Taylor was destined to receive the honor!

Grandma used to talk about “Red Letter” Days. These are the days that really stand out above and beyond the rest and are usually few and far between. When a Red Letter Day occurs, you NEVER want it to be over. Taylor was able to experience one of these – actually a Red Letter Weekend!

After dealing with a tremendous amount of huge butterflies in her stomach prior to half time of the football game, she found out her peers voted her the 2012 E-M Homecoming Queen. I was so surprised and happy for her! She was convinced she probably wouldn’t win and was extremely happy to have just been nominated as part of the Homecoming Court.

I can’t take credit for this lovely picture (thanks Dawn) but I wanted to use it because she captured Taylor’s personality perfectly!

As a young woman, who doesn’t want to be voted Homecoming Queen? I can still remember who my senior class voted as our Homecoming King and Queen. For our family, this is the third Zeorian nominated by their peers to represent their school’s Homecoming Royalty Court.  Jamie was nominated in 2003/2004 and Jenna was nominated in 2005/2006. The year Jamie was to stand up as one of the chosen, she had to bow out for her bestest harvest friend’s wedding. She was Maid of Honor. Jenna was able to stand up with the rest of the Royalty on the ball field and accept her crown and roses. And now…Taylor. I’m pretty proud to say I’m the mom! Congratulations, Taylor! It was definitely YOUR weekend to shine!

The whole Z crew!

Taylor’s last Homecoming dance and Callie’s first.

No dates for either girl so they took turns putting on each other’s corsage. 🙂

Yes, she really did wear her tiara in McDonald’s – and Walmart!

The weekend brought one more “Red Letter” Day memory. Jamie and Curt made it official:

Our family is growing by one more in April. I CAN’T WAIT!
