March

Hello! March has been such a fun month! I found out that I will be leaving for Miss USA on June 4th, that means I have 87 days to prepare. I cannot believe I will be in Vegas for 16 days! It sounds so long but it is going to go by extremely quick. We had a Vanbros beauty boot camp a couple weekends ago. Kim Forsyth came to Kansas City to help us 5 with our walking. We also talked a lot about what to expect at Miss USA, which made me very excited! Us five (Miss NE, MO, OK, and AK) had so much fun together and it will be great going to the pageant already knowing 4 other girls. This next weekend we have another boot camp and our focus will be with interview. Valerie Hayes will be coming to Kansas city, I have been working with her over the phone so I am excited to meet her in person!

This past Thursday I went to Lexington Trails Middle School to speak to the 6th graders. I was asked to go there by Sally Beck, the chapter advisor at my sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. I spoke about doing your best in school and working hard because you can achieve anything when you put your mind to it. I asked the kids if they had any questions and they were some of the craziest questions I have heard! Some of the question were has anyone ever fallen off the stage? and has anyone ever gotten sick on the stage? I was very entertained by the question! They were such a great group of kids and I was so happy to have been able to go to their school! Here are a few pictures...

Have a great rest of your week!
