I'm running out of time quickly this morning, but I did want to write a little something just to let you all know that I am thinking of you, and to let you know how I feel this morning. I think it is important to take a step back and look at yourself before something like this. We have all worked hard, all 56 women are wonderful, and each would be deserving of the title of Miss California. I want it just as badly as everyone else, and if it is meant to be, it will be. I know that this is in God's hands; only He knows the outcome, and I feel a sense of calm in believing this. As someone told me, you know who you are, "You are exactly where you are supossed to be right now." That is so incredibly true and I know that the outcome tonight is meant for me.
Thank you once again to all of you. I could not be the person that I am today without all of your love and support. Thank you to my wonderful committee for prepping me to be the best that I can be. Thank you to my family for your thoughts and prayers, and for loving me unconditionally. To my pageant family, thank you for helping me grow. You have seen the biggest changes in me over the past 5 years, and I know that you are truly excited about the young woman that I have become. To my amazing trainer, Mike, I could never look this good without you! Thanks for making me get out of bed in the morning and for inspiring me to work hard. You're the best. To my wonderful boyfriend and biggest fan, John Jay. Thnak you for sticking with me through all of my preparation. You are not new to the game, and I am so grateful to have you in my life to support me and, of course, keep me from eating those fries. I love you very much. To my Mom, Dad, and little brother - you are my biggest supporters. There is no way that I could be so calm and so ready for this without the love that you supply. You are honest with me, and that is something that not a lot of people are. You don't just try to make me feel good, you tell me what to adjust so that I can reach my full potential. I love you all so very much and am truly blessed to have you in my life. Finally, to Kati. I love you so much, and am so happy that we have developed such an amazing relationship. You are incredible. You have dealt with my freakouts, there have been a few, getting all of my wardrobe together, the many appearances we had, sometimes with a 1/2 tagging along - Miss Aubri or Sammi - and have done more than I could have ever asked of you. You support me, love me, make me cry, make me laugh, and so many girls do not get the chance to have a director as amazing as you. Thank you for everything - there is too much to list. I can't wait until Tuesday for our Housewives marathon of fun. Even if I don't win tonight, know that I will be excited to continue being Miss San Diego Cities. I have had a wonderful time with you, and I am so, so incredibly blessed to have you in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone, I love and appreciate you all.
Whew, well that's about all I have for now. In a few short hours we will have a new Miss California!! I am so excited to learn the outcome, and will be sure to update you about what happens. I believe in myself and I believe in my efforts; I have worked hard for this, and if does happen, I will take on the position with an open mind and an open heart, and strive to be the best Miss California that I could possibly be. For now, I will just continue to remind myself, when those little butterflies sneak up, if it is meant to be, it will be...
Always, Saundra Combs
Miss San Diego Cities 2010
