Hey Everyone, Long time no see! I have been keeping very busy as Miss Georgia USA! I have so much to share but the first matter of business is That Miss USA has finally been announced as June 19th live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. I can not begin to describe how excited I am. Now that we have a solid date, everything has become so real!
Over the past month I have had some hard hitting days! After the Chic Fil A Bowl, I had the opportunity to visit the Atlanta Apparel Mart and start getting the foundational ideas for my evening gown going. Luckily I was under the guidance of my Director, Kim Greenwood and one of my sponsors, Steven Fields. We did a lot of brainstorming and came up with some ideas that I just ADORE! I can't wait to see it all come together. I wish I could share... but I promise it will be worth the wait ;)
I have been keeping up with my dental sponsor, Dr. Patel with Dentistry East Piedmont. Good news is my teeth are looking more white & beautiful every time I visit... Bad news is- we found a CAVITY!!! I have to get it filled at my next visit in a few weeks. WAA! I would be scared but Dr. Patel & his staff are so careful I know I will not be in pain... I hope! haha.
I spent the weekend before Valentines day in Nashville with all of my Greenwood Productions sisters for a "Titleholder Weekend." Kristen (Miss GA Teen USA) and I decided pack into my car bright and early and make the 5 hour drive up! I started off with a fantastic photo shoot with Kristy Belcher and Joel Green (Makeup Artist) and finished the day with a walking class with Kent Parham...I never knew walking was so complicated! Saturday started with a 6 mile run with our fitness trainer, Josh Rogers. Shortly after we participated in mock interviews at J.S. Fields. One of our judges was none other than Beth Hood, Miss TN 2003! We concluded the evening with an awesome dinner and Miss USA videos at the beautiful home of Kaitlin White (Miss TN Teen USA). Sunday consisted of another walking class with Kent Parham and wrapped with me sitting in on Kristen's photo shoot with Kristy Belcher and Joel Green. I had a blast, and I also left with a renewed sense of focus and gratitude.

A week later I found myself in Dothan, Alabama shooting with another one of my sponsors, Clay Spann. His hair, makeup, and wardrobe really made me feel like Miss USA. His studio space is amazing, and it is connected to The Competitive Image, a dress boutique full of some of the most beautiful gowns!
Last but not least, I have a big announcement! I am an Aunt!!! My very first Niece, Haven, was born Friday, Feb 11 2011. 4lbs 6oz!
Everything is really starting to pick up, and I know it is only going to get more and more busy, but I am SO ready for the challenge. I know Miss USA is going to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life, but I am making sure to cherish every single day in preparation for it too!
Sounds like things are going great! Your niece is so cute and so tiny!!!
