Hi!!

Well, I have been so extremely busy these past two weeks. Texas Teen is only 7 weeks away...can you believe it??? I know I am getting super excited!

On October 2nd my mother and I traveled up to Houston to participate in Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure for "Team Miss Texas USA". Not only was it a blast, it was an honor to be part of such an amazing cause. Miss Houston Teen, Hannah, and Miss Bay Area Teen, Raigen, were there as well as Hannah Kirkland, a TX Teen contestant. It was great to see all these girls and to get to bond with my mom while doing the walk.

That following Tuesday, the 5th, I participated in the Heart O' Texas Fair & Rodeo Parade. I rode in my truck with Mandy, Miss US Intercontinental!!! She is such a sweet woman and one of my biggest mentors in pageantry. We had a HUGE bag of candy to start the parade off with and about three-fourths of the way through the parade, we were totally out of candy. At that point, Mandy and I just smiled and waved at all the people.

On the 4th, I went to the Military Family Night hosted by the Belton Chamber of Commerce as a member of Student2Student (S2S). It was awesome to hear all of the people in Belton welcome some the bravest men and women in our country and their families into our communities. I sure do appreciate everything they do!!

Then, this past Friday, the 8th, I spoke about the "Importance of Being a G.I.R.L." I went to Leon Heights which is a Belton Elementary School, and since I am a Belton Tiger, it was really neat. The 5th grade girls were awesome and left the room all saying, "Glamorous Individual Respecting Life". I can't wait to speak to more schools!!

This coming up Saturday I will be participating in Susan G. Koman for the Cure Dallas with the Miss Dallas/Miss Ft. Worth Pageant Group! I can't wait to do it again!!

Coming up this week in school is homecoming week!!!! Tuesday is Nerd Day, Wednesday we take the PSAT (so no theme), Thursday is Camo Day, and Friday is Spirit Day!! I'm so excited to get to dress up and participate in the homecoming activities (like the carnival and burning of the "B" on Thursday evening and of course the big game on Friday!! GO TIGERS... BEAT THE wildcats!!!

Bunches of Love,
Kendra
