This morning... I overslept! Uh oh! I had 20 minutes to shower, blow dry my hair, throw a few curls in, and grab my make up to put on in the holding room before my Quality of Life interview! I guess if I win Miss America, I'll have to get used to getting ready quickly! I was pretty impressed by my speed! 

I am so thankful for the incredible experience I had this morning: I sat down with three former Miss Americas, Katie Stam, Kellye Cash, and BeBe Shopp-Waring, to share my passion for my platform, "Autism Awareness: The Missing Piece." There are eight incredible Quality of Life Award finalists, and regardless of who places first, it is an honor to have been selected as one of those eight.
After my Quality of Life interview, I had a second interview with Katie Stam, Miss America 2008, Brooke Poklemba, Miss Maryland 2009, and TMG Pageant Network! Check it out!
Later, I headed to the theater for my official talent rehearsal with Chris, Valdez, and Steve, our awesome stage managers. After I rehearsed the first time, I was allowed two minutes to sit and hug my mom, who could hardly speak because she was crying so much! I was so thankful to have that few minutes to sit with my mom and to see how proud she was of me. I love you Mama!

As for the actual talent competition, I could not have been happier! It was the best I had ever performed "Unexpected Song" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I only have 5% of the competition left with on-stage question tomorrow. After that, it is in God's hands. We'll see what happens!

(Below is a photo from the rehearsal earlier in the day. If anyone has photos from the actual competition, please send them my way! Thank you!)
