At last, I am completely internet ready, I have my blog up, I've been tweeting, and I now have my own website! Computers are becoming my forte. I am thrilled to be able to share my experience as Miss District of Columbia 2010 with the world.
I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been blessed with the opportunity to represent our Nation's capital at the Miss America Pageant. I have some very special people to thank. First, a shout out to Pwills (my pet name for my mom), and daddy. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Your endless support and dedication to helping me make my dreams come true has been breathtaking. My sister Anna has been there from the start, inspiring me to dream big and helping me realize that I can accomplish just about anything. To my Miss DC family, Teri, Tricia, and Sonya thank you all for your endless guidance and support. CJD, Haaskins, and Gunsey I want to thank you for your support throughout the year. Surviving the medical boards and then beginning the pageant with the interview portion thirty minutes later was not easy. You don't know how close I came to dropping out when I realized that was the only possible scheduling of those events. And at the Sunday night pageant, I will never forget seeing you all from stage, waving your "heads on a stick" and GIGANTIC "We<3 SAW" signs. You brought tears to my eyes, and I love you all.
Ever since the crown hit my head I have not stopped moving. I have done a number of appearances including the Fourth of July Parade, visiting a performing arts camp, an interview on the venerable Atlantic City Pinky's Corner radio show, the Marines Sunset Parade, visiting and playing with kids from Saint Ann's, a reception thrown for me by Senator Strauss, a Screen on the Green kick-off party, and too many more to list! It has been a great experience so far, and I am so excited looking forward to the rest of the year.
