I Feel Pretty...Oh So Pretty!

This past Sunday, I headed out with my mom, my sister queens, and my directors to Kansas City to go dress shopping for Miss MO! I had dreams of what I wanted my gown to look like, and I couldn't wait to see what I was going to find.

When we arrived, Karin welcomed us in and was incredible at knowing our size, shape, colors, style, and everything else about us without even asking!  She quickly pulled out a dress for me, and when I stepped out in it, I knew that this was the one.  With "Oohs" and "Awws" scattered around the shop, I immediately fell in love!  I cannot wait to be able to show everyone my gorgeous gown at Miss MO OT this summer! :)

After finding my gown rather quickly, I spent the rest of the day watching my sister queens (minus Jenn and Stephanie who couldn't come) try on and find their own perfect dresses!  It was amazing to see their confident, beautiful faces when they found that one dress.  

I want to thank Karin and Net Fashion Avenue for an amazing day of relaxation and fun, and the opportunity to feel the prettiest I ever have, which is something every girl wants!  I can't wait to see you in the crowd cheering us on this June!

I had an amazing time today working up at my local IHOP collecting donations for CMN!  I reunited with Hayden, one of the St. Louis's Miracle Children, and met many new friends.  

I want to thank everyone who came out, ate an awesome short stack, and donated money to CMN.  Your support was greatly appreciated!  

After working at IHOP, I went to the last boys basketball game at my school and watched Barat come out on top!  Performing our guy-girl dance (AKA Baratcudas dance) just added to the excitement!  What a night!
