Stage Coach Theater and "A Christmas Twist" Red Carpet Event

On November 28, I was asked to MC an event for the Stage Coach Theater's opening premier of "A Christmas Twist." I happily accepted :-) The theme for the premier was red carpet/Hollywood style, the actors arrived in a loaded Audi, dropped off at the door by their "driver" and were whisked into the building via red carpet! I was there to introduce and interview them as they made it through! All the actors/actresses didn't know what questions they were going to be asked and each one did a phenomenal job of answering them perfectly! From there, they went off to the dressing room and got ready to do what they do best, act, in this funny Christmas themed play. I was able to go up on stage and introduce the Director and the play itself! This was such a fun event and I really enjoyed myself!

Here are some of the things that were said about how I did for the evening:

Don Walker: Again, thank you so much for coming to the theatre last night. You did a great job and it made the evening much more special. Hope to see you at our theatre again.


Ian Price Taylor: Let me chime in and say thanks, again, for making us all feel like stars last night! It was great to have you come and add some snazzy class to the event!

Idaho Steelheads with Protect Idaho Kids

I was asked to participate with Protect Idaho Kids for the Idaho Steelheads game on November 12 and 13, 2010. At Protect Idaho Kids they raise awareness on the rescourses that are already here and available for the state of Idaho such as the 211 line (pick up any phone, dial 211, and get any answers your looking for in terms of parenting and most other issues with families including counseling services, information on where to go and even class schedules for those who seek to improve). We were able to help spread the message to everyone about helping keep our kids safe here in Idaho and I got to drop the first puck as well as ride on the Zamboni! What an amazing couple of evenings! Also picutred is Miss Outstanding Teen Western Idaho, 2010, Ashley Stultz. She's a doll!

Governor's Brightest Star Awards Ceremony

On November 10, I got to volunteer for the Governor's Brightest Star Ceremony which honors and recognizes volunteerism in the state of Idaho.

The tradition of recognizing Idaho’s outstanding volunteers has carried on through the Risch and Otter administrations. Since its inception, more than 500 individuals and groups have been recognized as Governor’s Brightest Stars.

These everyday heroes come from every corner of the State, representing large and small communities. They truly are Idaho's Brightest Stars!

All of the nominees who meet the minimum qualifications are recognized at the annual Governor’s Brightest Star Awards Ceremony. Citizen review panels traditionally assist the Governor and First Lady in identifying those who will be featured during the Governor’s Brightest Star Awards Ceremony.

The Governor and First Lady present an award for the Governor’s Brightest Star - Volunteer of the Year in each nomination category and feature a variety of other honorees during the ceremony.

Veteran's Day Parade

The Veteran's Day Parade was a huge success on November 7! I enjoyed riding in a Corvette provided by the local corvette club! The driving was extremely kind and gracious. A HUGE "thank you!!!" to our Vet's who have served past and present, if it wasn't for them, freedom wouldn't be free for us. I was honored to be a part of the parade and feel blessed that there are those who place their lives above mine so I can be free. Picture is from the Idaho Statesman.

Wishing Star Foundation

On November 4, I was invited to a Wishing Star Foundation benefit breakfast where I MC'd for the morning. They are an amazing organization! They are wish makers in real life form!! Wishing Star's mission statement is to provide kids with hope through uplifting and rejuvenating experiences refocusing on the joys of life, to provide lasting support and memories for wish families, to treat families and associates with dignity and protect their privacy, and to inspire greater community participation in fulfilling Wishing Star's Mission. They are able to grant children wishes that are diagnosed with terminal or medical issues from ages 3 to 21. Pictured with Mandy Wood from ICON Credit Union (a sponsor the the organization) and Tracy Shaw (the director for the local Wishing Star) What a phenomenal organization!

November 2, election night, GOP!

I celebrated with the local GOP for Election night on Nov. 2, 2010 and had such an AMAZING time! Most of the candidates I voted for won, so that was really exciting to see them all again and catch up on the campaign trail and how things have gone with them. Such a fun night and my husband enjoyed it more than I did!!!

Photo Shoot

On October 30, 2010, I also got the opportunity to do a photoshoot for the upcoming pageant! We went all over Boise shooting! My favorite spot was at the State Capital where First Lady Otter was handing out candy for the trick or treaters.

Pumpkin Patch!

I was invited by my 6 year old, Madison, to attend her school's pumpkin patch field trip on October 22, 1010! They had such a blast, I was able to have a small group of kids and enjoy their company being a chaperone all day! We had a great time picking pumpkins, playing in corn, jumping on the HUGE pillow, riding in a cow ride and lots more! Thanks to Whitney Elementary for allowing me to be a part of such a fun filled day!

Pageant workshop

I got to meet all the beautiful women who will be competing for the Mrs. Idaho America title on February 12, 2011! We got to do mock interviews, learn about how to be the best we can be in the pageant atmosphere and learn many pageant secrets. It was a blast and am looking forward to seeing all these women and then some in February!
