PSO Parade of Lights

Thank you Aunt Tracy for loaning us your beautiful car!
Thank you Larry Fox for the signs! They were perfect!

Last night, I appeared in the PSO Parade of Lights! A special thank you goes out to Aunt Tracy and Uncle Dave for providing the convertible for the parade. Thank you also to my wonderful husband Bobby and my friend Ryan Purdy for escorting me. Also, thank you to Larry Fox for being a wonderful contact at Parade Headquarters and for having wonderful signs made for the car! I appreciate each of you so much.

The parade itself was a blast! Prior to the parade, I signed autographs for little girls and boys who were helping out in the fire department float. I met and took photos with the crash test dummies, Tom Hufford AKA Huffy the Clown of the Tulsa Firefighters' Educational Clowns, and Hornsby of the Tulsa Drillers. Tom invited me to participate in some of their upcoming parades and fire safety programs. I am thrilled to be able to help.

Hornsby's horn almost took out my crown!

We had so much fun!

I also met Mrs. Tulsa International 2010, Stephanie Anello. What a sweet person! She rode in the parade immediately before me. She has a passion for helping people with diabetes, and like my husband, her husband is a hunter! He has his own hunting show called Inside Outdoors, which I thought was pretty cool! (Both my husband and our friend Ryan are hunters.) Stephanie will be a great representative of the Tulsa area and I wish her the best of luck at Mrs. Oklahoma International 2010.

While I haven't seen the footage yet, I hear that I was on television! Several people called and texted Bobby as we were driving by the television cameras. Too funny! My friend Janitha mentioned on facebook that they called me Mrs. Oklahoma 2010 by mistake. She said, "Maybe it's a sign!" :) I hope it is! But I will be happy with whatever outcome is God's will for me. Through my service as Mrs. Tulsa and the benefits of my pageant preparation, I feel as though I've already won. :) I am so grateful that my service as Mrs. Tulsa America is a part of His plan.

Thank you to Larry Fox, Kerry Rowland, and all of the staff and volunteers who made the PSO Parade of Lights possible.
