Seriously - I am the worst at actually keeping up with blogging!! However, I am pretty good at keeping up with all of my school work, and with all of my friends! Since I last posted in January SO VERY MUCH has happened - not just to me, but in the world around us! In Virginia in February we experienced a record breaking BLIZZARD - so much so that we lost an entire WEEK of school! In Loudoun county we are lucky and have enough days built in so we don't have to make up any days. Our area is still dealing with all of the damage. In February - on Valentine's Day I also participated in the Miss Virginia International Pageant and won the pre-teen title. Unfortunately the director had to move next year's pageant to October - so I don't get a full year - time to make the most of it! February was also a big birthday month in my house - mine was on the 3rd, my brother Alex had his on the 10th and my dad's was on the 11th. So then we move into March. I had the opportunity to ride in the Alexandria St. Patrick's Day parade with Elizabeth, a Virginia NAM Cover Girl. It was so much fun! In the car in front of us was Miss Alexandria (MAO) - Stephanie Connolly - a former NAM queen and in the car behind us was Delesia Watson - Miss Greater Springfield (MAO) and current NAM Miss for Virginia! I also had a great time working at the NAM Open Call in Reston with my sister queen Nyasha and Cover Girl Elizabeth. Next month I will help out at the Reston Workshop. March has been busy with school - writing tests, and DARE and picking classes for 6th grade. Yesterday I had my eye doctor appointment and I got contacts!!! My mom also had her birthday in March, but she says she wanted to ignore it this year. Spring finally got here and now we wait for the weather to get better! Right now we are on Spring Break. I hope to get to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms - tomorrow we're going to Baltimore.
