Wow. first in a life time

Last night I was crowned Jr. Miss Castle Dale. I didn't expect it at first, but then I realized that this was something that would stick with me the rest of my life. I was happy, yet sad. I didn't want to win really, and I didn't think I would. I was worried about doing marching band and Castle Dale roalty all at the same parade! I am more calm now tho. I feel that I will do what ever I am needed to do. I wouldn't have been there last night if it wasn't for Brittany and Rachel. We decided all together that we would do it, and I almost dropped out. They made me stick with it and I was happy that I did. I am thankful for all of my friends and their support that they gave me. I am thankful for my mom sticking with my during the hard times when all I felt like doing is crying. I am thanful for my grandparents that had to drive 3 hours to come down and see me in the pageant. I am also thankful that my grandpa was nice enough to be my escort, because my dad couldn't make it. I forgive my dad for not being able to make it. He had a previous engagment, and he couldn't find a sub for it.

Here are the pics enjoy them!!

The relization of my name being called by the Mayor for Jr. Miss Castle Dale is just kicking in.... my first thought was oh crap

Being Crowned by last years Miss Castle Dale Shelby, she was also the one that put the pageant together. With out her, we would not have had a pageant this year. Way to go Shelby!
