Busy Busy!

Well, I have been super busy this month with various appearances and volunteer work. Plus I have started training for the next marathon that I am going to do. Not to mention keeping up with the 16 units of school that I am taking. Geez! Lol.

Tomorrow is the annual MS walk and I absolutely can't wait!!! It's going to be a fun event and I am so happy to have the opportunity to support my platform and an organization that I truly feel connected to :)

Today though I am starting training to become a mentor for young girls. I am really excited about this, I have always wanted a little sister that I could be a positive influence for. It's going to be such a wonderful experience and hopefully a life changing experience for me and hopefully even more so for my mentee. I really hope that I can change her life for the better! I have already created a list of tons of things to do with her lol and I haven't even met her. I totally can't wait!!!!!

Just thought I would share....

On a personal note (I know this isn't Miss Bakersfield related lol)... But my boyfriend Ryan Gifford left for boot camp this past Monday for the Navy. So sad!!!! I will be flying to Chicago to see his graduation which will take place tentatively November 30. I am definitely going to be busy not only with school and Miss Bakersfield duties but also writing him lots of letters!! I would like to take a moment and thank those who join the military, not only does it take guts, dedication, and giving up a lot of their personal lives but it truly shows how much they truly love our country. Thank God for those brave enough to join! Good luck Ryan :) Just thought I would share a picture of us :)
