I am tucked in and ready to get some beauty sleep after tonight's prelims.  I absolutely had a BLAST on stage.  I keep realizing more and more each day how lucky I am to be here to represent my wonderful state.  THANK YOU to everyone who has texted, called, contacted me on social media, watched the pageant through live stream, prayed, or even thought of me today.  I am SO blessed and love hearing from each and every one of you.  Your kind words and well wishes are what makes this experience so wonderful.  I hope to be called out in the top 15 on Wednesday, but know that I have had an amazing experience no matter what happens.  Regardless, I am Mrs. Kentucky and am so honored to hold that title.

Night Night!

....Pictures to come!

Friday night we had dinner in the the Mrs. America Suite for the Hotel President's Dinner.  We all presented the hotel president with a gift- mine was a basket of jams and jellies from Mom and Dad's Farm.  I think he loved it!  The suite was gorgeous and us ladies had so much fun dressing up and relaxing together. 

Mrs. Wisconsin is a sweetheart!

Mrs Arizona!  I think it would be so neat to have

the Mrs. America in my state!

All of the presents. 

The dessert tables always look amazing!

With Mr. and Mrs. Marmel

Mrs. Hawaii's coach is originally from Valley Station, KY.  He brought

The stage is SET! I love it:)

INTERVIEW DAY!

Sunday's present- a notepad...I am a huge list maker-

so this is PERFECT for me!

Thanks Denise (Mrs. Kentucky 2007) for providing me with an 

amazing interview dress.  

Mom and Dad have arrived!!!

Monday's Daily gift--Soap, which is perfect for my new home!

We had a dress rehearsal before tonight's prelims.  Our 

backstage is ready to go!

Mrs. America and Mrs. World came to give us some words of 

advice.  They are so beautiful inside and out!

A lot has happened since my last blog from Wednesday....

Here is my daily gift I received from QM on Thursday morning!

I love stationary- especially when it involves crowns;) 

Practice time with the girls

Doing our opening number dance

After practice time in the morning, we left the resort

to go downtown for lunch with the Mayor of Tucson!

Mom and Dad were so kind to sponsor my gift to the mayor.

I just KNOW he will love having "Momma Rob's" jams 

and jellies in his own kitchen.

I got to fit some facetime in with my two boys!!!

I miss them SO much!

Delegate gift exchange time!! This was a blast.

We each brought gifts for each contestant.  I should

have brought an extra suitcase for all of my gifts!!

I thought these cookies were TOO cute

We also had a seminar on "Vault Denim Skincare" products.

The owner flew in from LA to talk to us about them.  He has been featured 

on the Real Housewives shows!! I was so pumped about that.  

I LOVE my real housewives! ;)

I was able to take a look at all of my gifts once I made

it back to my room.  This is just so much fun. 

Friday's busy schedule

Breakfast then practice!

With Mr. Marmel, the owner of Mrs. America

We love Caroline.  She keeps us straight! ;)

The spray tan lady had her little baby in the lobby!

She is SO adorable.  I was able to get my "dog fix" 

since I am missing my little buddy oh so much. 

The desert table at lunch is always so pretty.  

I found out they are sisters!! How fun is that?

I am taking a break in the hotel lobby while writing this blog.  I have to return to practice in 15 minutes, then we are having our "President's Dinner" tonight in the Mrs. America Suite.  I am looking forward to getting dressed up again and hanging out with these wonderful ladies.
