It seems that my professors decided to load this past week with hours of homework. On top of that, it was Bethel University's homecoming week. There were many late nights and my stress was elevated to a new level, but I manage to get through the week alive!
Friday night was Bethel's homecoming banquet. It was so much fun to just dress up and celebrate the end of a stressful week. The past week I've been feeling extra blessed and thankful that I get to be here at Bethel. I'm surrounded by such an incredible, Christ-driven community. I feel that God placed me here for a reason and I'm so grateful he did.
Saturday was probably one of the most busy days I've had in a while! I woke up at 5:30AM and was on the road by 7:30AM to head to Brainerd because it was also Brainerd's homecoming celebration. I was running on 4 hours of sleep but managed to stay awake the entire day (many thanks to coffee!). I was quite literally in Brainerd for 40 minutes for the parade (in the rain I might add) before heading back down to St. Paul because it was Bethel's homecoming football game against Augsburg. Dedicated? Yes. I drove nearly 4.5 hours for a 40 minute appearance but it was completely worth it. I promised to make the most of my year as Miss Brainerd Lakes, even if that meant sacrificing sleep!
The Bethel football game was an excited one as both Bethel and Augsburg are undefeated teams. Bethel walked away with the win in an exciting game! Proud to be a Royal :)
After the game, I had a few hours to grab dinner quick and get ready for the Miss Southern Valley and Miss Southern Valley's Outstanding Teen pageant in Lakeville, MN! It felt like I had been living out of my car on Saturday :) Hashtag queen probs!
Bethel ladies :)
Ladies from Brainerd :) that will make 4 ladies from Brainerd competing at Miss Minnesota this year!
This coming week will be another busy weekend as I will be walking in the Autism walk in support of Philip and the Yeh family as well as attending the Miss Northern Lakes/Bemidji and Miss Northern Lakes' Outstanding Teen pageant. It should be another fun weekend!
Blessings,
Bailey
