This past weekend was so much fun! I went to the MAOT Spring Meeting in Heber Springs where I got to meet all of my new sisters. On Saturday we did lots of filming and pictures. Sunday was really exciting because we did the lottery and I go to choose my number for state! I am B33, which means that I will have interview on Wednesday, evening gown and fitness om Thursday, and on Friday I will do talent. Saturday night is the finals and we'll find out who the new Miss Arkansas' Outstanding Teen will be! The dates of competition for the state pageant are June 11-13 and  the national pageant is the last week in July.

Well the time is almost here! Spring meeting is this weekend and MAOT is only 47 short days away! It has been so much fun preparing my talent, interview, and fitness for state. This is going to be a blast :)

Yesterday was such an amazing day! Mom and I went to Little Rock where we shopped for my MAOT wardrobe. The first place we went was Applause. Mr. Rusty was truly so nice and helpful! He really makes me feel like a million bucks! Next we went to Buffie's where we not only found a prom dress, but picked up the fabulous opening number dress for state! The Miss Arkansas Oustanding Teen organization is so blessed with such great sponsors! I'm so glad that I get to be a part of the 2015 MAOT class. Aside from all of the dress shopping we went to Dillard's looking for an Easter dress, but ended up finding a dress that could be a possible choice for arrival! Everything is finally approaching and I couldn't be more exctied. My dream has finally come true👑

Wow! I am so excited and thankful to me named Miss Magnolia's Outstanding Teen 2015! Words cannot describe the feeling I got once my name was announced. The day of competition I was nervous because my interview seemed to have not gone as well as I had hoped, but I guess it turned out to be alright. I had so many family and friends come to Magnolia to watch me compete in my last Miss Arkansas Oustanding Teen preliminary pageant. I can't wait to prepare for state! MAOT here we come :)

The "Lunch Bunch"

Today was a great day! At school our "Lunch Bunch" had a great conversation! I am so happy for all the people that were involved and I hope it effected your life. Our "Lunch Bunch" is a group of people who get together about once a week and talk about bullies in our lives now or in the past, without saying names of course. One girl was so happy that together we helped her learn how to stand up for herself in certain situations that will hopefully stop the bullies in her life. Together the Lunch bunch can help better one persons life at a time and I am so glad I was able to start the little organization to help friends in school.
