There were a lot of final preparations this week I had leading up to my departure. On Wednesday was my final track practice with St. Clement. I was sad to be leaving and to be missing their championship meet but they all worked very hard and knew they would be fine without me. I also had a Saks 5th runway show with a bunch of my New View friends. I was so happy to see them before I left and to hear them all wish me good luck.
That leaves me to today. I now have 2 days till I leave and I had much going on. I woke up this morning to head up to Catan's in northern Ohio to pick up my finished Miss USA gown! I was so happy to finally have it! It was that moment I truly realized this was all really happening; I was competing for Miss USA!!!!!!! I had to hurry back home to meet Deb, Melissa, Chester, and others at Deb's studio for a final farewell and to go through Deb's clothes and accessoriesto take with me to Vegas! Deb gave me so much cool stuff (about 5 different outfits) and a ton of jewelry. But my favorite were these multi colored boots! I also modeled both my evening gowns for everyone and they just took everyone's breath away!
Finally Melissa had a pretty cool surprise for me. I came out after changing and there on the table was a Barbie made to look like me with a crown on her head (her hair was pulled back in a ponytail too!) Found out the crown was actually a ring each of us-Bridget, Rima, and Catherine- were given. Also the Rima, Bridget, and Catherine barbies were there also! I absolutley loved it! It was so nice seeing my training team one last time! Melissa, Chester, and Deb- I love you so much, you've really transformed me! I can't wait to go and compete for all of us!!!!
