My Pageant Experiences!

Well it all started in 2010, when at the last minute I was the backstage hand for the Miss Crosby-Ironton Pageant. It was the first time it was brought back from 15 years ago. So there was some rough parts but I was back there telling the Emcees when it was safe to continue so no one missed a beat.

After that I became a contestant in the 2011 Miss CI Pageant. It was such a fun time that truly treasure the memories that have been created with everyone. For my talent that year, I did a comedy routine that I made my own spin on, from an iJustine video from YouTube. It was about a mishap at a coffee shop though mine didn't happen to me it really did to iJ. OH I love it. But when it came down to crowning I didn't want to feel any crown land on my head BUT ONLY the Miss CI crown. Sadly I didn't earn a crown. It just wasn't my year and I feel that I put the pageant before God and I really shouldn't have done that. 

Now in 2012, I am competing once more to see if I earn a crown. I have worked insanely hard and I have put in work with my platform, Operation Smile. I'm sure you have heard of it. :) Well at my workplace, Heartland Kitchen & Cafe, I have been holding a fundraiser and I will keep it going 'til the end of August. My goal was $240 and that is the amount of a single surgery for a child in a developing country. But I have raised enough money for TWO surgeries. I am so happy and proud of my community for giving. I feel very blessed. Now that it is getting down to the wire to the pageant, I am working on my walk and talk. Introduction, Talent, Interview, and Evening Gown...Crazy time but fun! 

I feel if this year is my year to have a title in the 2012 Miss Crosby-Ironton Pageant. It will be if not well maybe I am meant to be in another pageant. I have been looking into the Miss America pageants and I really want to give it a shot. It's all about what is in my plan that God has for me. 

Well that was my story and I'm stickin' to it! HAHA. Keep checking back for more memories, stories, and updates in my pageant life. :)

Raising Funds for New Smiles!

Hello guys! So I have noticed that I am getting so addicted to blogging...HAHA can't help it is so much fun to blog about how much fun I am having recently that is pageant related! So I wanted to make a blog about my fundraiser for my platform...Operation Smile! I have known of this organization since I was little and with having this birth defect of a bilateral cleft lip and palate, I was personally connected with this. When my father would tell me to turn it to a channel the commercial was on for Operation Smile, I felt so bad for those kids who couldn't have the access like I had to doctors and surgeries. I wanted to make a change. I thought it would be cool to donate to my platform before the pageant to show how much I really do care and want to make a difference. But my boss suggested to do a fundraiser through the month of August for Operation Smile. So I did and I started actually in Mid-July and I already have more then my goal is! My goal was $240 which is enough...

MISS BL...ROUND 2!! LET'S DO THIS!

HEY YALL!! It is so close until the up-in-coming Miss Brainerd Lakes pageant! I am super excited! God has prepared me in multiple ways for anything He has planned! I have given it all up to Him!! I am doing my best this time around not to focus so much on what anyone else is doing rather focus on what God has placed in front of me. I seem to fall into this trap of thinking someone else is WAY better than me & I have NO CHANCE in achieving the title. Those thoughts need to be thrown out the window! I have always thought those kind of things when a pageant came about! I try to stop the thoughts but it seemed it just always happened! THIS YEAR is gonna be different. I'm changing my thought process & my whole outlook. I can't wait to make new friends, memories & continue to grow. This will be my sixth pageant...MAYBE THIS IS MY TIME...MY TIME TO GROW AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF WHAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO OFFER. To be honest, I don't know but I do know I trust God!...

New Dreams, Challenge Yourself!

I truly think if you have dreams, please challenge yourself and not settle! I believe that is what I have been doing with pageants. No matter who or what brings me back in, at the end of another pageant I feel these same feelings. It's just not where God has me going in life. Let me paint you a picture of how it happened. It is the end of the pageant, it went by pretty quick and throughout the whole evening I felt off. I didn't feel as confident like I normally do with pageants. I tried my best as I possibly could. They handed out overall (throughout the 3 titles) individual awards. One miss contestant got two the other got one. There were three of us Miss Contestants. As we went up for the title I knew I wasn't gonna get it. The runner up was announced...not me. The title holder....not me. Shocker? No not at all! I've competed for 5 years....7 pageants (including this one) and I've always lost. I've won Miss Congeniality which is such an honor don't g...
