Princess and Pirate Night at Chick-Fil-A

As a little girl you grow up watching Disney classics such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and The Little Mermaid. I think it is every little girls dream to become a Princess just like the ones she grew up watching on her favorite movies. Even though each of us is already a "Princess" or "Prince" I had the chance to dress up with other little girls and we got to act like the Royalty that we really are with dresses, crowns, and delicious food! On January 31st Chick-Fil-A had their Princess and Pirates at the American Fork. This was probably one of my favorite events! Seeing everyone dresses up whether it was in creative pirate costumes to the lovely princesses that i saw in their beautiful gowns it was a night to remember. Make sure to check out Chick-Fil-A's facebook page to get their weekly updates and events! Go to Facebook.com and type in Chick-Fil-A at American Fork!

VFW Christmas Party

Oh how I love the Veterans of Foreign Wars! They are the sweetest people you will ever meet!! I was lucky enough to get invited to their Christmas Party and oh how it was so much fun. It was held at the Golden Coral and we had the chance to hear from some amazing young writers, Denise with Letters to Soldiers, we got to see awards given and also had a good time singing some Christmas songs but what I loved most about attending this Christmas party was the love and care these people have for one another. While I was there I had the chance to sit by Commander Edwards daughter who's husband just returned home from Iraq and will be deployed again within the next few months. While I was explaining my platform for Miss American Fork and also for Miss Utah she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "I didn't think people cared anymore, but you proved me wrong" She expressed to me that although it is hard for the soldiers to leave their families it is even harder for those loved ones that are left at home. It brought tears to my eyes as I heard the things that her family had been through the past couple of years and how people really are forgetting that freedom isn't free. Someone, somewhere is paying the price for my freedom along with yours. The least we can do is show them that we care, and show our support and love for this wonderful gift they are giving us.

Wasatch Winds Symphonic Band

I was lucky enough to open for the Wasatch Winds Symphonic Band on December 6. Considering it is the Christmas season they did a lot of different Christmas song. My favorite one they did was an arrangement of all the popular Christmas song but they were all written in the opposite kex. I love going to these concerts because it reminds me of what an incredibly talented people we have living in American Fork. At the end of the concert Santa came up and directed the band but honestly did more dancing then directing. After the concert was over I had the chance to help Santa in passing out candy canes to all the good girls and boys.
