"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
Hello again,
This past month has already been SO busy! I love all of the thingsI have been able to do, all in preparation for nationals.
I got to sing a MILLION songs for Sally and Ally, and although I'm sure they were tired of listening to me sing, we narrowed it down from one million, to three songs. Then we went to meet with Sally, Peggy and Mike Miller at the Millers home. It was there the decision was made. "Don't Rain on My Parade" will be the song I perform at Nationals.
We also met to try on a lot of clothes for Sally and Ally, and even though everyone has a different taste, we agreed on several cute outfits for Nationals. The hunt for the perfect dress however, will continue.
Then there was the photo shoot. So much FUN. The pictures turned out AMAZING, not that I'm taking any credit. (: Sally was primping my hair and making sure I had enough gloss to make sure everything was perfect in each photo. She even laid on the floor to hold the equipment just right for the lighting. She did all the hard work. I owe my facial expression to Ally (aka the picture with the mouth wide open at the discussion of boys) Reina, I hope you are reading this so you can have a good laugh. It was HILARIOUS!
I made my first appearance at my pine cone princess, Kennedy's Elementary School. I got to speak about role-models. Getting a chance to promote my platform was really exciting. The kids were very nice and they had me cracking-up. One boy told me his name was Bob, so I spent the entire visit calling him Bob, only to find out his name was James. There was also a boy with a painted mustache. He had me convinced he was thirty, and posing as a second grader.

I am really looking forward to the Miss Washington pageant, and for my next month of adventures.
Even though I'm sure there are many great times yet to come, my last month has been one to remember.
Thank you to all of you who have participated in my preparation for nationals, I REALLY appreciate it!
Infinite X's and O's,
Tori (:
