I am amazed that I made it through the last few days.

On Thursday, I drove all the way from northern Ohio to Stafford, Virginia. I then stayed overnight there and drove to Williamsburg the next morning.

I definitely feel like so many of us girls had random problems competing. It was no one’s fault, but I heard about people whose dresses didn’t come in, Bobbi’s tutu didn’t arrive and her strap was nearly broken on her pointe shoes so we were praying backstage while she danced that the shoes would hold. I left one tap shoe in Ohio as well as my earrings, so I had to tap dance in brand new shoes that I had never broken in. Thanks to Lydia I was able to borrow some earrings! Bless her! Last night I drove immediately from the pageant to Dulles so that I could catch my early flight.

Despite all the little issues, it was a great weekend. I’m excited to have placed where I did because it was truly a competitive pageant.

Now, however, I am off on a much-deserved vacation to Hawaii!

Thanks to all the people who have supported and helped me and never let me give up!
