More Traveling and Training...And My Photo Shoot With Carter Studios!
















It was another fun weekend on the road and in a new city. Friday afternoon I left for Pittsburgh for some more training with my little sis, Miss Michigan, and the West Virginia ladies. I arrived later that night at the Hyatt in the Pittsburgh airport and immediately Rima and I got situated in our room. We then met with Melissa and Randy (director of PA, WV, and IN) and went over the weekend and everything that would be happening. We then watched a fun film with the behind the scenes of Miss USA 2006. It was soon time to go to bed (Bridget finally arrived later).

I woke up Saturday to help Bridget get her things together for her Carter Studios shoot and we had a quick breakfast at the hotel restaurant. It was YUMMY! After helping Bridget carry her things, it was time to get my workout in. I now had to get ready for the day, eat lunch while watching Miss USA 2009, and then at noon it was my turn to shoot with Carter Studios. Heather did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. Jonathan was a ton of fun to work with too! (Pants on the ground, looking like a fool with your pants on the ground!)

It then was time to meet with Melissa on a one on one session. She was able to give me that extra boost of confidence and really helped me put things into perspective. Now it was time for the most memorable part of the weekend- walking the airport lobby with our swimsuits on! I really didn't feel uncomfortableat 1st until several older men started taking pictures on their phone! But it was a funny experience.

We then walked back to Randy's room, watched Susie Castillo's year at Miss USA and then we were dismissed for the night. We were all starving so Bridget and I decided to go ahead and order Italian, since nothing else was open. (Kim caught us though lol) It had been a long day and I was so happy to hit the sack, even though I had to share my bed with a certain little sister. haha

We woke up pretty late Sunday morning and scrambled to get ready to meet Melissa for breakfast and say our goodbyes. I stayed behind a little while longer to get my workout in and when I was done it was back off to Cincinnati. Home Sweet Home!!!
