What a trip?!

What an amazing journey the last 6 months has been?! It is quite unbelievable for me to see the growth I have experienced over the last 7 months! I have enjoyed every moment of being Mrs. Bixby! I have been able to become an active member of the Bixby Rotary Club, the Bixby Optimist Club, the Bixby Chamber of Commerce and other outreach organizations throughout the Bixby/South Tulsa area! I have been able to meet and speak into the lives of many girls through my platform, Beautiful You, Inc. Some of my best friends are under 12! : ) I have definitely excelled in "on the spot" public speaking. That has taken a bit of work, but I have managed to lose the lip quiver and teeth chatter! : ) I have met some amazing mentors along the way; April Mary of Faccia Bella, Frankie Simmons-North of Frankies Girls, Libby Michelle, Mrs. California United States, Missy Briggeman, Mrs. Oklahoma America 2009, Sueanne Winn of Winn Wear Designs and many, many more. I have seen my immediate family and best friend, Erin Webb, come together to support and love me, and of course help me with my crazy brood of children. My extended family has donated time and money to my platform and my "adventure!" My friends, Life Group, church and community have surrounded me with love and support as well! Looking back at the past six months, I am proud of my accomplishments and feel like I was the best "me" I could be! I couldn't have been the best "me" without some very instrumental people! This title has been an amazing blessing to me! I daily thank God for giving me this amazing blessing. I pray that he will continue to stretch me in areas where I am not comfortable! After all, that's where His greatest work is done! Thank you to everyone, you know who you are, who has encouraged me with life giving words, given generously of your time and donations and to each and every one of you for believing in me! Being named Mrs. Oklahoma would be an amazing honor for anyone, but the best honor is serving Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!!!!
