September 10-11: I spent the weekend reminiscing about my year as Mrs. Kentucky. I went through all my pictures from Mrs. America and from all my appearances. I picked out some of my favorites to use in this years program book. I also wrote my goodbye letter for the program book :(. This year has flown by but I have truely enjoyed every minute of it and know that I will forever have the memories from it!!

September 17: I was honored to be a judge at Grillin up a cure for Cystic Fibrosis in Glasgow. I brought my appetite with me. I judged bbq sauce, baked beans, pulled pork, pork shoulder and ribs......YUM!! Of course I wanted to contribute myself so I joined in on the festivities and tried the cake walk........ and I won!!!! I picked the most delicious cake; Hershey's Chocolate. It was incredible. My husband and my son also won at the cake walk so not only did I get my belly full of great bbq I also took home some yummy sweets. Thanks to Wendy White and Jamie Britt for inviting me to judge and help out such a great cause. I had a terrific time and a lot of money was raised.
