I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me with this pageant. The pageant is just a few short days away, I'm excited, nervous and ready all at the same time. This is something I would love be, Mrs. Virginia, if the time is not right that will be fine. I wish all the other delegates all the best of luck! See you all on May 2nd in beautiful Williamsburg.

NCVRW

Today, April 26, 2009, I walked for the NCVRW, National Crime Victim's Rights Week. I walked 1o laps for the case of child and teen victimization. It was a beautiful day, so it made it much more than just walking it was about helping.

Bikers came from everywhere, even Sweden!

On April 25, 2009 I got to be a part of a great thing! This was the 5th annual Jon Bowling Memorial Bike Ride. Jon Bowling was a dear friend of mine as well as my husbands, he lost his life defending ours in Iraq. It was a gorgeous day and I know Jon was with us that day! We will never forget.

The Womanless Beauty Pageant

I was a special guest at the first Ms. Patrick County Womanless Beauty Pageant. This was a exciting, crazy and fun-filled fundraising event. This pageant helped to raise money for the S.C.A.T. program, or the after-prom committee. A lot of money was raised, along with every one's spirits. What a fun-filled evening!

April Blood Drive

This was a very exciting day for me! I GOT TO DONATE! I made an appearance at the April 7, 2009 Blood drive. It has been a very long time since I have been able to give the gift of life. I have overcome all the obstacles in front of me and was finally able to donate. I was very thrilled about this. It was another great blood drive!

Mrs. Virginia Orientation!

I made the long trip to Winchester, Va on April 4, 2009 for the Mrs. Virginia United States orientation!

I am wishing everyone much luck with the upcoming pageant on May 2, 2009! Good Luck and every one of you are fantastic inside and out!

Music Association Music Jam

I attended the Patrick County Music Association Music Jamboree on March 28. I had a blast listening to all the local bluegrass bands play! It was a ball mingling with the town folk!

What a beautiful and exciting day! I was able to travel to Winchester, Va to the home of Mrs. Virginia United States 2008, Lisa Lutz, to have pageant orientation for my upcoming pageant on May 2.
