On April 14th, Manassas Assembly #13 went to Competitions. The Girls there were Katie, Sami, Isabella, Batu, M’Balu, Isabella, Alyssa, Gigi, Kate, Eliza, Dalanie, Zoey, Ella and myself. I ended up arriving late because of a tournament I had to attend beforehand, but I made it just in time for the Fidelity competition. I did three competitions: The Fidelity Lecture, the Rose Lecture, and the Dad Talk. Once I finished competing in all the events I was competing in, we all sat on our phones, and at one point, M’Balu and Batu were brushing Eliza and Isabella’s hair, and I joined in with them. It soon led to us doing each other’s hair and makeup, as Isabella and I had makeup with us. Eliza did a crown in my hair which looked amazing, and she also taught me how to do it, and I did her hair and makeup. Batu and I also did Zoey’s hair in cute space buns which were just adorable. I ended up staying there till about 6:30, and I got home at about 9. I had lots of fun, and I’m definitely competing next year!

On April 22nd, Dalanie, Isabella, Maribelle, Alyssa, Gigi, Sami, Katie, Kate Jazmyn, Joella and I helped with delivering a huge meal to the local fire station.  When we got there, there were only two firefighters at the station.  But as time passed, more arrived.  The Girls and I had to carry a lot of food up two flights of stairs.  Of course, as soon as we got to the station, Jazmyn and I were extremely curious as to the whereabouts of the fire pole.   Eventually one of the firefighters showed it to us.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was going to be the highlight of my day!  We took a lot of great pictures and I couldn’t believe how much fun I had that day. We then took one last picture with the firefighters and the day was over.

On April 22nd, I was in charge of organizing the Fire Station Meal to provide the firefighters with a meal as a way of saying thanks for all that they do for the community. We arrived at the Lodge at noon and gathered all the food that everyone donated.  Most of it was just repackaged to be sent over and there were five of us working in the kitchen while the rest of the Girls worked on the Adopt-a-Spot event scheduled for the same time.  The girls working in the kitchen were:  Kate, Dalanie, Maribel, Gigi and me.  Once we were done with what we could do, we worked on the Assembly scrapbook until the pasta was all cooked, and then we delivered the meal to the firefighters. We got to go in and deliver the meal to their kitchen which is upstairs in the firehouse.  I was surprised at the security in place.  We were able to see the pole that they slide down in emergencies and we got a picture in front of the fire station with some of the firefighters.  They invited us back to get a full tour at a later date so we could see everything that they do, and I hope that we can go sometime since it looks like a lot of fun.
