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 :)
