Update

Dear friends and family,
Life has been busy lately, as the Mrs. Oklahoma Pageant is less than two weeks away! I have pictures to post and entries to write, but I haven't had the time to update my blog lately. Thank you for continuing to read if you are reading this!

In the last few weeks, I have visited with Mrs. Mills' 5th grade class. I have been teaching Forever. For Real. on Monday evenings at St. Gregory's University and Thursday nights at Family & Children's Services on Peoria. I also taped a public service announcement for the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative at New Day Media (I can't wait to post it!). I visited the Mrs. Missouri pageant and attended the Tulsa concert of OK Mozart's Spring Concert Tour. I've also been working on the developmental psychology component of the most recent revision to our training materials for Blended Love's teachers and volunteers. It has been exciting and fun, and I have met many wonderful and interesting people, including many who support my platform and want to help OMI and Blended Love. I have learned so much and look forward to writing about my experiences and the results of my research here.

I've also been taking care of the final details for Mrs. Oklahoma. I can't believe the pageant is only two weeks away! I'm not as fit as I would like to be, but I'm doing my best to prepare, focusing on my strengths, and keeping my values and beliefs in mind. I don't believe a contestant will win when she is trying to be someone she's not. I'm getting ready to share my heart with the judges, contestants, and staff, and keeping everything in perspective. God's will be done! All things happen for a reason, and all things work together for good for those who love Him. I'm ready for whatever He has in store for me, and I'm looking forward to spending time with my amazing fellow contestants and our husbands, and enjoying our state pageant experience.

I better run now! I'm so sleepy. Thank you for reading. I will post more pictures, journal entries about my latest appearances, and articles soon.

Good night, friends!
