Thoughts and Prayers...

2010-07-12T07:29:00.000-05:00

On a Monday after 2 deadly plane crashes in which 6 men lost their lives, it makes one reflect on our own lives and how quickly it can be taken. It also makes me think of Dr. Veteto and how suddenly I man I admired and respected was also recently taken in a plane crash. I pray for these 6 families and that they find peace from this tragedy and that God will embrace them. Love your family today...

Lost Loved Ones to Diabetes?

2010-07-09T17:10:00.000-05:00

This is a great way to honor your loved one if you have lost them to diabetes. It is so neat to have a way to give back to the cause/research while keeping their memory alive. http://ping.fm/CYdJV

Happy July 4th!

2010-07-04T23:49:00.000-05:00

I hope you each had a chance to thank a veteran, past or present, for our freedom today. I hope you also had a chance to thank Jesus Christ, for our eternal freedom as that was also a price paid for us! I know I had such a blessed holiday with my family and friends and I hope you each did as well.

A thought for you...

2010-06-20T06:54:00.000-05:00

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell. ~Lance Armstrong

Family Fun!

2010-06-19T21:38:00.000-05:00

Nope! There is nothing more fun than the mall, husband to carry the sacks, my favorite Bourbon chicken and kids on a giant swing to make the best Friday night ever! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your family as well!

Just for Now..

2010-06-18T23:12:00.000-05:00

Hello to all my facebook friends, sponsors and family! Although the past couple of weeks have been very emotional and difficult to say the least, I have not been avoiding anyone, but simply trying to continue doing what I have forever loved to do…help others.

I have had the opportunity to do so many things recently that have made such an impact on my life, that it’s put all the important things back into prospective for me. Thank you to those who allowed me to be a part of the important things in YOUR lives.

As for my passion and platform...Nothing could stop me now! I’m more determined than ever to make the diabetes doggie a reality, continue raising funds for Tori’s Team and JDRF, and most importantly, my family.

As most of you already know, I made a very heart wrenching decision to resign my title of Mrs. Oklahoma International, and forward it onto Heidi Ducato, first runner up 2010, and I am sure she will represent Oklahoma proudly and I wish her the very best. I will continue my title as Mrs. Tulsa International 2010 and by no means will a title change impact what I am doing for and in my community.

I know so many have asked, and it has really been difficult to talk about for the past couple weeks, but with time and prayer, I know that God has bigger and better plans for my future. For all those who just want to know, “Why?” Well, the only thing I really feel at liberty to say is that with a true heart for what you believe in and determination to stay true to yourself and all those who support and care for you, you have to do what is right. Those who know me know I am not a quitter and I give everything I do my all. I wish I could express how much gratitude I have for each and every friend, family and supporter that I have had for the past 6 months, even before the crown was awarded to me. I am so grateful to everyone and am blessed to have had so many positive notes and messages since I have had to make this decision. My work will go on and for those who know me well, I believe you work hard, your earn it. I did that and am so proud of myself. Thank you for all your love and respect.

Speaking at Christ United Methodist in Tulsa!

2010-06-04T23:24:00.000-05:00

I was invited to come speak at Christ United Methodist in Tulsa on type 1 diabetes as well as women and heart disease and stroke.

Zebco's Fishing Day!

2010-06-01T20:21:00.000-05:00

For the 33rd year in a row, Tulsa-based Zebco - arguably the most famous brand in fishing - will stock 10,000 fish in LaFortune, Mohawk and Jenks' Veterans ponds. And this Saturday, any Tulsan who so desires can show up at these ponds and fish to their heart's content. It's all part of Zebco's Take Me Fishing Day.

The kicker? No fishing license is required. No, really. Plus, the fish are tagged and, when they're caught, they can be redeemed for prizes.

If you're like me and you love to fish, be sure to put this event on your calendar for this Saturday, June 5 from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Happy Memorial Day!

2010-05-31T19:03:00.000-05:00

We had a cookout to celebrate and honor those on Memorial Day. We even grilled Hannah's TURKEY! It was fantastic and friends and family were there to share in the experience as well. I couldn't help but think of all those who have lost loved ones in various ways. I think of my grandpa who has been gone almost 3 years. You are loved and missed papa.

Have a blessed day with loved ones...

MomRN Radio Show..

2010-05-03T17:40:00.000-05:00

Well, I was invited to to be a guest on the MomRN radio show live! Wow. That was a very cool experience and Lauri said I even talked slow. It again was live so I had no choice as no one was going to stop and ask me to repeat myself!

It was so neat to be able to spread my message to everyone who was listening and I hope if I only reached one person who will be more aware of the signs and symptoms, then it was worth it.

Judging the Sand Springs Talent Show!

