Miss Pearl City: Miss Iowa Week: Day One

And so it begins! I finally got connected to the Wi-Fi. Whew.

Yesterday was day one of a busy, amazing week. After moving into our hotel rooms, we went to the “Show us Your Shoes” opening event! That was a great way to greet each other and spend some time with our family and supporters before the craziness begins.

We had supper and a meeting with our personal assistants after the welcoming event. Those ladies can cook!!! I had a little bit of lasagna… No regrets. They are also the sweetest and kindest ladies you’ll ever meet.

After we ate we went down for rehearsal with Ken, the producer. He is hilarious! Thank goodness he is so entertaining or else those three hour, late night rehearsals wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable. We learned our walking patterns for competition and the opening number. I would say it was a pretty productive evening!

I got late night workout in and CRASHED!

This morning we are packing meals for Kids Against Hunger. For lunch, we will go to Senior Star retirement home to visit with and perform for the residents. After that, we have another service project at Ridgecrest. We have an afternoon rehearsal, dinner, and then a BASEBALL GAME! I’m super excited about that, if you can’t tell. Sounds like a great day to me!

Here are some photos from yesterday!

Until tomorrow,
