Merry Christmas everyone! I know I'm a few days early, but merry Christmas anyway:) I love this time of year because it reminds me of how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family when so many others are left alone during the holidays. My thoughts are especially with all of our military personnel who are away from their families this year. I know what it is like to be away from home during the holidays and it is not easy to call home and here your family partaking in Christmas traditions without you! But if anything, it makes you appreciate the love and happiness family can give.
I was thinking back the other day to June when I first won the crown of Miss Maine and I remember thinking that I had plenty of time to prepare for Miss America, but now, it's almost January and I have just under a month before I have to leave for Vegas! Time flies but I do feel like I am ready for the challenge! The dress shop Moda Bella has been extremely helpful in my preparations. The owner, Diane Tucker, was so amazing and gave me two dresses for free to help complete my wardrobe. I am completely indebted to her and her kindness, talk about the Christmas spirit! The two cocktail dresses are fabulous and I highly recommend heading up to Moda Bella in Gardiner for all your fashion needs! Another shop called Simply You Too in Saco donated four outfits to me for Vegas! One in particular is great, I walked out of the dressing room wondering where my motorcycle was! I looked like a biker chick. Ha! But it will be a fun outfit to wear in Vegas. Thanks to Simply You Too!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish all of you the peace and love and a wondeful new year!
God Bless,
Susie

ReplyDeleteWe wish you crazy success at Miss America!
Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on an apparently wonderful 2009 for you. And I pray you have a blessed and joyful 2010.
I, also, have spent much of my recent life working overseas including 1 year as a volunteer physician at a clinic in far SW Ethiopia. I wish now to return to Addis Ababa within the next few months and work at one or both of the Missionaries of Charity hospitals there in Addis. I was able to spend 2 weeks at the adult hospital in 2005, but want to go back for a much longer period this time.
I imagine you are incredibly busy, but could you please take a minute to give me some contact information for the Missionaries of Charity in Addis. I will be forever grateful!

My God continue to bless you and your family,
Ken Sproul
