Celebrating with Friends and Judging an DE MAO Local Pageant

CONGRATULATIONS
Mrs. Susan Huntley is now

Susan R. Huntley, Esquire!

On October 9, 2007 - I turn 30!

We had a girls night out to celebrate on October 6, 2007! I consider myself SO LUCKY to have such a fabulous group of friends!

Our get-togethers usually have a purpose in addition to just having fun together :-) During this night out, we had a candle party to raise scholarship funds for AAUW (American Association of University Women - an organization that Susan belongs to).

On September 30, 2007, Ellie Teeson (Mrs. Kent County, Delaware, United States) and I judged Miss Brandywine and Miss Mid-Atlantic. We had a wonderful time and were very, very impressed with the contestants. We missed getting a photo with the beautiful Miss Mid-Atlantic (she was off celebrating - and who could blame her!). Miss Brandywine was very gracious and a talented dancer.

Annapolis Walk for Her

After Richmond, VA, we drove back to Bowie, MD, picked up my car, then drove to a wonderful hotel in Annapolis, MD.

After a great dinner, we fell into bed!

The next morning, Ellie joined us for the breast and ovarian cancer walk in Annapolis!

We treated ourselves to lunch after the walk. Lunch was eaten while overlooking the water on Kent Island (we got out of Annapolis because it was so crowded and parking was a nightmare!). My mother's friend, Aunt Barbara, came and picked me up for a boat ride after lunch, while Kim, Mary, and Ellie got an early start home.



Here are the scrapbook pages that I created with photos from our adventures:

McGuire Hospital Visit in Richmond, VA

What a day, what a weekend!!

On September 22, 2007, I drove to Bowie, MD and met up with Kim and Mary. From Bowie, MD, Kim, Mary, and I rode in Kim's car to Richmond, VA, to the McGuire VA Hospital.

We visited with many patients on the spinal cord injury unit and enjoyed a lovely lunch/dinner courtesy of Chick Fil A (gosh I LOVE their sandwiches).

The best part of the day was seeing the smiles on the faces of wounded soldiers. These great men and women give so much, the least we can do is say THANK YOU!

Here are my scrapbook pages from our day:
