Cody Earns His Bear Badge!

This last May Cody earned his Bear Badge in Cub Scouts! Scouts has been an amazing confidence builder for Cody and has taught him valuable life skills that are not taught in schools these days. Despite his diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (PDD-NOS) he has accomplished so much thanks to Cub Scouts!

2011 All American Girl Washington State Pageant

In April, I had the honor of being the Emcee for the 2011 All American Girl Washington State Pageant which was held at the Everett Holiday Inn. What made my time here so special was the fact that it was at this very hotel that I competed in my very first pageant (Washington Miss American Coed Pageant) 25 years ago!
