January Events!

Last Saturday evening I did a Bridal show for Natalie M. Courtney Courter, Miss Kansas USA 2009, works at the store and recruited me to do the Disney princess themed show! It was a lot of fun because I have never worn a wedding dress in my life. I got to wear the Jasmine themed dress and it was very pretty. Here is one of the gowns that I wore....

The next day Natalie M. had another fashion show. This was themed Disney Prom and it was available for high school girls around the area to participate in. My director, John Vanetta, had me go to this and promote the Miss Kansas USA and Miss Kansas Teen USA pageant for next year. I was at a booth with my lovely mother and we handed out hundreds of flyers! There were other vendors around that I got to meet. One of them was a couple of really nice ladies selling Beijo purses. They decided to just give me a purse! It was so generous and it was a really cute handbag! My mom and I had a lot of fun talking to high school girls about the benefits of pageants and how you gain confidence and poise by participating in them. Overall it was an awesome weekend!

Get Me Some Protein!

I have now officially been Miss Kansas USA for one month! I will celebrate with a protein bar. Yayy. Well, I am going to talk about how my training is going. I feel like I am training for the olympics, it is crazy. I saw my official Vanbros personal trainer, Brian Attebery, last weekend in Oklahoma. He is AWESOME! He made me feel so motivated! I have been doing the workouts he gave me for a little bit over a week now and all I have to say is WOW. I don't think my biceps or calves have ever been this sore. It has been fun though because my 22 year old sister, Shawna, will come with me to the gym and push me to do a little bit more. The eating healthy is fun too. I would rather be eating a big mac but the protein shakes aren't all that bad! My whole family is getting on the healthy bandwagon with me, it's great that we can all support eachother!
        Here is a picture of Brian and me, maybe someday my guns will be the size of his! Haha, only joking!

Have a great day and I will post back here soon!
