Its been a while since I last wrote, and trust me, lots has been going on! I have now puchased my evening gown AND talent gown for Miss Michigan! I owe a HUGE thanks to Becker's Bridal in Fowler. They were absolutly fantastic to work with and I walked away with 2 gorgeous dresses!
On Saturday I was lucky enough to be asked to attend a Fairytale Story celebration at Cedar Crest Elementary to kick off March is Reading Month (my favorite!!). I had a blast reading to the participants, handing out stickers, and watching them play in a pop-up tent decorated to look like a castle. And no, unfortunatly that is NOT where I reside, though many thought so!
Saturday evening I was presented with the opportunity to attend the Miss GVSU pageant and cheer on my Miss Danish sister Emily Cole! It was a great trip with some great women and interesting conversation! Emily looked beautiful, and took the congeniality award as well as second runner-up, and was presented with the chance to compete at the Miss Lighthouse Coast Pageant this weekend in Muskegon! I was also lucky enough to see the new Miss GVSU crowned, and a big congratulations goes out to Morgan Lind. She is a very talented girl and I can't wait to get to know her at Miss Michigan!
Unfortuantly I didn't have the chance to socialize with other titleholders, as I have been sick and had a fever while at the pageant. I didn't want to pass that along!
Also this weekend I made the final cuts on my talent music for the state competition, it only took 2.5 HOURS, and I owe a HUGE thank you to the VanHouten Family for donating your time and amazing musical/technological talents, and helping me acheive the perfect track.
Now I just have to survive one more week of school before Spring Break! Break kicks of with a trip to the Holiday Inn in Muskegon to cheer on, not one, but TWO of our very own Danish girls in the Michigan Sweeps pageant, and the last chance to go to Miss Michigan 2010! Last year I was blessed to be able to compete as Miss Danish Festival's runner-up, along side former Miss Danish Festival Shannon O'Donald, where She placed 3rd Runner-Up and I placed 4th! This year I have the opportunity to support my first runner up Lindsey Kern, and my pageant sister Emily Cole! And on Saturday, Julie and I will make the trek back to Muskegon for Miss Michigan Orientation!
Good Luck to all the girls preparing for Miss Lighthouse Coast!
