Lots to Talk About!

Hey there!!
Happy Saturday!  I hope you all have had an amazing week.  We have been so lucky to have such beautiful weather!  Except for today...  I hope this little cold front will pack up and head on out.  Although I have enjoyed cuddling up and watching movies today.  Thank you all for stopping by and keeping up with my blog.  I apologize for being behind on my post.  I have been one busy girl but, I am NOT complaining one bit.  I am almost three months into my reign and this has been the best time of my life.

 "Bag Stuffing Party"
The Arkansas Angels Pageant is Arkansas first special needs pageant for differently abled children.  It is an awesome organization and I am so grateful for getting to be a part of it.  Unfortunately, I was out of town on the day of the pageant but, I was able to attend the "Bag Stuffing Party".  The party was held at Cindy's Pageant Dresses in Jacksonville.  It was so good to see so many people, who care about these Angels, come together and donate their time to benefit this cause.  We formed an assembly line and got busy stuffing the goodies into bags for each contestant.  I had such a great time and had the honor of meeting some wonderful people.  This event was truly heart-warming!




The "Bag Stuffing Party" was held at Cindy's Pageant Dresses, a sponsor of the Arkansas Angels Pageant.  She has the sweetest, most precious little things for competing kiddos.  If you are looking for your little one a new, competition wardrobe, GO SEE CINDY!  She is wonderful!


 I would like all of you readers to take a moment a say a prayer for a special Angel, Andrea Thorn, who did not get to participate on the special day due to illness.  I haven't gotten the opportunity to meet this sweet girl yet, but from the pictures and updates she seems to be one of the happiest little girls that I know.  Andrea is staying at Arkansas Childrens Hospital and undergoing a series of various surgeries.  I have faith that God is going to take care of this little lady!  Lets pray for Andrea's strength and a speedy recovery.



Thank you all for reading and I promise to pick back up on my blogging!! I forget how much fun it is to share my journey with you guys.  Please forgive me, I have been doing lots of traveling to Kansas City in preparation for Miss USA.

Please keep checking back!! I have booked some really exciting appearances and can't wait to share all of them with you.

I am leaving tomorrow morning for New York!!!!!  I have a photoshoot booked with the AMAZING, Fadil Berisha.  I cannot explain how excited I am to work with him.  Also, I have never been to NYC!  I just might not want to come home. JK!! I will return on Tuesday.  Stay tuned for all of the details on my trip and hopefully a sneak-peek or two. :)


Love you all!!
XOXO

More Updates and Pics!

Hi Guys and Gals!

Happy Thursday!!! That means it is almost FRIDAY! TGIF! I will be heading back to Kansas City for the weekend.  We are having our second bootcamp and I will be reunited with my Van Bro's 'Miss Sisters'! At this bootcamp we will be going over modeling/walking/stage presence with the wonderful Kim Forsyth. I am also excited to meet Lupina! She will be doing our ettiquette training session and this makes me a little nervous. I am very excited to see what they have in store for us this weekend! A little prayer for safe travels would be greatly appreciated. ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

I just recieved a couple pictures from the fashion show that I hosted with Miss OKLAHOMA USA and I thought that I would share them with you! :) I hope you enjoy. By the way, the knockout blondie in the middle is the very talented designer of the awesome bags that we are modeling.  Faith Nicole is the disigner of her own fashion line, Flaunt-Love Who You Are. Her work is truly great and get this, she is only 18. I admire this girl. We were lucky enough to take home one of her pieces. I LOVE MINE and I think you should have one too! :) Check it out!!
