Singing at Summit Hills Assisted Living

At Summit Hills Assisted Living, they do birthday parties by the month. So everyone with a January birthday came to the party today. It was so cute...they had cake and cookies with some drinks. We sang Happy Birthday all together and they residents sang "Happy Birthday to ME!" HAHA I sang some hymns and my sweet boyfriend Robert played to guitar for me. They had many questions for me about North Greenville and going to Miss South Carolina. It was nice to know they were interested in what I was doing. I can't finish this blog without telling a few funny things they said. First, I asked this one lady what she would like to drink and she said, "well nothin ya got here...that's for sure!" haha I was cracked up at this little fiesty lady. After that, when I was speaking, this one lady started talking about the vice president and then asked me if I was the president. I felt bad that she was confused, but it's hard not to get tickled at times. And finally, I gave each of them one of my autographed cards for Miss NGU and he said "Can I tell my wife you're my girlfriend?" haha They were so sweet and it was a little scary how much I fit in with the elderly! ha ;)

Awake With Drake 103.3

My sweet Aunt set up an interview session for me with her friend, Mr. Bill Drake. Bill Drake has been in the radio business for over 30 years. It was so much fun interviewing with Mr. Drake. I was on the radio for two segments, the first lasting about 25 minutes and the second session was about 15 minutes. He interviewed me on my platform, about NGU, he asked me questions about my childhood, politics and our new President, and much more. It was really exciting and fun. Thank you to my Aunt Pam for helping me, my Dad for going with me, and Mr. Bill Drake for allowing me to be on his show!

Childrens Miracle Network

Wow...I haven't blogged in a while. Things got so busy with Christmas and then New Years, but don't worry I am still working hard towards my goal to be Miss South Carolina! The Children's Miracle Network is the Miss America Organization's national platform. We are asked to raised $250.00 each for the Children's Miracle Network during our year of reign. I have learned so much about this organization and have really come to love what they do. The CMN treats 17 million children a year for various diseases and injuries. There are 170 hospitals affiliated with the CMN and Greenville is one of them! If possible, I would greatly appriciate your donations to help me reach my goal and also to make a difference in the life of a child. The link to donate on account of Miss NGU is http://www.missamerica4kids.org/m.aspx?i=932157BAC9CE64 Thank you for everyone who has already donated and will donate in the future!
