I am so blessed to be Miss Oklahoma! This weekend was my “Miss America Retreat Weekend” with Jack, Mignon, Momma Kay, and one of my role models, Miss Oklahoma 2009, Taylor Treat Burgett! We had a great time doing interview prep, rehearsing my talent, modeling, accessorizing outfits and even going to the movies. 🙂 They made sure there were plenty of “healthy snacks” for me all weekend, since m&m’s aren’t on the diet right now. 🙂 I can’t imagine having a more incredible prep team to make me feel my very best for Miss America!

My sendoff is next week and I CAN’T WAIT! I’m so excited to show my friends and family how hard we’ve been working to get ready for Vegas. 16 days and counting until I board the plane for Miss America! I can’t believe Miss America 2012 will be crowned in 26 days! Don’t forget to tune in and watch it live: Saturday, January 14 on ABC!
