After interviews, Kalie and I grabbed some food and took a
trip to Walmart to pick up some fake eyelashes for the stage…. It never fails!
I always forget something whenever I travel!! After our quick break, we made
our way to the Rexburg Tabernacle to get ready for the show. I steamed some
dresses, ran through my piano piece a few times, and even had a chance to speak
to all the contestants before they started the show. When I look back at my
past pageant experiences, the best ones were not necessarily just times when I
won the crown, but the times that I was able to just enjoy, have fun, and be
myself! I think all of the girls that competed in Miss Rexburg Saturday night
were able to do just that – they looked so natural onstage and blew the
audience away! J
A huge congratulations is in order for Jennah Coray and
Lauren Parkhurst, our new Miss Rexburg 2013 and Miss Upper Valley 2013!!! I
can’t wait to see these beautiful girls again in two weeks at our Miss Idaho
Orientation! 1st Runner Up Tierney Warren and 2nd Runner
Up Jordan Hill did a fabulous job as well, and I hope and pray that these
ladies will continue to share their talents and compete. The whole group of
ladies at Miss Rexburg just had incredible potential! Lori Price surely knows
what she is doing when she prepares her girls.
Before wrapping up this post, I want everyone to know what
amazing titleholders Jessica Bracey and Makenda Bickmore have been this year.
Not only were they a blast to spend the week with at Miss Idaho, but they have
continued to represent Rexburg and the Upper Valley with dignity. Here is a
link to the Miss Rexburg’s Facebook Page and blog. You’ll definitely want to
check out Jessica’s Farewell video! It is AWESOME!!
As Miss Idaho preparing for Miss America in January, I
definitely had my fair share of discouraging days, and these ladies were always
so supportive by sending me facebook messages and texts exactly when I needed
them. I feel SO blessed to have become friends with Jessica and Makenda through
the Miss Idaho Organization, and I hope all of the girls that will be competing
for Miss Idaho 2013 in July will value this great opportunity to make some
incredible friends.
Talk to you all next week!
