Having Dreams and Setting Goals...

That was the theme for our visit with the girls at Lost and Found Residential Facility this week. It was powerful to share our stories (Tricia Dampier, State Director and Julie Nutter, Mrs. Foothills 2006, also participated) and to listen deeply to the girls' stories.

How amazing these girls are! We talked about dreams and the difference between a "wish" and a "goal." It was amazing to hear teenage girls talk about the meaning of each word and the specific goals that they personally want achieve.

It was fun to see each of the girls' faces light up when I crowned them!

Royal Baby Shower

Mrs. Colorado's got together to celebrate the coming of Baby Boy Stark (James and Emily Stark, Mrs. Colorado 2002). It was great to visit and laugh with all. The husbands took the title of "Guesstures Champs." But that title will be short lived, as we'll all need to get together soon to redeem ourselves! :-)

Families First Country Fair at the Denver Zoo

Despite the rain, we had a nice time at the Families First Country Fair Sunday, July 9th. Owen led Scott around the zoo, while I played host to families dining and participating in the silent auction. Owen and I posed for a quick photo before venturing outdoors with our umbrella!
