Miss Simpsonville / Pre Workshop Weekend

My baby girl finally got her title as a teen queen at the Fountain Inn/Simpsonville pageant last weekend. I am SO excited for her, this sweet girl TOTALLY deserves a title and I cannot wait to take on State with her this June. Such a precious girl and I love her to death! She totally deserves Miss Simpsonville Teen 2015.

In just a few days, I, as well as all the other 49(??)+ Teen queens and our Miss’ will be going down to Colombia for the one and only workshop weekend! I am so excited to get to watch the last preliminary, Miss River City, Miss Yellow Jasmine and Miss Midstate get crowned and then off we go! It’s hard to believe all the preliminaries are practically over, it seems like a Saturday night tradition almost. Our schedule is so booked from here on out, preparing for state. I am more excited than nervous, but I’ve almost got everything down; but knowing this something will pop up and throw us for a ride! I don’t really know what to expect but I’m super excited to finally begin the state bound journey with my great team!

Working at the Wells

The past month I’ve been working with my sister queens, Miss Travelers Rest, Miss Travelers Rest teen, Miss Blue Ridge Foothills, Miss Wade Hampton, Miss Palmetto Teen and Miss Greenville West End teen raising money for Children’s Miracle Network at the “Well” aka the Bilo Center. Its great hours as well as lots of bonding time with them! I’m so glad I really have the best team to work with for my first year competing in Miss South Carolina. It has been such a great experience so far and I can’t wait to see what is in store for me next as Miss Blue Ridge Foothills Teen 2015!

The people are super helpful and we’ve made so much progress and I know I’ve definitely been developing more, not only as a role model and advocate for my platform, Paws4Cause, but to anyone I meet. There’s a lot to be learned working with so many people at one time in one booth but you have so much fun with everyone that time literally flies.
