As I write my first posting on this site, I am thinking about how quickly this week has gone by. There is a lot of preparation that goes into getting ready for a pageant, but wow is it a whirlwind after! A lot of exciting things have happened already since being crowned on Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning I had a fantastic breakfast with the judges and the director. It was hosted at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Newberry. The table was set with lovely crisp white linens and china. The crystal compotes were filled with colorful seasonal fruit and there were homemade breads. We had such great conversation. They totally got me excited about going to The Mrs. America pageant in August! I am going to do my best to bring home that crown and put South Carolina on the map for the Mrs. America system!
After our quiche and bacon were served we talked about some of the things I truly believe in, my interests and passions. I even autographed a few of their program books and then we said our goodbyes. I left there feeling more confident and with some great new connections and friends.
During the week, I have begun interviews and press releases have been sent out by our director, Rhonda Woods. I will be interviewed by Mayor Stan on Saturday and judging a pageant Saturday afternoon. Paperwork and photos have been sent to Nationals and now the work begins as I plan my costume. Of course, I was at Back in Shape Gym bright and early Monday morning (and every day this week) working with my trainer Jamie! She is awesome! Today she read to me while I worked out to keep my mind on positive, she said. Isn't that incredible? And all week I have been teaching at my studio. Friday is my first official day off! I'm going to spend it with my kids doing something fun...having a picnic!
Getting ready for this pageant is all about getting me physically and mentally ready. I want to do my personal best! I am excited about where this new journey is going to lead me! Until next time...
