The Queen has Won!

In February the Bishop asked me to make our ward float for the Lehi parade. In Lehi it's a big deal to make the ward float and win. The pressure was on. Last year I helped on the committee and I didn't win. Let's just say...I like to win. So of course I said yes to the calling, (because you are suppose to always say yes to callings even if your husband says no!) and the planning started. I spent months planning and preparing and made over 3000 hand made pom poms. Cuz Lehi judges like pom poms. Let me tell ya that these are soooo time consuming and not fun. I never want to see a pom pom again. My friend Ryan made the truck and Jessie made over 32 costumes and others help with all the extras. We were judged on Friday day for the look and friday night for how we put on the production. On friday night at 10:30 the bishop arrived and let me know that I won SWEEPSTAKES. I won out of 41 floats. BIG DEAL IN LEHI! On saturday morning we had to be first in line to show the big parade our winning float. I couldn't resist the excitement. I grabbed a crown off of a beauty queens head and put it on. It felt just like old times. Just teasing. It was a lot of work but soooo worth the trophy! And Yes.....I would do it again!!!
