Mrs. America Week

Mrs. America Week

I cannot yet seem to put into words how thankful I am for the journey that is my reign as Mrs. Indiana and the experience that was Mrs. America. I have never felt so supported, so loved, so cheered for, so prepared for something. I spent my week in Las Vegas with 51 talented, kind, warm, supportive, and accomplished women. I met the Siegals, owners of Westgate and founders of Victoria's Voice Foundation. I dined with Mrs. World and chatted with Mrs. America. I presented a gift to Florence Henderson. I stayed up late talking to my roommate and woke up in the dead of the night to start hair and makeup. I learned how to walk in plastic heels, I sought out the best lighting for pictures, I thanked my amazing sponsors. I represented my state as a peony, our state flower, and I introduced my best friend on stage as my handsome husband. I danced (so much), I ate (both excellent and food-poisoning-inducing), and I laughed. These women inspired me. My family moved me, as I watched them once again drop everything to come see me reach my dreams. I gained new friendships and already miss my sister queens. I think that pictures are usually a better way to explain the unexplainable and to tell the story too long to tell. I had the BEST week in Nevada. Please look through some pictures of my experience. I think that my smile will tell the story of my week at Mrs. America better than any words ever could. See my Facebook or Instagram for more pictures!
