Pageant Progress

It is way past time for a new blog!  I have been very busy over the past two months working on raising money to cover all of the pageant expenses.  That is almost a full-time job!  Now that I have taken care of all of my deadlines, I will be able to focus on keeping my supporters updated!  I am now focusing all aspects of pageant preparation; working on hair and makeup, getting my wardrobe together, brushing up my interview skills, educating others about health and fitness (which I would be doing even if I wasn't in a pageant), and spending as much time as I can with my family!  This has been such an amazing adventure.  I have met so many wonderful women along the way.  I always had preconceived notions about what a 'pageant girl' was, and couldn't have been more wrong!  The women I have met are intelligent, generous, kind, and truly want to make a difference in the world around them.  I am honored to be associated with all of them!  This has been an experience that I never thought I would be a part of--but am so glad my supportive husband encouraged me to go for it!  Regardless of the outcome next month, I have grown so much and will definitely continue on this path.
