Hi Sonja!
Thank you... yes, receiving the award was so amazing... the week that has gone by was spring break for me, and my parents took me to branson and eureka springs last weekend... and then when we got back i found out that the local searcy newspaper had an article about me and the others that went and our awards... that is so cool!!! i've never been in any newspapers in copenhagen!!!! :o) they hang it up on the bulletin board at church, and the secretary promised that i can have the article when she takes it down....
:o)

yes, i actually have my prom dress now!!!! its so exciting!!! :o) yesterday me and my mom went up to Little Rock to just look at some dresses, i wasn't going to by anything.... we went to this salon where my mom's friend works to ask her where to go to look for prom dresses.... she sent us on to a store called 'Jodie Marie's" where they have all of these wedding and formal wear. i looked at some dresses and tried on some different ones, and finally i had it narrowed down to 2. so i kept on changing between those 2 while the ladies that work at the store and the other mom's that were there to buy dresses for their daughters, gave their opinions on which one was looking the best on me. finally i made a decision, and i bought a dress. it is a true princess dress, and the best thing of it all is that it fits me PERFECTLY. it is so me! :o) of course that means that i cant lose OR gain wait between now and prom, so i have to be very careful. in the same store i found some earrings that match the pearls in my dress,and they gave them to me for free because i "knew" mrs debbie, my mom's friend. it was an totally awsome experience!!! and after we bought the dress we went back to the salon, and i got an appointment for the morning of the prom to come up there and get my hand and toe nails, makeup and hair done. its gonna be so much fun because i have never had alol of that stuff done before!!!! :o) im so excited!!! :o)

i have to finish now, we are going to church soon.... talk to you later, Sonja....
and again, thank you SO much for giving me this opportunity....
Greetings, Sonja
