Alisha ASU"s homecoming queen

I am very pleased to say that yesterday Alisha was voted ASU's homecoming queen. It was a really fun day we had in Boone. We got to watch Alisha in a parade and then during halftime, Tom escorted her on the field along with the other candidates and they named the King and then they said "And this years homecoming queen from Whitehall, Alisha Burger!!!!" It was just like a movie. I dont think I will ever forget the feeling I had at watching her come and get a crown. She was so pretty and I watched on the big screen and she was so happy and beautiful. I watched her friends and boyfriend jump up for joy at her winning. I watched Sheila and Andrew scream and jump up with their friends and I watched Emily and cousin Molly run down with enthusiasm to congratulate her. It was very much a family time rooting on one of our own. I thought about it this morning. I wonder if that is how it will be when we get our crown in heaven. Will all those who are closest to us jump up and down and cheer? Will the crowd of people around us cheer us on? If it's anything like I saw yesterday it will be awesome. And I am sure this will be much more than a homecoming crown although it really is a homecoming crown if you think about it. We will be home forever!
After we left the game we went to Daniel Boone Inn with a few of Alisha's closest friends and our family. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and food. It was a day to remember. It was very special and I am never going to forget it. I know Alisha wont either.