2010-04-23T23:27:00.001-05:00

I was honored to be asked to be a 'celebrity' judge at the Sand Springs Talent Show. What? I'm sorry? A CELEBRITY judge? I am not getting the celebrity part....but they thought so and what a blast I had! Some amazing children who worked very hard and it was very hard to just pick one! Good thing I am NOT on American Idol.

From the heart of a child...(I found this and had to share)

2010-04-14T23:30:00.000-05:00

My daughter is 6 and has had a challenge dealing with a bullying problem at school. She has been as brave as a lion and very forgiving.

Give Me Your Love

When I look at you, you have a really big smile
But I don't.
You are pretty,
But I'm not.
Some of these people are friends
And that is friendship
But I know that other people are not kind and helpful.
They are bullies and I do not like it.
I have got an empty place in my heart.
I wish they were nice to me.
They have said sorry and are my friends now.
We like each other.

Hannah and her Turkey!

2010-04-07T20:49:00.000-05:00

Well, as most of you may know, my husband has a nationwide hunting show on the outdoor channel. He took Hannah hunting for 3 days (yep just Jax and I at home) and guess what?! She killed her first turkey. I am pretty sure Tim was ALMOST as proud then as he was the moment she was born. He said 'it's a dad thing babe' so I guess I will just take his word for it. Great job Hannah!

Happy Easter!

2010-04-05T22:49:00.000-05:00

Rooster Day Parade

As you saw on my events page, I was able to ride in the largest Rooster Day parade ever! In Oklahoma, you just NEVER know what you might see or get. Especially at the largest parade ever right? Well, this creative man puts a new spin on the word RECYCLE!

Let it begin!

2010-03-14T10:21:00.000-05:00

Let the whirlwind begin! I have always been classified as a 'busy' person. I would not change it for anything in the world! I love doing what I do, trying to make a difference, changing the state in which my children will grow up and making my family proud. Make a difference today...

My very dear friend, whom we have not missed many big events in each other's lives since the 8th grade, had to miss my state pageant. But, for a very good reason. She was having a BABY! Her 2nd beautiful baby girl, Carter was born March 2nd. I love you Jen and missed you at the pageant but you were in my thoughts and prayers and I know you were in spirit!

Welcome Carter!

Sleep?

2010-03-10T22:18:00.000-06:00

I have always been taught we each need our "beauty sleep" because our brains, body and soul need to have a chance to recoup from the day before" so I am wondering when after my amazing night, will I actually start to sleep? Well worth it..

Go Red Casting Call at Macy's!

2010-02-27T19:55:00.000-06:00

The Go Red Casting Call at Macys was an amazing event to find the next spokeswoman for the campaign. It was an 2 hour event where women came to Macys and told their stories of survival and how they have beaten heart disease. It was powerful and touching at the same time. These women have fought hard battles and won!

It was an honor to be a part of this event! Thank you to Macys!

Tonight was the Miss BA pageant. It was a beautiful event and all the girls were amazing. I am glad I was NOT a judge tonight. Michelle and I took 4 stunning girls of our own and they had a blast watching all the girls on stage.

Congrats to Leslie Armstrong on a job well done!

Go Red Day at the Capital!

2010-02-15T19:17:00.000-06:00

What an amazing day at the capital! I knew I belonged in the Senate and now it has been confirmed! It was very neat to be a part of such an important part of the International system as well as a part of my life, and that is Women's Heart Disease. OK is 50th in the nation for women's heart disease. We need to create a sense of urgency to change these stats!

It was an amazing day and I can not wait to be a part many more amazing things to come!

She won!

2010-02-14T23:48:00.000-06:00

Tori won her 1st pageant on Valentines Day! To make it better, I was working at the booth we have for the Go Red for Women at the Expo, where the pageant was so I got to see it all. She was so pretty and so happy. I hope I have her 'good luck win' going for me as well on March the 6th! Great job Tori. I am so proud!

Iceskating for Fun!

2010-01-12T20:38:00.001-06:00

Well, even in Tulsa we can ice skate, and the cold temps made it that much more fun actually! The BOK had their winter wonderland and the people were out in full force, but how much full to watch all the kiddos (and adults) on their ice skates (and bottoms often), all while listening to great music! It was a very neat event so I hope you each had an opportunity to get out and enjoy this great family opportunity!

Claremore Cheer Challenge

2009-12-21T21:56:00.000-06:00

Well, my girls had their last cheer competition of the season last Saturday! They have worked hard and as a coach, I could not be more proud! It is not easy coaching (especially for free) but I can say without any hesitation, that I have the best 3rd grade squad around! To prove that, they took 1st place at their competition!

A long day with a fantastic ending! Great job Tiger Cheer!

The 1st of many Christams's!

2009-12-20T21:51:00.000-06:00

Well, I had my first Christmas on Wednesday with my dad, step-mom, sister and nieces, nephew's and many others that it would be way too confusing to try to explain but that I love dearly! My dad and step-mom are going to visit my aunt in Florida (rough I know) so we had to have ours early! Olive Garden, wine and presents made it a fun and energetic evening! I love spending time with them all! With so much family in Oklahoma, we have many more to come. I am very blessed!

