Dream Come True...

Hello and welcome to my blog!!   I have never been much of a writer, that is my younger sisters forte, but I want to make sure I document the amazing year I have ahead of me!  I know it will go by so fast!  For those of you who do not know anything about me, this first post will provide a little background information.  My name is Ellie Lorenzen and I am Miss Nebraska USA 2013!

Being Miss Nebraska USA has been a dream of mine since I was 17 years old when I signed up for my first Miss Nebraska Teen USA pageant.  Every year I’ve competed, I've learned so much about myself; the life skills I’ve taken from pageantry has really shaped who I am as a person.  On October 7th, my dream finally came true when I was crowned Miss Nebraska USA at the beautiful Rose Theater in Omaha Nebraska! Not only was it in my hometown, but it was also in a place so familiar to me. Before my life in pageants, I was a student at the Omaha Theater Ballet and used to perform at the Rose.  It was great to be back at my old stomping grounds.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my journey to the crown and hope you continue to support me as I begin to prepare for Miss USA next year!  I am excited and grateful for this roller coaster ride I am about to embark on!  

Until next time…
