Driving Miss Rima :)

Rima and I getting ready to leave for Nashville! Adria loved Rima!!!!

Behind the Scenes! :)


We'll make 2 beautiful brides one day!


This past weekend was so much fun! Rima and I had to travel to Nashville to see Kent and work on our walk. Rima drove to my house on Friday afternoon and I drove both of us down to Nashville in my little PT Cruiser, Delilah. :) We had an absolute blast on the way down there, talking and catching up. We even sang "Barbie Girl" a few times. (Rima is an amazing singer! We're going to enter a Karaoke contest one day) We stopped for dinner at none other than Cracker Barrel, where it was Rima's first time there. While there we signed a couple autographs and Rima played dress up with this beautiful wrap that she later bought for her grandma.

When we finally arrived at our hotel, the Hyatt, we unpacked and quickly got ready for our 1st lesson with Kent (Little did we know that we were 1 hour behind down there). That lesson was pretty rough and our minds were starting to spin with learning and processing all this new information. After the 3 hours of walking training, Rima and I decided to go to Kroger to pick up some healthy food for the weekend. When we finally got back to our room, we both passed out! It was one long and tiring day.

We woke up the next morning to eat a delicious and healthy breakfast and then worked out in the hotel's gym. I of course didn't think to bring my gym shoes, and decided to bike in my clogs. After the workout we had plenty of time until our next walking lesson (which was at 6pm) and we decided it was time to do some shopping! We ended up going to the Opry Mills and it was every shopper's dream! It was a huge and beautiful mall with outlet stores in it. It even had a Rainforest Cafe and an AMC Theatre. Rima and I found tons of bargains that we truly could not pass up! We took a break at Barnes and Noble, where we were looking through workout books while sipping Starbuck's coffee. We then had to leave to get ready to see Kent, but not before stopping in a few shops while heading out. :)

We finally arrived at the studio and met Miss Tennessee, Miss Teen Tennessee, Miss Georgia, Miss Teen Georgia, and our very own Catherine, Miss Teen Michigan. All the ladies were so lovely and sweet. That session was a refresher course on everything we had learned last night, and it seemed everything was starting to click together for me. We left after only a 1 and half hours of training because we had to go to bed super early because we needed to wake up at 5:30 in the morning the following day!

Sunday was the day that we had to put everything we learned form Kent into action on the stage. We had 3 different bridal shows to do and we had to do our own hair and makeup. It was going to be a long day! Kent taught us the different stage patterns and before we would walk the catwalk, he shouted out the name of the one we were suppose to do. I had a lot of fun working the stage and hanging out with the other girls. But soon it was time to go home.

We said our goodbyes and headed out on the road. For dinner Rima and I stopped at Subway (still trying to eat as healthy as possible) and we were soon back home in no time or at least I was. I then had to say goodbye to Rima; I would get to see her in 5 days, so it wouldn't be a long goodbye. When I walked through my garage door, my whole family was watching the Miss Ohio USA pageant. The DVD had finally arrived and I couldn't wait to watch it!
