On the Fourth of July I had the opportunity to be in the Idaho Falls Parade! Kevin Call was so generous, and let us use his car! My sister drove, and I think she was just as thrilled as I was! It was so fun to see everyone waving and saying "Look! It's Miss Outstanding Teen!" It was truly gratifying to see all of the smiles on everyone's faces! I couldn't stop smiling myself! My car was right behind Miss Idaho Falls, Kelsie Roper, and also Distinguished Young Women, Kristen Crofts! It was wonderful to be in the parade next to them and represent our amazing state!
