Just for the fun of it....

I found these old pictures from when I was in the Miss Carbon County Pageant, 1981. Yes, 1981. I thought this might inspire me to get my body back, and I want it back bad...I don't think it will happen, though I will try to get close. This was before husband and kids. I was a senior in High School, as old as my youngest child now. hahahahahahahahahahaha.

This was the dance outfit for the group dance, opening number.

I did a dance for my talent, I danced to Xanadu by Olivia Newton John.

This was my dance costume. My dance teacher Mrs. Charlotte Young helped me choreograph my dance.

This was my evening gown. Here I am holding my trophy and bouquet of roses. I was crowned 2nd runner up. Here I am in my swim suit, still holding my trophy and roses. The store I worked for, Smith's Food and Drug King were my sponsors.
This was us in the opening number. I am on the right in the back.
Here are the 5 runner ups, I am second from the left. I could not believe I made it that far. I actually just tried out with my friend Dalina (girl on the right in the background) because she didn't want to try out alone. So I just did it for fun and had the time of my life.
Who would have guessed I would have made 2nd runner up. My family was all there and I remember my brother crying, he was so excited. I had a great year after that. I did alot of parades all over the state and got two scholorships for college. Oh the good old days.
