Today is the day the competition begins!

This morning, I woke up bright and early to get ready for my interview with the judges. One of my hostesses picked me up from my room at 9:00 and brought me down to the first holding room. There were actually a series of three holding spaces before I finally got to meet the judges for the first time.

It was incredible. The interview was very well balanced. I was able to talk about my platform, my opinions on current issues facing our nation, and most importantly, they truly got to know me. So happy to check the interview off my list! What a positive way to start off the competition!
Tonight, I competed in swimsuit and evening gown. I wore the jet black Deauville design from Miss America's new swimsuit sponsor, Kompliqué. I also wore the absolute love-of-my-life-gown from The Pageant Shop. Yes, I went with the periwinkle gown that I wore at Miss Minnesota. While I did have another gown designed for Miss America, I could not get the periwinkle gown out of my head. That gown is one hundred percent "Natalie," and that is what needed to be showcased on the Miss America stage. I am so happy with my performance so far on the Miss America stage, and I CANNOT WAIT to compete in my favorite (tied with interview) area of competition, talent, tomorrow night!
