Hi everyone and Happy Holidays!

Well, what a journey Texas Teen was. I had a blast that weekend and enjoyed competing so very much. I made some new friends and got to catch up with some old ones! I did not make the top 15 but am very proud of my performance and wouldn't change a thing I did. I am also very excited to say that my cousin queen Miss Waco, Arden, did make the top 15!! After this past year's journey through the USA system, I have learned alot about dedication, drive, determination, trust, faith, belief, true-friendship, and passion. After completing this Miss Texas Teen USA pageant I have concluded that I will no longer compete in the Teen USA system. This has nothing to do with my placement, it is purely a decision based on what I want my morals and values to stand for. I am NOT done competing though! I love pageantry and have a passion for it and am very excited to branch out and try new systems, and when time comes to announce my next pageant, you all will be the first to know!

Even though I am no longer a die-hard USA girl, I am still Miss Heart of Texas Teen and plan to make the most of my year! This past Saturday I participated in the Gatesville Christmas Parade and today I participated in the Temple Christmas Parade. I was lucky enough to share my ride with Miss Centralplex Teen and one of my very best friends, Tori Williams! We had a blast riding in these parades even if it was really cold!!

I am so excited about the Christmas season. This holiday spirit makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My family's tree is up and our stockings are hung. My little brother has already gone and told Santa Clause what he wants and he even can say that "Dra want sunglasses", which is exactly what I am asking Santa for Christmas!

Even though we are all in the Christmas spirit, I do have Mid-terms coming up next week. I am not particularly excited about that, but the Magic Belle Winter Show is Sunday and I am the emcee and that is very exciting!!

As Miss HOTT I have three events scheduled. The first being the Belton Christmas parade this Saturday which I will be riding in with Tori again! YAY!! The second one being the Waco Center for the Youth Christmas Party next Monday, the 13th, and on January the 7th I will be speaking to Tyler Elementary 5th grade girls about "The Importance of Being a G.I.R.L."! I am looking forward to both of these events very very much!!

Bunches of Love,
Kendra
