Well I know its been awhile since my last post, I have been very busy the last several months. I am still collecting shoes for my platform Soles4Souls. Currently I have collected over 2000 pairs. I am working on another shipment so my numbers will go up even higher.

After Miss Iowa week I was in the 4th of July parade in Muscatine, Grandview and West Liberty. I really had alot of fun and enjoyed seeing all my pageant sisters.

I started back to school in August at L & M High School. I really like the smaller school it is like everyone is family there. I have made alot of new friends and some really nice teachers. I went to my first homecoming dance at L & M this year with a group of girls, we started with pictures and out to eat then to the dance. I had a good time.

September 24, 2011 My mom, my sister and I packed up the truck to go see a Taylor Swift concert and went on a girls weekend away, we went to Kansas City Mo. We left on Friday morning, decorated my sisters truck with Taylor Swift songs, and drove 8 hours to the hotel. Last year we got to meet Taylors mom Andrea and this year we meet Taylors dad Scott. Next year hopefully we get to meet Taylor Swift!!! We had a blast at the concert!!

I went to the pageant school where Katie Stam spoke about her experience with the Miss America, she was awesome and I loved hearing her stories. I had to leave a little early due to volleyball, but I still had fun while it lasted!

Well I think this is it for now, I will try to blog again soon.
