Waseca Marching Classic

What a weekend!! I had the honor of coming home to watch the Waseca Marching Jays as a proud alumni. If you haven't had the chance to check out the Waseca Marching Jays yet this year, I would highly recommend catching a show of theirs, it will blow you away! (especially because my baby sister queen is in it!) 

Check out Sadie's sweet uniform! (and the crown on her hat (: )

We started out the morning at the Marching Classic Parade. It was so much fun to see so many familiar faces on the parade route! Our Miss Waseca Sleigh Bell Princess and Miss South Central Princess got to join us too!

All of our signs took up the whole sleigh!

After the parade we headed over to watch last year's Miss MN and see Rebecca be crowned. I cannot wait for the opportunity to take my stand on the Miss MN stage! 

As part of our royal duties, we handed out water to all of the bands after they were done performing. Of course our goal of the day was to be hit on by the little band boys and our mission was accomplished! In between bands though we got a little restless and Ellie convinced all of us to play Ring around the Rosie with her!

You obviously can't say no to a face that cute!

It was overall a great weekend! I received news that I might be able to help out this week with homecoming at Waseca (fingers crossed!) But for now, I think I should take a nap!

We were obviously over worked.

Defeat of Jesse James Days

What a fun weekend!!! I got to spend Saturday night and Sunday afternoon with none other than my amazing sister queen, Lauren! I experienced my first ever rodeo (thankfully, we didn't have to participate!), witnessed the reenactment of the bank robbery, and rode in our first parade together (Huge thanks to Lori for finding a truck for us and cleaning it!!)! 

The rodeo was such a blast! I had no idea it would be so fun. We were able to meet the 2014 Defeat of Jesse James Days Ambassadors! (seriously, what sweet hearts!) And of course pet all of the animals! I'll admit that I got a little heart broken every time I saw a cowboy flip a baby cow on the ground...poor things looking so sad tied up on the ground. 

Lauren and I at the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo!

Sunday started out with brunch at Northfield High School! I was so surprised at the amount of royalty that came to celebrate! I even got to see Riley, a friend from Bethel who is also the Aquatennial Queen/Queen of the Lakes! 

Riley and I after brunch!

After brunch we headed to the bank robbery reenactment! I hadn't been there since I was a little girl, so I couldn't wait! Even better, we had the best seats in the house, right in front of the bank! 

Here is a couple gang members riding in.

I ended my weekend by going to see my all time favorite singer/song writer, Taylor Swift, with two of the best girls I know. It is safe to say that this weekend was one for the books. I can't wait for the Classic now in 2 weeks! 

Oh, I almost forgot! We also ran into the St. Paul Winter Carnival Royal Family!

They were such a hoot! I hope we get to go to this event too! (:

New School Year

Greetings to my lovely blog readers! 

This past few weeks have been crazy with the start of school! As a member of Bethel Student Association I had the opportunity to help with freshman move in! What an incredibly tiring week! (I made it in the welcome week video though!) Now that the first week is wrapping up, I have finally established some events for the year! I registered my BSA group to pack meals next month and my freshman floor soon also! I am so excited to spread my platform to such loving people. 

A few weeks ago I got to watch my baby sister queen rock her first field show at fall preview! Yay, Sadie!!! Unfortunately the picture we had taken together was way blurry :( 

I also learned that a good friend from school is running for Miss MN in the USA circuit! She has never done a pageant before so she asked if we could practice together :) LOVE THAT! 

That is all my updates for now! I will have so much more after all the events this weekend!
