Can I just say that 2013 is turning into a TOTALLY AWESOME year?!

Wait, I think I said it.  *looks*  Yep.  I did.  I said it.

2013 is turning into a TOTALLY AWESOME year!!!!!!

I feel like I need to stick a party horn in everyone’s mouth and give them one of those party spinner noise maker thingies.

Okay.  So, as some of you who have been following along at home know, I made it into the 2013 calendar for The Naturist Society as Ms. May.

 I was asked to be a model, and a staff member, for Bare Necessities Big Nude Boat AND was asked to write for the Home Clothes Free blog on my experience.  (By the way – I was asked to join them again on the Nieuw Amsterdam in 2014 and I said…. YES!)

I was asked to write a story about being a “Naturist Model” for N Magazine – which was published!!!

Then…. THEN!!!!!  I found out Wednesday, that I had an image published on the ISLANDS Magazine Blog (Slide #1)!

AND – to top it all off… Keep your eyes peeled for possible image(s) in the October 2013 ISLANDS Magazine by the very charming, Shelly Strazis, of yours truly!!!   IN PRINT!  In a Nationally distributed travel magazine!!!!

Seriously, for all of these events I have to give a HUGE thank you to, Michael Cooney, the photographer who “made it all happen”.  I cannot thank that man enough (and he even ate GOAT at my house!!)

I have to also thank my parents for subscribing to National Geographic magazine.  All those “natives” were on to something and being naked isn’t shameful!

I have a HUGE grin plastered on my face.

I’m squealing.

Can you say, “Awesome?”
