This is either really good or really bad: June 2011

After finishing STI I got to return to Alabama. For the people who don't know what I am talking about. Last year I competed in a scholarship program by the name of America's Jr. Miss. I was Montana's Jr. Miss for 2010 and I headed to nationals in Mobile, Alabama. While I was there the program announced a huge change. The program went from being named America's Jr. Miss to Distinguished Young Women of America. Anyway...This program is amazing, I have met some of the most amazing girls from all across the country as well as earn scholarship to pay for college. But last August I gave up my title and became a Has Been. But the best part is I gave my title up to my baby sister Amanda. So this June I got to go to Alabama to watch her compete at nationals. And can I just say she whooped some serious booty. She won 2 national awards. One was an essay contest awards thingy and the other was an Interview award, which is UBER AWESOME!!! And she looked so awesome on stage. Take a look.....

SHE IS SO PRETTY!!!!!! but everyone person we stopped and talked to said that she is the funniest person EVER. well I don't doubt it. Amanda is one heck of a gal. And she made not only myself but the whole state of Montana awfully proud. It was so cool to come back, Now this program always allows the girls from the previous year to come back and participate in what is known as the Has Been show. But you have to be there on a certain date and I couldn't due to me being at STI and all. Which is fine! So instead of being in the has been show I got to watch as 12 of my AJM class performed to reworded Mary Poppins music. They were so fun and made me so happy!!

As you can already see there are so many great things about being in Alabama, but without a doubt the best. THE BEST!!!! is the Thornton family. They were my host family for my two weeks last year. They spoiled me rotten and made me feel right at home. Mommy Sherrie, Dad Aj, and my sisters Erin and Emily. They are soooooo awesome. So while I was there I had so much fun hanging out at there house one afternoon. So we played us some Just Dance2, I had never played it and lets just I probably shouldn't. :) But this family is the greatest and I am so lucky. I just love them!!!
