Hello World!

I know it has been awhile since I have writen in this:) Hmmm lets see what are we up to? Eric is still working on his MBA. He would like to open a winery or meadery. Meadery is honey wine. I cant wait to share some of Eric's mead when we make it to the other side of the state.

Our kids are doing well. They have it really easy here:P I have pictures, so soon you will get to see them:) Lilly is a mommy's girl. She is always in the same room as me and always has to sleep on my chest. I have paw sized bruises:P Dre is getting frustrated. He wants to be outside, and has no problem meowing his opinion about it. Skit broke her box this weekend...she is a bit of a chunky girl and the box was small to begin with, so it was a matter of time. Eric fixed it, and we are not sure if she is happy with it or not:P

On To ME:P Work has been slow and very low on my hours. It was getting really tight without lessons, but with school starting back up, I will be having alot of my students come back:) Note to self, keep students through summer to cover low hours in the summer:P

June 4th and 5th I will be competing for the MRS. Iowa America tittle! Who knew I could still get to be an America Tittle holder! I was so excited for this!!! Its a bit different though:( I have an entrance fee of $550! That is alot. I am working to fundraise everything. I am doing well so far! Some of my voice and piano students have donated to me already! I will be having a jewlery party, and trying to think of more things. Let me know if you have any ideas. Once I raise $250.00 I will get a sash that says MRS. Dubuque on it:) I then can actually run around the state of Iowa as MRS. Dubuque.....I might have to use one of my crowns too:P So if there is an event that needs some spark or could help me with raising funds please let me know. I can use all the help I can get. Also any interview questions would be great! I have a long time, but practice will make me perfect! I have so many plans if I win, so keep your fingers crossed:)

I also have Facebook. ShareD0013@yahoo.com. I also have a fan page to the Miss Northeast Iowa pageant that I am on the board for. If you could take the time and look it up, and become a fan, that would be great! This is my first board I have gotten to be on, so I want to make a strong impression!

Thanks for reading the long post!
