A TOTAL OF 900 SHOES COLLECTED!
Thank you to my wonderful community for donating 900 shoes to Soles4Souls! These shoes are going to help Haiti, Nashville flood victims and others who are in need.
Last Wednesday my dad loaded up the truck and sent Mom and I on our way to Nashville to the Soles4Souls warehouse. It was a rewarding experience to see so many shoes that people have donated to help others. Soles4Souls has been hosting drives and delivering shoes and bottled water to Nashville flood victims this week. I can’t show enough appreciation for organizations like this that are bettering our communities. These organizations couldn’t do it without volunteers like you, so thank you again!
There just happened to be a shopping center close to the warehouse so Mom and I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping for Miss Tennessee gear. It was a very productive and rewarding day. Here are a few pictures!

Emily, youngest child of mine! I'm so proud of you, not only for the Miss Tennessee endeavor, but for the person you are. We love you and know you will do well in Jackson. It doesn't matter if you bring home the crown, what matters is that you have strength, integrity, determination and have a wonderful life ahead of you. Love, Mom

Emily, Know that I have thought of you quite a few times the past week. I knew the time was near for the competition. You have been very involved and worked tirelessly to prepare. Therefore, ENJOY YOUR MOMENT IN TIME! I pray that God will guide and give you peace as you participate in the pageant. Wish I could be there to cheet you on! As to dieting, girl... you look fabulous and don't forget it!
