This weekend I went on the Hass Family Vacation (my second family of which I have a few). I'm telling you, few of us having family vacations as crazy and fun-filled as they do...
Quick background: Heather and I went to college together where we became fast friends, not only living together but, throughout the years, traveling together. Inevitably, I met Heather's family and a mutual adoption took place, whereby they treated me like their fourth daughter and I now treat them like sisters, aunt and uncle. So, when the family made their trek to Muskegon to support Linaya, Heather's younger sister by only a couple years, in her run for Ms. Michigan, they remembered to bring a big troupe of supporters. I didn't get left behind...nor would I have let that happen.
In a later e-mail, when I get more pictures, I will spend time describing the crazy affair of beauty pagents and all that I learned and experienced. But, for the meantime, a foreshadowing...
I couldn't have been prouder of Linaya if she had been my "real" sister. This girl (correction: woman) is, if I could crudely say, "the shit"; this gal has so much going for her and she deserved every award that night. Her involvement with the Michigan crown, allowed me the opportunity to get closer than I probably ever will with the red carpet.
Thank you Linaya and the whole Hass family for a great weekend!

us behind the scenes with our celebrity all weekend.
Here she comes...down the red carpet. Her executive director by her side.
