Miss North Carolina Teen USA

The first weekend in November, I was able to make a special trip to North Carolina. Brittney, one of our students from Gorman, and one of my sweet friends, was in the Miss NC Teen USA pageant. I flew down for the weekend and surprised her! It was great to be there to support her. I enjoyed a couple of days with the Gann family and Chelsie. I was also able to see some of my family while I was there. My cousin, Britni, was also in the pageant. It was a blessing to be able to get away for a few days and to spend some time with special friends!

The Ganns

I love this girl! She is amazing and I am so thankful for her friendship.
She is truly a blessing in my life and is the little sister I never had!

These girls are the best! I am so thankful for them!

I also had the chance to meet Leigh Ann and Kellie in Winston for lunch.
Kellie brought Ian with her. He is such a cutie! Loved getting to seeing these dear friends!

My sweet friends!
