Long long ago, I was the Days of 47 1st Attendant. For a year I got to wear a crown and a formal, meet tons of new people, and ride on a float. Besides that I got an entire western ensemble with the cutest red cowboy boots, gave countless talks and played my flute more than my mother ever could have wished and I even got a scholarship. But more important than any of the fore mentioned things are the wonderful friendships that were forged with Jennie, the redheaded queen, Marie, the brunette second attendant and our classy advisor Janice. I am lucky that I got to know these lovely ladies.
Since I was the last of the 3 girls to get married and then have a baby, Marie and her mother were nice enough to throw a baby shower for me. It was wonderful to get together again and laugh and talk about our recent events. I can't believe how much has changed in each of our lives; yet I still feel the same....has it really been 9 years since "the queenery" was created? I loved my experience with Days of 47-"Utah, for the pioneer in all of us" and I love the queenery, plus our not so hired help...our mom's!
