I keep forgetting I have a blog! Woops...

So, here's a bunch of random "stuff" that has gone on in my life recently...

I'm SSSSOOOO excited! My first year of college is officially over! I took my last two finals today--speech and humaninites. I'm pretty sure I BOMBED the humanities...I just can't seem to get interested in art/music/history...oh well, though! As long as I pass the class, right?!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind...last weekend, my family and I went to Logan, WV to participate in a southern gospel singing contest that raised money for Dignity Hospice. Of the 30 groups and soloists, my family ("The Concords") received third place! We were thrilled! What made it even cooler was that afterwards, we got many bookings and the rep from the recording studio said he "needed to talk" with us. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get a singing contract! The recording company is a very nice and highly revered sudio out of Nashville, TN! My family has never made an album before, so we're all pretty stoked about it! Before I was born, my parents did travel and sing, though. They were a trio called "The Concords." They made records back-in-the-day, yet there's never been one with my parents AND mine and my sisters' pic on the front! So, the group of 3 went to a group of 5...

As most of us know, the spring forum was 2 weeks ago in Mansfield. Ashley said that the outstanding teen pageant will be a tough competition; the winner will be a deserving one! I can't wait to see who wins...unfortunately, I won't be at Miss Ohio =(...But, I'm sure the winner will be very deserving of that title, also! I can't wait to see who wins...

Unfortunately, I've been sick for about three days now, so I hope I get better fast! I hate being sick on weekends. I get to see my wonderful boyfriend on the weekends! He lives in Columbus b/c he goes to school @ DeVry University. He's going to be an electronic engineer. I'm so proud of him! He's the greatest guy! I always miss him, but my mom says that distance makes the heart grow fonder & stronger...which is totally true! It makes it very rough at times, but it makes the time together more special and exciting!

Well, now that you've read this random blog, I hope you all are doing great...getting ready for classes to end, getting ready for Miss Ohio, proms, finals, shopping...whatever you may have planned! For me, I'm going to try to find myself a part-time job for the summer so I can get $$$ for the dumb rising gas prices...and I want to save some for security! lol....Be back later...

CONGRATS!

I just have to say CONGRATS to the 6 new Sweeps winners! They are: Amy Allen, Kristy Moneysmith, Krystal Formosa, Katherine Wolford, Victoria Miller, & Courtney Kania! You all did great! Good luck at Miss Ohio! Wish you ALL could win!

Miss Georgia reigns two years...WOW!

I was looking at the pics of the Miss USA contestants and noticed a familiar face...Miss Georgia America 2006, Amanda Kosak, went on to Miss America last year and was honored as second runner-up to Miss America 2007, Lauren Nelson. On April 11, she will represent Georgia again. But this time, she will be on the Miss USA stage as Miss Georgia USA! I have to say this is quite an accomplishment! Good luck, although I don't think she needs much! =)
