March was a blur of events... starting with the American Girl Fashion Show. My beautiful Teen and I were lucky enough to emcee both the Friday and Saturday Patron show, and got to help get the girls ready for the runway! Right after the show, Jasmine and I hit the road to Kansas City for our official Miss Nebraska USA and Miss Nebraska Teen USA photo shoot with our Vanbros family. It was so much fun spending the day with our amazing director and sponsors, Kim Forsyth, Aquillia Vang, and Brian Wood. You can view my official Miss USA photo and the rest of my profile online HERE!

I was asked to be a part of the Salvation Army Fashion Show which was organized by my professor, Florence Dewan. Not only did I get to model with my good friend, Ellie Holtman Miss Missouri USA, but I got to wear a beautiful gown designed by my talented friend Amra Alihodzic.

The following week was the weekend I have been preparing for
all year; the 2013 Missouri Miss
Amazing Pageant. For those of you
who don’t know, when I first became a director two years ago my goal was to
have around 20 girls in a small, donated venue. With a lot of hard work I was able to grow the pageant to
around 50 girls in one of the largest venues in St. Charles. The news of last year’s pageant spread
like wildfire and this year we doubled in size with over 90 girls
participating. It was a huge
success. It is definitely the most
rewarding job a girl could have. I
am so lucky to be able to give girls who rarely get the chance, the opportunity
to steal the spotlight and feel beautiful. We have six amazing girls traveling to Omaha this September
to represent Missouri in the first ever national Miss Amazing Pageant!
