ANNOUNCEMENT!! I’m SO excited to be able to announce that I was chosen to be a board member for the Genesis Young Leaders, an auxiliary for Genesis Women’s Shelter.
Cowtown ball – Directly after our photoshoot, Rachel Garrett, Kaylee Killingsworth, Tiffany Weeks (one of our board members and the2012 Miss Duncanville), and I went to the Cowtown Ball in the Fort WorthStockyards. The Cowtown Ball is a benefit for the American Cancer Society. Rachel and I were paired up to sell raffle tickets for a diamond ring, but halfway through we got the opportunity to race armadillos!! Only in Texas do titleholders get to race armadillos!!
Sears Anti-Bullying Event – Bullying is such a prevalent issue in our society and Sears is making an effort to stop this problem with their Anti-Bullying Campaign. Brittney Bennett, Holly Morgan (my teen), and I were invited to come spread the word and sign autographs at Sears!
Miss Dallas – It’s important for us titleholders to gosupport our pageant sisters compete and all of the other local pageants. I highly respect the Miss Dallas organization and wanted to go show my regards by attending and supporting theirpageant. The pageant was filled with INCREDIBLE competitors, and the stunning Monique Evans won the crown. I was so impressed to see how hard she has worked since Miss Texas. Congrats Monique and Tati (Miss Dallas’ Outstanding Teen)!!
MFWSO Round Table – I loved getting together with all of my organization sisters again as we went through make-up tips with our make-up professional Caitlin Sisk and worked on our interviews. I am so impressed with the extensive knowledge and conviction of my fellow pageant sisters. To be surrounded and loved by such a supportive and inspiring group of young women and board still astounds me everytime we all have the chance to get together.
Fort Worth Parade of Lights – Getting together with the Fort Worth, North Texas, and my own Tarrant County group for the Fort Worth Parade of Lights was incredible. I was soblessed to have had my amazing parents come in town to spend Thanksgiving with me and to be a part of this great experience. There were countless attendants at the parade that went through downtown and it was fantastic seeing my parents waving at me and snapping pictures. THE BEST PART: Apparently, at one point in the parade, one of my ED’s (Shelli Bates) overheard a couple with their toddler shout, “We know her!! We know Miss Tarrant County!” as I passed by. When my ED asked how they knew me, they said they had gotten to know me at an appearance. That’s what this is all about – they didn’t feel like they had just met me, they felt like they had gotten to know me, and that is the job of a titleholder.
Miss Duncanville – As I said earlier, I truly believe in supporting our numerous organizations whenever possible. I went to the Miss Duncanville pageant and was able to watch my teenie (Holly) give up her title as Miss Ellis County’s Outstanding Teen and cheer on LaKesha Clark as she won Miss Duncanville!
DIFFA – Deck the Doors – This appearance was beyond fun! The other titleholders were Brittney, Rachel, and the new Miss Duncanville’s Outstanding Teen, who is just a gem. Rachel and I were paired in the back with the photographer, and boy, did we have a blast! The toy-soldier models even came to take pictures with us! I loved spending time with my beautiful sisters for such an incredible cause.
