For work i am involved in a group called National Contract Management Association (NCMA)and we had a luncheon last Thursday with Jill Stevens, Miss Utah 2007. Aside from being beautiful she was an excellent speaker, a diverse person, and very friendly. She shared her experiences as she was in Afghanistan as a medic and she also shared her experiences as a pageant Queen. Both sides of her stories were excellent. She said she was the most tom-boyish person she knew and she wore boots not high heels. But thanks to a friend she was coerced into running for Miss SUU and she won. That is how she got involved in the pageant thing. She was part of the top 16 in the US and was voted "Americas Choice." She was just a really great person to talk with and had a great view on life as she related it to her military experience. Keep focused on your target, set new goals, try new things and you'll be able to hit your target most of the time. The experiences you gain will be invaluable and life's lessons just for you.

Ha! That's so funny! Marc knows her really well from SUU! I've also heard her speak on similar experiences, very inspiring!
Ralphie, what's up? Looks like you really did have fun on your cruise. Those pictures were amazing. I'm so jealous. Maybe someday I'll cruise it up. Sorry to hear about your grandma, but I'm happy for her as well--at least she is not in any pain any longer. : ) So Blue doesn't by chance know Buster does he? Too bad you and Buster haven't stayed in touch over the years--you could keep him in the backyard--he'd keep your grass down and Wyatt entertained all day. Well have fun! Sorry I haven't hit your blog for so long--i've been so blog lazy. : ) Ok, just lazy in general.
