Appearances and Motivation.

Today was another awesome day.

We started out at the Navy Pier, to get on the speed boat, the Sea Dog. SOO fun. What an experience.

Then it was on to the Museum of contemporary Art. Very... Interesting.

Then to the Boys and Girls Club. Soo amazing. Those kids were the SWEETEST thing since chocolate. We had lunch and visited with them all.

We then had a break, and then to rehearsals!! Such amazing people I will be working with this week. I am more amazed everyday by the outpour of love and caring, instead of the nastiness and cattiness. We are all such good friends already. Love me some Teen Nevada!

I also FINALLY met my Miss Oklahoma, Anne Marie Costello. She is such a sweet heart, and I know she will do fabulous this week!!

Tomorrow are the interviews, and mine will be at 1. Keep me in your thoughts, and if you pray, please put me in those to.

God, I ask you to give me the words to speak to the judges tomorrow, to show them my passion and to show them me. Give me the words to show them that if they chose me, I would make them so proud.

Orientation for Miss Teen International 2010

Hello everyone! This wont be a very long update, but I just wanted to share a couple things.

First, Thanks for all the well-wishes! I am going to do my best to make you all proud this week!

Second, Congratulations to Mrs. Oklahoma Heidi Ducato on being the 1st runner up for the Mrs International pageant last week. That is quite an honor, because EVERY woman competeing in this system is a strong contender.

Third, I will be trying to keep you updated on our adventures throughout the week. It's going to be VERY hectic, so forgive me if they arent very long!

We just got out of orientation and are finished with the activities for the evening. We will have breakfast from 7-8 in the morning then its off to board the bus for the Navy Pier. Should be an awesome day!!

I already met some GREAT girls this evening. I would hate to be a judge because there are so many girls here that are just fabulous. However, I do hope that I will impress the judges enough that they choose me!! :)

Lovee ALWAYS!
