Junior Miss

Two weeks ago my sister Trynda and I were asked to come back and be the Masters of Ceremony for Aberdeen's Jr. Miss. Jr. Miss is a scholarship program/beauty pageant for junior girls in high school. Trynda and I were really nervous to do it but we're so glad we did! It was so much fun and brought back tons of memories. Each year they have a new theme; this year's theme was 'Journey to Fearless' and was centered all around Taylor Swift. So, Trynda was 'Taylor Swift' for then night, and I was Taylor's best friend 'Abigail'. Abigail has long red hair, so I dyed my hair red for the event, and loved it!!! At the very beginning we did a lip sync to the song "Sparks Fly" and it was so much fun! I wish we had a video to put on here but you'll just have to look at the pictures, some are blury and there's always a light in front of Trynda's fave, but it was the best I had. We really had fun, we found tons of jokes to keep the audience entertained, because that was the thing that worried me the most, was that people weren't going to laugh at our jokes...but we got a few good laughs so I think we did okay :) 



We were stressed out about what we were going to wear but found these awesome dresses at Express and they worked perfect for the night!
 This is the where we made our 'entrance' for the night, the beginning of our lip sync to 'Sparks Fly'.
 Yes, I might have gotten realllly into it :)

 Probably telling a really awesome joke :)
 With my family. We called Stetson and Kyran up for a push up contest and they had no idea! It was great entertainment! My mom couldn't be there because Shantae decided to have her baby the night before, so she had to miss it :(
 Probably some more great jokes....

I LOVE my cricut!

So I realized that I'm averaging about one blog post a month and so this month it's going to be on how much I love our cricut. A few teachers at my school went together to buy a cricut and it's so awesome. I used it to decorate my classroom at the beginning of the year and to make these two bulletin boards for the front entrance of my school. The one for Halloween was advertising for our Halloween Carnival. My 3rd and 4th grade social studies classes are putting on a County Fair this Friday, so I made a display showing which county each student had been studying. Sometimes when I look at the one for county fair I think all my kids look like criminals and those are their mug shots, haha. But that's mostly just on bad days lol. So bottom line is BUY A CRICUT! You won't regret it!
