Soup Mobile Christmas Extravaganza

I was so blessed to be able to volunteer at the Soup Mobile Christmas Extravaganza on Christmas Eve. This is my second time serving, and this event is by far one of my favorites to participate in. David Timothy, the creator of this event, devised a wonderful gift to the homeless community in the Dallas area. He gives 300-500 homeless a red carpet invitation for a free night stay in a hotel for Christmas Eve and Christmas day, and a banquet Christmas dinner. I met so many sweet men, women, and children. It's extremely heartbreaking that there were so many homeless young children in attendance. The title holders stood to greet the homeless, as well as escort the volunteers to where they needed to be. We then got to speak with many of the attendees during the dinner. I'm looking forward to next year, I will definitely volunteer again!
Hope everybody has a Merry Christmas!

MT Fundraiser, Winter Meeting, and Wardrobe Show

I had a pageant-y time last weekend. To start, on Saturday I attended the Miss Texas Fundraiser talent show, which featured many former titleholders with their array of abilities and talents! On Sunday, I attended the Miss Texas 2013 competition winter meeting, (very informative) I am ecstatic for the upcoming year!! Loved eating lunch at Paradise Cafe with my HUGE group of sister MFWO queens! After lunch I ended the day by going to the Miss Texas wardrobe show and send off party. Danae is going to be GORGEOUS at Miss America. I will definitely be there cheering her on!!

Dallas Police and Fire Pension Retiree Meeting

I absolutely loved being able to volunteer at the Police and Fire Pension System's retiree luncheon last weekend!! It is such an honor to serve those who risked their lives in the police and fire force for decades.
