One week from today I will be deep in rehearsals for Miss Indiana! I am so excited, packing has already begun and I feel like it can't get here soon enough. This morning I was invited to be interviewed on a major radio station here in Northwest Indiana, Indiana 105! I have been involved with the radio station for almost 10 years now, performing when they have shows or coming in for interview, and they asked me to come in so they could help me out! I got to talk about the pageant and my prep for about a half hour. The morning show DJ is such an amazing help and I am so blessed to have had that opportunity this morning.
Today is quite a busy day because I am working both jobs along with getting my workout in. Then when I get home I have to pack a little, practice for talent and hopefully get in bed at a decent hour so I can do it all again tomorrow. If there's one thing I am definitely ready for, it's all of the time commitments the job of Miss Indiana involves! I think I've been preparing for that part my whole life!!
I spent the entire weekend getting the final touches finished on everything for the week. Only a few more things and I will be set to go! My momal is quite possibly one of the most vital parts of my preparation. Without her, I would most likely go on-stage and all of my dresses would be falling off OR I'd be tripping everywhere since I am a bit fun sized (as I like to call it!) I absolutely cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work these last couple of weeks. The other part (aside from my amazing director, Jenee) is my mom. Although a lot of her work is complete, she's the person who spends countless hours helping me pick my clothes out and every single little thing I would forget if it wasn't for her. They are both absolutely amazing and I definitely would be a hot mess going into next week if it weren't for them.
Now it is time for me to get to work here at the Duneland Family YMCA! Summer camp started today so I am officially super busy designing my big project for the summer :) Woo Hoo, I'm officially in PR/Social Media/Miss Indiana mode (now that's definitely a mouth-full lol)
XOXO-
