Weekend of Events

2009-10-03T18:29:00.000-07:00

Some of my favorite appearances are with the beautiful ladies of the Mrs Oregon Pageant. Recently we had a very fun packed weekend. Saturday started out in Beaverton at the Beaverton Parade, where I can say I am extremely proud that we all were there held our heads up high and got soaking wet from the rain, but we all did it with grace and dignity! Then the group met at Red Robin for lunch and had the chance to pick the brain of Mrs Oregon Joelle, although she was a bit distracted with the Ducks playing on a TV in eye shot... He he he he ( Her dedication to the team is great!) Then off to Libbys shop for some much needed (at least on my part) rehersal and a short Arbone class. We were wore out, but ready for Sunday, we all met in downtown Portland on Sunday and joined about 50,000 men women and childern in the race for the cure. Our team name "Crowns for the cure". My son Travis was a huge help both Saturday and Sunday carring all items for us and even gettis us water durning the race! I love you my little man, Thank you!!

Along the road of my reign as Mrs Beaverton America 2010, I have had many appearances. 2 of my favorite were the Sleep Country PJ Bowl @ Big Al's in Vancouver, WA and the Strike out against Parkinson's @ Sunset Lanes in Beaverton, OR. At these appearances I had the chance to meet foster children who are looking for good homes to go to. The ability to see how the foster care system first hand was amazing and right in line with my platform for "Speak out against domestic violence."

Helping at the event for Parkinson's was also an eye opener. I didn't know, that I know people with this life changing disease until that day, awareness truly is an an amazing thing no matter what the case!!!

In June all of the Mrs Oregon America contestants and Mrs Oregon J'oelle Rankins-Goodwin all attended the Naval Officers reception. It was a fun evening for us ladies to meet and great the Naval officers and tell them about our beautiful State and the different places to visit while here. This was also the first chance for many of the contestants to meet. We are forming such a great and lasting bond.

Strike Out Against Domestic Violence

2009-08-09T09:12:00.000-07:00

On Saturday August 1 with the help of Sunset lanes a fundraiser was put together to help get awareness out about Domestic Violence. We had a 9 pin no tap fun bowl day. Many of the area business donated gift basckets and gift certificates to be raffeled off. The fundraiser made a little over $200 for Strike out against domestic violence. I have decided to make this an annual event although will be holding another one in the fall of this year. Many learning tips from the owners of Sunset lanes.

How Brian and I met!!

2009-05-29T09:24:00.000-07:00

I moved from PA in October of 2005. I instantly started interviewing for jobs. In November 2005 I interviewed at Woodfeathers Inc. While waiting for my interview to start I saw Brian from across the room. I thought he was very nice looking and had a great smile. I was offered the job about a week later. I was looking forward to seeing him again although I didn't know who he was or anything about him. My first few days at the company went by and I didn't see him and thought oh well he must not work here anymore. But then He came into the office and was introduced to me. By this time I figured we could only be friends because we work together and he is younger than me. But still thought he was cute. Brian became my best friend at work, and I could tell him anything. Then one day an email popped up on my screen from him and he asked me out. I figured what the heck let see what happens... Well what happen was from that moment on I couldn't imagine my life without him in it. He is my best friend, soul mate and so much more. I am so excited to be marrying my best friend.

I am so excited to be taking on a new venture as Mrs. Beaverton America. I will be competing for the title of Mrs Oregon America 2010 on November 1st 2009. I have already met 2 of the other wonderful ladies competing with me. Macy Bishop ~ Mrs Clackamas Co and Kimberly Buckingham ~ Mrs Oregon City. We made an appearance at the Lion's luncheon honoring the Rose Festival Princesses. It was a beautiful event. I have already walked in the Ave of Roses Parade, helped out at the annual PJ Bowl for sleep country supporting the foster care system, appeared at the Strike down Parkinson's at Sunset lanes in Beaverton, I wore my banner proudly as I watch my duaghter compete in the National American Miss Pageant, and will be throwing out the 1st pitch on June 11th to help support my plat form, "Speak out against domestic violence."

I married my best friend on August 16, 2008 in Seaside Oregon. We had a beautiful beach ceremony. We had friends and family attend from all over the US. Together we are raising my 4 children, Clayton 13, Travis 12, Cory 11, and Abby 9. We are looking forward to a great life and journey together.
