Answering my onstage question
The final 5 are.....
"Tonight's gonna be a good night!"
It has now been 3 days since I was crowned Miss Ohio USA 2010 and it all still hasn't sunk in. I've been having a hard time getting some adequate sleep. I keep trying to think back to late Saturday night, but it seems to just be a big blur. The final show went by so fast and before I knew it, I was being crowned. All of the girls were so beautiful and did a really great job.
Alissa, thanks for being such an awesome roomie! I'm so glad that it was you and I that stood up there in the end!
Angelique, you're such a big sweetheart! Thanks for answering all the questions I had about the pageant.
Sarah, you were the first person to befriend me and made the pageant just that much more fun!
Adrielle, we really represented and had a blast doing it!
Megan, I will never forget the moment you helped me out onstage! (my mind was somewhere else!! haha) I'm sure one day I'll see your face on VOGUE!
One thing I will never forget is all the hard work it took to get to this point. There were months of watching what I ate and recording all of my different workouts. Hours of practicing walking in those 5 inch heels. But it was all worth it in the end. I woke up Sunday morning to realize it all wasn't a dream. There sitting on the nightstand, was my crown! It was the most surreal moment of my life. I went back to work Monday and my manager Janet was so excited to tell all the guests that Miss Ohio USA was in their presence. I even signed a few receipts! Today was my first day back at school too. In my public speaking class, I had to give a 4 minute story speech and so I talked about this past weekend and everything that happened each day. So many questions were asked and everyone seemed excited for me. Right after classes I had to go to my Girls On The Run practice at Corryville Catholic School. I told all the girls my good news, and let's just say it got them running! They kept asking if they could go to Miss USA with me or if I could pack them in my suitcase. It was such a great feeling to know I was able to win not just for myself, but for my family, for the city of St. Bernard, for my school, for my work, and for all the young girls I coach. My one wish was to make them all proud. I feel like I truly accomplished that! Well this coming week will be a crazy and hectic one for sure! But I'm excited and can't wait! Lastly I just wanted to thank all the judges once again for seeing something special in me. You don't know how much this means to me and because of all of you, my dreams have come true!
Bridget (MY LITTLE SIS!!!)- We have our work cut out for us, but let's get ready to kick butt in Miss USA and Miss Teen USA!!!!!!!!!!
