So, today officially marks day one of my journey to Miss Georgia USA in November 2013! I am so excited to go back this year. Last year was an amazing experience for me. I was part of the top fifteen, which was an absolute blessing. I just hope this year, I can make the judges love me enough for top five! Last year showed me the things that I was doing right, but also the things I was doing wrong. This year, I've enlisted the help of people who are going to make this experience even better. I got a new dress and had the help of a dear friend to find it! Thank you so much Lasting Impressions in Columbus, Georgia! You helped me pick out a gorgeous gown and created the custom made earrings! Everything is gorgeous and I can't wait to wear them! Don Baker is an interview guru! He works with CEO's in the business field, and so many other pageant girls who have become Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss America and Miss America Outstanding Teen! To be able to work with him is a blessing!
As for photos and most everything else... I have to say that Meredith and Matt Boyd are amazing. My photos are always perfect when I go to them! Meredith is also a make up and hair coach! I have gone to her quite a times before the pageant last year for us to come up with an amazing make up and hair look to match the perfect dress that I got. (Mere...what what was I thinking with my make up before I came to you...thank you for showing me the light). I will also get to practice interview with her and stage presence... see what I mean when I say everything else! As far as my fitness... I have to say that I will travel the seven seas to train with Josiah Igidi! He really knows how to work you out! I have moved from three different gyms just to train with him... He is currently at Cross Fit Brookhaven, and I will be seeing him some this summer!!! If you enjoy cross fit, this is definitely a Great gym to check out!
My parents, poor mommy and daddy. I become a crazy person to be around during the few months leading up to the event. Daddy wants to feed me all the time because he thinks I'm being extreme, and I tell him no, but he loves me for it anyway. Mom thinks that I do too much in the gym, and maybe she's right... but she's only looking out for her girl! My brothers and sisters for coming to the pageant and watching me. I know this takes time out of your schedules and you have to drive far, but I love you so much. I also love the super neon pink and green posters you make for me! Most importantly though, I love hearing you guys scream for me! Hallie girl. I hope that you will come again. You said you had fun!!! I can't wait to start putting you in pageants... Aunt Amy will always have contacts for you!
Okay... if you're not in my family and you're reading this... Thank you for reading the entire list of people that you will hear about throughout the next few months... they are very special to me and will play a big role throughout this journey!
