Red- Mango Fundraiser

Last Thursday, I teamed up with Red Mango to support the Children's Miracle Network.  It was so much fun and very successful! It turned out to be such a nice day out and I was in the Columbia Red Mango for about 5-6 hours.  I was talking with people, thanking them for their support and eating great frozen yogurt! Red Mango gave 20% of the receipts to Children's Miracle Network which was awesome! A big thanks to Brittany, and all the other Red Mango staff! Another big thanks to all my friends and supporters who came to Red Mango, I love you! 

Meet Ashley

Greetings,

I would like everyone to know and meet my little sister, Ashley Fuller! I have been so blessed to have been paired with such an AMAZING girl!  She lives in Mexico Missouri, and enjoys a lot of sports and she loves to hunt!  She is quite the jokster and is so intelligent.  Last week we went to dinner and we were there for over 2 hours, because Ashley is by no means dull.  We were meant to be together, based on the simple fact that we can both talk for hours.  Ashley and I have a lot in common and we are looking forward to a lot of fun adventures together including our Girls Sleepover next weekend, summer swims and so much more! I could not be more thrilled to have the Fullers as my second family!

Easter Fun!

On Sunday, my lovely director Angie gave Alexis and I the opportunity to be apart of a fun Easter party! I had the opportunity to to decorate lots of confetti cookies and just have a fun time.  Kids are truly the greatest gift from God.  We took pictures with the Bunny, children, and just had a fun time! Fun days with my wonderful Sister Queen are the best! We made great cookies and had cotton candy!!!! After this Angie ( my director) Celia- KC board member and former contestant, and Miss KC Teen Megan and I went shopping! So much fun and such great purchases!

LOVE LIFE TODAY AND EVERYDAY!

Greater Kansas City Day

This was such a fun filled day.  Alexis, Kari and myself had an awesome time with Kansas City celebrities!   We boarded a trolly at dawn, I of course had my coffee in hand.  We were so fortunate to be with such a fun energetic group.  Chief players, Royals players, announcers, and the 3 queens.  We stopped traffic with our fierce poses, asking people to support children's camps by selling newspapers and I had a blast giving away blue Krispy Kremes!!!! I enjoyed shouting, "0 calories" because when you are supporting a good cause the joy you see for these kids will wipe any calorie count away!

After we finished raising money, we had a nice brunch with all the celebrities.  Bobby Bell, a Chief's Hall of Fame player was such a hoot.  He had all of us laughing the whole day and we each received special Booby Bell lip balm- cherry flavored.  Fun times, great friends, great people- coming together for memories and leaving with so much more!

Cheers!

Dance Dance Dance

Not only do I love dancing at any given time when the music is right, but I love dancing with my SISTER QUEEN, Alexis Albright! Alexis and I had the opportunity to Dance for hours to raise money for Children's Miracle Network.  There were all sorts of themes to the dance day and it was a lot of laughs and sweat!  We were fortunate enough to be on Cody's Crumpers, yes that was our team name! It was awesome to see so many students come out and dance for the 10 hour experience!

DANCE, DONATE, DARE TO BE APART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL?

Cheers!

Blessed!

Over Spring Break, although I was not on a beach, I was able to spend quality time with my mom and with the Miss Greater KC organization.  My mom came for orientation and then went on a four day adventure in 3 states with me to look for the perfect dress.  The laughs, the tears, and all the fun food we ate was definitely worth spending much of my spring break in the car.  I'm so blessed to have a mother who supports and loves me so much.  She does anything she can to help me and she is an incredible woman.  


In addition to having a wonderful mother, I can not thank my director Angie Young, for being the most outstanding director.  At the very beginning of this journey she was ready to dive in right there with me.   Every question, concern, freak out moment thus far she has been there!  This year has been so worthwhile because of Angie supporting me and laughing with me!


Finally, another warm blessing that came into my life right when I needed her, Shannon West.  Shannon West my dance coach is soft-spoken and spunky, calm and vibrant, from her dance skills to her crazy tattoos.   Every dance practice is an opportunity to not only better my dance skills, and my number for Miss Mo. but most importantly I have had the opportunity to build a new friendship! Shannon is so patient and kind and truly loves the arts and that's what makes her such an amazing teacher!

Thank you Lord for the blessings you have granted me with thus far. 

I love this song and it resinates with this passage!

Friday Night Mentoring

On Friday I was fortunate enough to team up with AAUW- American Association for University Women, for a mentoring program.  AAUW a Mizzou organization that I'm involved in gave young ladies in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade the opportunity to come out for a p.j. party.  I was given the opportunity to talk to the girls about the importance of confident and the importance of loving herself for who she is.  It was so much fun as Miss Greater KC, but also as an AAUW member to talk about my platform and a topic I feel strongly about! The young ladies seemed to really enjoy it, and I'm so happy for the success of the new program!
