Washington State Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year Event - Seattle Qwest Field

Attended the Washington State Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year Event tonight in Seattle. 15 youth are in competition for the state title. 30 years ago I, myself, was named the very first Girl of the Year for Washington State. Wow, so much has changed since then - these kids are amazing! Tomorrow, Governor Gregoire will announce the winner. Best wishes to all of the candidates with a little extra shout out for Kainen Bell - our South Puget Sound Youth of the Year!
And "The Blog/Show Must Go On!!!"
Hello blog fans! Even though I have passed up the crown, it certainly does not mean my work is done. Matter of fact, our journey as a family has just begun! The Mrs. Washington 2010 title will always be apart of us and a blessing it has been. This title has opened so many doors for us to have hopefully made a difference in the lives of special need families and my prayer is that it will continue to do so. So stay in touch and may you be blessed! Below is information on a workshop I am coordinating to bring awareness to an alternative treatment for movement disorders such as Tourette Syndrome. Also, this Thursday, March 24 is our next Tourette Syndrome Support Group Meeting as well - see link above for more information!

Congratulations to Lisa Bluhm - Mrs. Washington 2011!
I just got finished unpacking after an exciting weekend in Moses Lake passing on the crown to my dear friend Lisa Bluhm (Mrs. Pacific Northwest) - our new Mrs. Washington America 2011! Congratulations to Tamara Deporter (Mrs. Seattle) on placing 1st Runner-up and Dionne Tarter (Mrs. Thurston County) on placing 2nd Runner-up. I will be sure and post pictures soon. Lots to post from my last week as Mrs. Washington 2010! Have to get ready for bed now! Sweet dreams!
Last Day as Mrs. Washington 2010!
Well, today I will pass on the crown to the next Mrs. Washington 2011! What a journey this has been not only for me, but for my family as well. As we reflect on this past year, we see God's hand in it all! Actually, I believe our journey has really just begun as we continue to do His will in bringing hope and encouragement to families of special needs.
This past week has been fitting in providing closure to the title. Yesterday, my family attended a Special Education Conference in Shoreline giving testimony on the success of an alternative treatment for Tourette Syndrome we saught for our son Kenny this last November. I will post pictures later this week, as well pictures of the pageant. Must go to bed now - long, but exciting day tomorrow!
