Mrs. Kentucky 2013

This has been a busy and fun-filled week for me. On Halloween I had the opportunity to hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters on my family’s pumpkin farm in Meade County, Kentucky. (www.robertsfamilyfarmky.com) It was a great turnout and I truly enjoyed seeing all the adorable kiddos dressed up! I had not been home since I won my title, so it was great to finally see my Dad and to see family and friends that I had not had the chance to see in a long time. I love going home- it truly is a great feeling being back in the country and being able to take in all the wonderful company while there.

Also, Halloween was my dog, DeSean’s, first birthday so we had to celebrate of course. If you know me, you know that I have never been a big pet person, but after getting him as a surprise for Ben on Christmas last year, I have fallen in love with him. Let’s just say he is extremely spoiled, but since we do not have kids, he is treated as if he is our only child. Love him!

On Saturday Ben and I both volunteered at the “Win a House Help a Child” home in Norton Commons. This home is valued at over $300,000 dollars and can be yours if you purchase a chance to win through November 17th! All the proceeds go towards the Kosair Children’s Hospital Foundation. Please check out this website for more information: www.kosairchildrens.com/homebmwraffle. We met many amazing people at this event and had fun trying to sell as many tickets as we could! Ben used his awesome sales skills and was a great help in this effort.

Also, speaking of the Norton Commons neighborhood, as of last weekend, we officially have land for our future home in this neighborhood. We have been looking forward to building there for a few years now and cannot believe our dream is finally coming true. This is such a wonderful and friendly place and we are so ready for this big change in our lives. Even DeSean will get something great out of the move- we found a new place for him to get groomed in this neighborhood. There is a premiere pet salon and boutique called “The Pet Station” and it is literally walking distance from where our new home will be. We actually found out that the owners are also originally from Meade County, so it is nice to know we will have some of our hometown folks in the area with us! Please check them out on Facebook or on their website: http://www.thepetstationinc.com. I hope everyone has a wonderful week- I can’t believe it is already November!!!
