Only 2 more days to go...

I can't quite believe it, but there is only two more days to go.

I will only have the title of Miss Poulsbo until Saturday, March 29th. However I will always carry the honor of having been Miss Whatcom County 2005 and Miss Poulsbo 2007. Having been a top ten, people's choice winner at Miss WA in 2005 and the second runner up to Elyse Umemoto (who was 3rd in the nation) in 2007. Plus I was given so many honors at state this past year.

The highlight of my year was receiving word from the National program, when I returned from Miss WA that I had won the national community service award for Washington State!

The other highlight is the relationships I have built with two incredible ladies that I have come to love. Molly Lemmon, my pageant little sister, and Megan Hornbuckle - Miss Kitsap and my partner in crime! I am so lucky to have been blessed with these relationships. They have been a gift from God.
Megan We were a dream team!















Molly we were meant to be together. I am so blessed to have you as my little sister!
























The Lord knew I needed this year. I needed to connect to my community. I have found my home, which is something I've said a million times - but is SO true.

Some of my favorite hometown past times include but are not limited to:
~Wednesday night BINGO at the Sons of Norway
~Walking the boardwalk in downtown
~Coffee at Latte on your Way - I had to abandon Starbucks because they no longer have almond syrup but I am not bitter any more since it led me to a new local stand!
~ Dinner and a movie with my fiancé Ben here in town
~ Taking Ipa on a walk with Ben at night and seeing our town all lit up

And one future thing I can't wait for is getting married on Liberty Bay! We just couldn't do it any other way.

See our engagement photo! Downtown is our place.

Thank you Poulsbo for embracing me, please do the same for the next Miss Poulsbo and Miss Kitsap.

Thank you for loving me and encouraging me to pursue my dreams, please do that for the next Miss Poulsbo and Miss Kitsap.

Support them like you did us.
Give to them like you did us.

And it will be the most memorable year of her life, as it was mine!
