Sunday May 31st Mrs. Kentucky 1984 (Paula G.) came to a class at my Jazzercise Center today. Paula and I met during the Mrs. Kentucky 2009 pageant!

Monday June 1st Interviewed today by The Hamburg Journal for article to run in the July edition ;) Tuesday June 2nd Today I met Jo Ann at Miss Priss in downtown Lexington. Elizabeth & Cara at Miss Priss worked with us for hours to pick the perfect evening gown for the Mrs. America pageant. It is amazing and I am so blessed to have such amazing help! Jo Ann and I grabbed a quick bite of lunch at DaSha's and went over what paperwork details need to be completed for Mrs. America.

Tuesday June 8th - Thursday June 11th Each year all the women in my family make a pilgrimage to Carter Caves, KY for some "girl" time. This year the rain didn't slow us down as we (age 1 - age 77) enjoyed all that this amazing KY State Park has to offer!

Friday June 12th I was honored to participate for the second year at Relay for Life in Paris, Kentucky. I presented cancer survivors with a medal as they were announced at the start of the event. Relay for Life is dear to me as my grandmother was diagnosed (2007) with Lymphoma (stage 4) and is now in remission.
