemade ice cream topped off a fun holiday weekend.  Although I am a bit red I am looking forward to the summer officially arriving in Spokane with 80 degree weather in our near future. 

Welcome July!

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.
