Catching Up....

Hello All!! I just want to apologize for my absence life has been extremely busy for myself & my family but I wanted to share the past few months with you and continue current updates as my reign comes to an end here in a few months...and the next few months should be busy as we prepare for the new Mrs. Texas to be crowned in June!

So the past few months in a flash... LOTS has happened, so I will stick with a few photos of the "big" things... :) Most are with my family because of you know me, that comes first, and since things have been so hectic we spent a few months traveling together and enjoying my son grow so fast! :)

So after I catch you up below I will start posting as events are soon to come as we prepare for the Mrs. Texas 2010 Pageant!
