I want to thank Jackie and her daughter Melissa for their help!
I could not have done this with out you
gals!
All of these prelims are in preparation for the Ms Oregon US 1999 Pageant that I will compete in on February 27th.
My goal is not necessarily to win, but have fun! Not to mention I recently turned 'The Big 30' and I figure I have to do something
special to mark this milestone in my life.
Well, I did not win, But I had a lot of fun! A few of the other contestants and I have decided to make an annual event of this, and who knows, maybe some year one of us will win!
The winners for 1999 were:
1999 Ms. Oregon - Melody Mihevc from Eugene.
1st runner up - Mary Camblin-Nelson from Gresham.
(Mary has since became the 1999 Mrs. Oregon. Congratulations Mary!)
2nd runner up - Dena Armstrong from Salem.
Congeniality - Mary Camblin-Nelson from Gresham.
Volunteer Service award - Deanna Bebeau from Grants Pass.
I have not felt like competing this year, but I did get the chance to Judge the 1999 Gingerbread Holiday Prelim. Well someone talked me into competing in the Gingerbread State Pageant. Now thoughts of Gingerbread Nationals in Dallas, Texas are running through my head.
Gingerbread Nationals were a lot of fun! A great big THANK YOU! This past year has been an exciting one and it will be hard to give up my title. Well, I was right, giving up my Gingerbread title was very hard.

In December 1998 I competed in the Gingerbread Holiday Benefit Prelim Pageant.

It was a lot of fun!
I was crown CO-Divisional Queen, for women aged 21 and over.
I also won Photogenic in my age division.
Pageants are not just for "Supermodels" as I have found out first hand.
In January 1999 I participated in the Emerald Reign Valentines Prelim Pageant.
I was crown Divisional Queen, which included winning photogenic and portfolio in my age division.
In February 1999 I participated in the Gingerbread Valentines Prelim Pageant.
I was crown Divisional Queen.
and My awesome hair stylist Shay!
There were so many great contestants which made for some hard decisions!
I can't wait for the 2000 Gingerbread State Pageant, coming up March 31 - April 2, to see who will win.
If you are interested in the pageant email Barb, the Gingerbread Pageant Director, with your questions.
I entered the Ms. Elegant category, I ended up winning Oregon Overall Photogenic 2000.
I was shocked, I did not expect to win anything. All of the contestants were great!
Ms Anda sure knows how to throw a party.
And Mr Shane and Mr Michael made us all look beautiful. Love ya Mr Shane!!
to my pageant mom Tracy for getting up early to burn her hands putting hot rollers in my hair.
The best part of the whole week was watching everyone from Oregon and Washington crowned with a national title.
I am so proud of all the girls for working so hard.
And Oregon/Washington/California Directors Barb and Cindy were named Director of the year. 
And as much as I love representing Gingerbread, in 2001 I think I will stick to entering prelims and gain more stage confidence.
There was not a dry eye on stage which just added to an already emotional situation.
The Oregon/Washington Director, Barb, really does care for us all and I know it was just as hard for her.

I have been busy with a lot of things lately, taking care of my grandmother,
going to the races and looking for a job. So I have not had any time to go
to pageants, let alone, compete!
I really miss everyone and think of you all often!!
I look forward to seeing you all as soon as I am able!

I am currently studying Phlebotomy at Linn-Benton Community College, for those of you that don't know what that is, a phlebotomist is the person that draws your blood in the lab at your doctors office or at the hospital. I have heard that LBCC has the best Phlebotomy program and I am looking forward to graduating and starting a new career.
~Meanings~
Standing for what you believe in,
Regardless of the
odds against you,
and the pressure that tears at your resistance,
...means courage
Keeping a smile on your face,
When inside you
feel like dying,
For the sake of supporting others,
...means strength
Stopping at nothing,
And doing what's in your heart,
You know is
right,
...means determination
Doing more than is expected,
To
make another's life a little more bearable,
Without uttering a single
complaint,
...means compassion
Helping a friend in need,
No
matter the time or effort,
To the best of your ability,
...means loyalty
Giving more than you have,
And expecting nothing
But nothing in
return,
...means selflessness
Holding your head high,
And being
the best you know you can be
When life seems to fall apart at your feet,
Facing each difficulty with the confidence
That time will bring you
better tomorrow's,
And never giving up,
...means confidence.