Reading and Fun!

2009-12-19T21:45:00.002-06:00

What a joy kids are to me! And being so animated, I love to read and believe kids should read as much as possible. On Friday, I got be a part of story ready and book exchanges at Immanuel Lutheran Christian Academy. The kids loved it and there is nothing better that seeing their faces when hearing us read stories to them. Thank you to ICLA for letting me share in the magic!

Angel Tree at Woodland

2009-12-15T22:03:00.000-06:00

Wow! What an amazing night! I went to Woodland to take MANY gifts we collected for the Angel Tree and it was so neat to hear the story I got to hear! First I want to say THANK YOU to Doug for helping me with many details on the Angel Tree, including bagging toys and arranging them.

When I was there about a week ago getting more angels for MY kids to shop for, there were still many families and kids needing adopting. I was so upset as I know we can only do so much. I carried that with me over the last few days, even though I know in my heart I do all I can. When I went tonight, I found out that American Airlines came in very recently and took ALL of the remaining angels and families to adopt! AWESOME and very generous. Thank you American Airlines and I truly hope many people are blessed this Christmas season.

God Bless!

2009-12-13T22:06:00.001-06:00

Wow! What a cold night, but an amazing night! First after a long battle with strep throat, (I have been well all fall and winter so I guess it was my turn) I finally feel like I am on the mend! So, yesterday we had our last cheer competition of the year. As the coach of an amazing squad, I was so proud to see them win 1st place! That in itself was a 9 hour day, then off to the parade to ride in a black Mercedes! I had the pleasure of having Hannah and Tori with me in the car and the AMAZING people of Tulsa and surrounding cities lining the streets to watch all the amazing floats! It was so neat to hear all the kids yelling sweet things to me and hear their little voices saying "Merry Christmas" over and over!

As a volunteer coach of youth sports and a volunteer for many other things, I want to say a big THANKS to Larry Fox, who helped put on the parade. He is a volunteer, not a paid worker. He did an amazing job and was VERY helpful in all he did to make this a huge success!

I hope you all got a chance to watch it from your WARM homes and you each have a wonderful Christmas!

Angel Tree for Diabetes!

2009-12-01T22:59:00.005-06:00

Hey All! I wanted to first stop and say THANK YOU so much to each and everyone to took the time to come to Vinny's and not only eat, but to bring a gift for our annual angel tree party. You truly are a blessing to Tori, Michelle, my family and myself. We still have counted the gifts,
as there are a few coming in Thursday evening from a couple of people who could not make it) so I will give you a final count when I get one. It looked as though we had about 25 or so though already! So, you can be confident that there will be some kids getting presents that may not have gotten them, thanks to YOU!

We also raised $250 for our "Team Tori". Thanks to Larry at Vinny's for his commitment (and patience) as we basically had the whole place for our party at one point! Thank you to EACH of you again for your time. I know it is a very busy time of the year so it truly meant a lot to me to have you each there!

God Bless,
Stephanie

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-11-25T21:32:00.003-06:00

I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! I truly hope everyone has a wonderful time spending the day with their families and friends. I am thankful for my husband and kiddos, and a day like Thanksgiving just reminds me more. I look forward to eating, football, then eating some more! Then maybe, just maybe, MOM can actually take a nap! Then off to the movies with our kids and friends for a Thanksgiving movies, (with the rest of Tulsa I am sure.)

So, again, God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all! I wanted to let you know I spoke with a friend of mine who helps with John 3:16. Her and I used to volunteer there with the youth in the area on Friday evenings. She asked me to share this:

John 3:16 is up 12% in the number of meals they are needing from last year. They are expected to feed thousands between Nov 24-28 and then they are expected to give out 5,500 turkey baskets to needy families!

They are asking for frozen turkeys and canned goods at the mission at 506 N. cheyenne ave from 7 am to 7 pm seven days a week or at the family and youth center at 2027 N cincinnati from 8 to 5 Monday-Friday. Starting on November 21 Under the Sun Garden Centers will accept the turkey donations as well.

Some of the local Walgreens is teaming up with the ADA for National Diabetes Month this month and offering free sugar checks as well as A1C checks! I went on Monday and I was 98! Alright! I spoke with the pharmacists and he said they have found what they think to be a type 1 through this process and several type 2's! wow! The next check is at Walgreens in BA on Thursday on 71st and Lynn Lane! 9-3 p.m.

The JDRF Christmas House was beautiful on Sunday, despite the rain! Santa was there in full gear and willing to hear all of the Christmas Wishes! People were scooping up the decorations for sale, which is helping to fund the cure for kiddos with diabetes! I hope you all had the chance to stop by!
