It is incredible how quickly time flies! I cannot believe that in just a few short weeks we will be headed up to Fresno for Miss California. It is absolutely crunch time, but for some strange reason I feel so calm about pretty much everything. I guess that is one of the advantages to having been there before, you learn to prepare and anticipate everything that could happen or probably will happen. I am definitely one for organization, and this week has been dedicated to making sure that I have just about everything and anything that I can think of!
Before we get to this week, I should probably tell you about last weekend first. As I mentioned in my last blog, the Southern California girls were all invited to attend mock interviews this weekend at the beautiful home of Kathy Baldwin. It was a beautiful setting and many of the girls came to have at least one mock so that they could be even better prepared for Miss California interviews. It was so nice to see everyone that came and be able to talk to them about preparation, choreography, wardrobe, and anything else that we could think of. It will be such a fun year and I can't wait to see all of these girls very, VERY, soon.
In addition to the Miss contestants having interviews, several of the Teen competitors came as well. I have been very curious as to what the dynamic will be at Miss California this year because of the addition of the teens into our program, but after having met several of them, I am sure that we will have a great time. They are really a lot of fun to be around, and while they may be a little more, what's a good word for it..., energetic, I have no doubt that they will bring an element of fun into the mostly serious atmosphere that the Miss contestants create during preliminaries. It will be interesting, but I have no doubt that we will have a great time.
Whew, well as of this week I have officially begun packing. As I said, I like to be over prepared and not too surprised by anything that could happen during competition. So this week, I have gathered all of my supplies - boxes to separate things in, emergency kit stuff, hem tape, butt glue - and am beginning to organize them into their own separate boxes, like I said, no surprises! Packing is perhaps the most intensive part of this entire thing! I am starting now but no matter how hard I try I am sure that I will still be packing the night before I leave! Oh well, I am trying to get it all done as soon as possible, we'll see how well I do!
I am almost ready to go to Miss California, there are just a few things left that I need to finish off my wardrobe. It has been quite an eventful year and I truly feel that the experiences I've had as Miss San Diego Cities will help to propel me even further. I have a great team behind me and we are all so excited to see what the outcome is this year in Fresno. Thank you so much to everyone that has helped me during this year, I feel truly blessed to have you all in my life!
Well I better get back to packing, I'll keep you updated as to how it's going...
Always,
