Katie and Katie

Please pray for two of our favorite Katie's,
as they go on a long journey.

Katie LaRoche will be leaving Saturday
for a year long world travel adventure.
She will be representing One World One Future, which she founded.
One World One Future is an organization run by a group of ambitious women determined to help their brothers and sisters around the world that are unjustifiably facing a life of slavery.

Follow her adventures on www.oneworldonefuture.org

We pray for safety for Katie!


Our other special Katie was a Little Sweetheart Princess
at Miss Heart of Michigan this past February.

Katie will have open heart surgery the week of Thanksgiving.

You can follow Katie's journey on her blog.

We pray for God's healing hand over Katie and His peace for her family.

Prayers, please

I just received this email from Laura Bloomensaat.

I just wanted to let our pageant family know that Stephanie Frey, Miss Washtenaw 2008, and former Miss Kalamazoo, Shoreline and Lighthouse Coast was hospitalized this past weekend.
She has a brain tumor and will have surgery to remove it on Friday morning.

I will try to keep people posted as we know more.

Stephanie was First Runner Up for Miss Heart 2010.

If you would like to send Stephanie a card, her address is 11970 Jordan Rd, Saline MI 48176.

Please keep Stephanie and her family in our prayers.

Missy at Miss Michigan

Missy spent her first full day in Muskegon in rehearsals for Miss Michigan.

More rehearsals tomorrow!

We know she will have a great week!

Off to Muskegon

I will be in Muskegon on Saturday and Sunday
to get Missy checked in for Miss Michigan week.

Michael will arrive on Wednesday to watch the prelims.

Best of luck to Missy!

Off to Muskegon

Missy and I are on our way to Muskegon for Miss Lighthouse Coast Pageant and Miss Michigan Orientation. I look forward to spending time with Missy and seeing all of the Miss Heart ladies who will be competing at Miss Lighthouse. They were Runners Up at other pageants, so will get a chance to compete one more time for Miss Michigan.

I am so excited to be able to cheer for a bunch of contestants! It will be a fun evening and a great time with Missy.

Missy comes to Traverse City

What a busy two weeks it has been!
On Friday after Miss Heart, Missy drove to Traverse City for
a television interview on ABC 29 and 8,
then stopped downtown to visit all of the Miss Heart sponsors,
then came to the office for a few hours of official portraits,
then drove back home, all in one day!
This involves a four hour drive each way,
so we are so grateful that Missy was able to accomplish this for Miss Heart.

Missy did have some fun along the way!
The merchants were thrilled to see her,
the television interview went great
and we loved photographing her.
We cannot wait to get her back to Traverse City
for more portraits with her evening gown and more places to visit.

This is one of many favorite portraits of Missy.

Congratulations to Missy Brown!

Congratulations to Missy Brown, our new Miss Heart 2011!
Missy will be a wonderful addition to our new Heart family.

Every year, it gets better.
Every year, God sends us the most incredible young women.
They blew me away tonight!
Grace, charm, beauty, talent (amazing talent), it's all there!

We are so proud to be a part of this family and
so glad that we gained 19 more daughters.

Congratulations to all Miss Heart contestants!
