Spring Fashions Show at the Karcher mall. Nampa Idaho


I had to take back a black and white pokadot dress I had bought and replace it with this one. Not only was it much cuter but it will make a memory in my heart each time I where it.
I was so happy I was able to wear BSU gear. They are my favorite team and I have fallen hard for the first time in my life for a football team.

Karcher Mall is one of my Sponsors. I felt so blessed after the manager at Karcher heard my story on having diabetes and now being an advocate asked if she could have a fashion show a few weeks before the pageant. I was tickled to say yes.
I called our director to talk about it and it was a big YES! One of my favorite things to do about 20 yrs ago was to do runway modeling. I realize this puts my age out there but I don't mind saying I am almost 42. I have always loved being on stage.
Having many opportunities since age 12 to do runway I found it to be something I really enjoyed. Having my kids at the fashion show was another plus. They have heard about that part of my life and have seen pictures. To see first hand my 3 kids smiling at me as I smiled back was priceless. My husband Ron enjoyed the fashion show also as I married him after I hung up my dancing and modeling shoes and became a medical assistant for a OBGYN Dr. It was a great day. At the end I was able to thank everyone for coming and talk a little about how diabetes has touched my life. Thank you Karcher Mall, Pro-Image, Burlington Coat factory and Christopher and Banks for having us apart of the fun.
