Habitat for Humanity- Owatonna and Waseca

This last week, I had the opportunity to partner with the Owatonna and Waseca chapter of Habitat for Humanity.  Karin (the Executive Director) was very happy to have me be apart of her team.  I will be helping her with fundraising, news letters and Habitat family involvement around the community. I am looking forwad to planning a Habitat 5K Run/walk in the spring and can't wait to volunteer around the area!

Thanks again to Karin and the Habitat volunteers in the Owatonna and Waseca area!!

Morris Annual Craft Show!

(Nov 26th) 



Last weekend, I had such a wonderful time with Miss Morris and Miss Morris Ambassador at the annual craft show in Morris, MN.   We had a good turn out and had lots of fun serving BBQs and bars to the community.  I want to thank our directors for putting together everything and for the wonderful weekend we had together.  It was so nice to be back in Morris to see you community and people.  I always have a great time and I never get tired of the home cooked meals.  Thanks again for your support and again, I am very happy to be back in Minnesota!

Thanks everyone and God bless!

Celebrating Thanksgiving!






Back in Minnesota!

Miss Midwest is back in Minnesota!

I am finally done with my student teaching experience.  I had such a wonderful time in Texas, volunteering around the communities and speaking to students at the schools.  Texas really opened my up to new opportunites I have never experiences before and the people were so welcoming.  I am so happy to become a teacher and I can't wait to have my own classroom. Thanks again to my wonderful teachers back in Houston, you have taught me so much!


Happy Thanksgiving! Being thankful for all we have :)



Happpy thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving weekend... make sure to give thanks to your family and friends for all they do during the holidays! We should be thankful everyday for all the things we have, food to eat, clothes to wear and a home to live in.  You never truly understand how greatful we should be, untill you have seen one of the poorest countries in the world!

I want to thank all my family and friends for everything they have done over the past few years and for the support they have provided me with. I would not be the person I am today with out their help and support!

Thanks again and god bless everyone and their families!
