This has truly been an amazing and busy first week of my reign. Time to get ready with all of the paperwork, interviews and activities. This week I was interviewed by several newspapers and also by Mayor Stan Shealy on Saturday, June 28 for a video he produced for the local Chapin cable network. Saturday afternoon I judged the Wee Miss Peach Festival pageant at Gilbert High School. Mrs. Harriet ran a great pageant and I met some wonderful people. Sully and I had a fun time there and ate at SUBWAY after. I'm still being good with my eating regimen, so I had turkey on wheat TOASTED! That always makes it taste great!
Saturday after the pageant I found a dress to wear in the upcoming Peach Festival Parade in Gilbert. It was purchased through First Impressions in Lexington. Wayne and Mary Ellisor are awesome and always seem to know just what to do to dress a gal for any event! The dress is beautiful in white and gold. Ms. Eartha will certainly work her magic and fit it to a T! I'm looking forward to wearing it on Friday for the parade, but also in Arizona during Nationals!
Since the fourth of July falls on a Friday this year, Sully will have that day off in addition to the weekend days. So a short week will be great for him. Once we pick up the car from Ben Satcher Ford (A HUGE THANK YOU to them for providing us the convertible for the parade) on Thursday afternoon, Sully will drive me in for the parade and then we'll enjoy a BBQ lunch with the politicians/dignitaries in Gilbert. It is going to be a great opportunity for me to catch a few photos, but hopefully talk with a few of them about working with me on arts advocacy and promoting funding for DSS / foster care programs. I'm all about finding those little windows of time that I can advocate for kids and the arts!
So as my first week comes to a close, let me just say that I am having a wonderful time as Mrs. SC America! If my first week is any indication of how much fun I'm going to have this year, I am so looking forward to each and every event! Until later...
