Hello!!

This week has been so extremely busy!!! The first week of school + the first football game + the Hamilton Dove Fest Pageant = Fun week.

I am proud to say that I survived my first week of sophomore year, but there were many late nights. On Mondays the Belles practice until 5 and on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6. I do get Wednesdays off though. With being busy with Belles and being in all advanced courses, I pulled some late nights this week. In my Advanced Placement World History class, I had reading from the text book every single night and the book is the most boring, dry, and horrible book to read (the teacher even said so). In Spanish we started reading a story and I can tell I have been speaking English all summer. In spite of all the homework from all of my classes, I love all my teachers so far and it appears this is going to be a good year!!

On Friday, the Magic Belles left the school at 1pm to head to the Alamodome for the football game. What a wonderful experience. It was my first time to every get to be on the field during one of my high school's football games and I was on the field the whole time! Our football team did great and it was such a close game. Abilene would get ahead, then we would tie, then we would get ahead, and then to another tie, but in the end the score was Belton-27 and Abilene-36, but I am so proud of our boys for coming that close to defeating the reigning state champions!!! Our Belles did great for their first performance as well and will keep getting better and better every time!

Saturday, as I said in my previous blog, I would be helping out with the Hamilton's Dove Fest Pageant, but what I didn't say is that my helping was actually judging the pageant. It was so much fun to judge all 51 contestants ages 1 month to 18 years. I started of at 8 o'clock in the morning with interviews for the older girls and in the evening the girls competed in gown and onstage question. All of the girls would have been a great representatives but, I think the other two judges and I did a great job a picking some beautiful winners. I can't wait to help out next year!!

This Saturday though, I will be participating in the West Fest Parade before I leave for Houston!

This weekend is one of the biggest weekends in Texas pageantry-MISS TEXAS USA!!! I am soooooooooo excited to go and watch all of my friends compete for the title as well as see all the other teen titleholders there! It will be an exciting event and a great way to spend my Labor Day Weekend. I hope one of my favorites win!! Good luck to all of the contestants competing. I have seen the photos of the contestants and it is true that Texas has the most beautiful women!!

Have a wonderful week and hope to see you in Houston this weekend for Miss Texas USA!!

Bunches of love,
Kendra
