This weekend was Rankin County's Junior Miss program. This is my second year to help with the program. I like it because I believe in what the program stands for. Girls are judged on physical fitness, talent, interview, scholastics, and self-expression, which is the onstage interview question, and are awarded scholarship money. There are no bathing suits, and it's really not about how pretty anyone is on the outside. See now how I was involved? I was Jackson County's Junior Miss in 1998, so I enjoy giving back to the program. I made so many great friends at the state program, and I still run into people all the time I met there. Of course, since I'm involved, I manage to drag Lee in the middle. He didn't mind too much last year, so I knew he would help this year. I did not know, however, until the day before the program, that he was going to have to dress "in costume!" The theme this year was Grease, and the directors decided that the backstage guys needed to wear the white tshirt and jeans and black shoes. I knew Lee would not be happy about this, but he reluctantly put on the goods. He was in charge of getting the piano out on the stage along with Smith Boykin and Jason Kackley. They did a GREAT job, and the girls loved them being in the wings. They made for lots of good laughs! What sweet guys...
After the program, we went to an engagement party in Bridgewater for our friends Kara Servov and Brady Davis. Kara is in grad school with me at MC, but she's also from Ocean Springs. We got to the party kinda late, but we had a really good time.
So it was a long weekend. We seemed to cram a lot of stuff in a little time. We went to church this morning and both came home and took a nap before going to small group tonite. What a fun weekend!
