Miss Pearl City: Hit the ground running!

What a week! That's right it has ONLY been a week since I was crowned Miss Pearl City but it has been a productive one! In this past week I was able to meet so many new people and already have two appearances. The first person I met on the Muscatine team was Jon Hunt from 8 one 8 fitness.

I am very excited to get back in the gym and training with him for the Miss Iowa stage!
To go a long with the killer workouts I am going to be doing, I was also able to meet Jennifer Lintz our nutritionist for the year. She provided wonderful meal plans and ideas that will have me rock the Miss Iowa stage. I am going to listen to every word she says as she has won herself three preliminary lifestyle and fitness awards at Miss Iowa.

My week ended with a few appearances, on Friday I was able to visit the Performing Arts Preschool at the Nolte Academy where I work. It was an absolute joy to see their excitement and answer all their wonderful questions! We talked about the four points of the crown and they all got to try on my crown and see my wardrobe!

Saturday, I was able to meet with Dewayne Hopkins, the Mayor of Muscatine, at City Hall. We had a wonderful conversation on both of our histories and the history of Muscatine. He explained to me all the festivities I should attend during my year and we discussed how I can increase the awareness of the March of Dimes in the community of Muscatine! I am very excited to work with him this year in making all my goals a reality.

Lastly, Kristen, Stacy and I were invited to help out at the Bridal Expo in Muscatine. Here we were interviewed by a Muscatine Reporter and we helped behind the scenes of the Bridal Fashion Show. All of the models were great and it was a joy to help them feel beautiful and get them stage ready. My favorite part of the day was being able to get to know my Miss Muscatine sisters! We had time to just talk and get to know each other, we helped others and we snuck in some time to hit the photo booth!
