This week was one of my most memorable yet as Miss Massachusetts USA! I got the chance to spend the week with some of the people who mean the most to me, my mom, my directors and my teen Brooke and her mom, as we headed to NYC for some work and fun :) I was so excited because my mom flew all the way from California just to be with me and help me pick out the dress of my dreams :) She truly is my best friend and it meant so much to have her there.
Tuesday started bright and early as my mom and I headed to meet my directors, Laurie and Anthony, to start the Miss USA dress hunt. I am such a lucky girl because my dress sponsors, Maria and Raquel, from the Crowning Touch were there every second of the way to help me find the perfect dress! It meant so much to me to have all of them there and it was such a fun memory! I was a little nervous because I had a picture of my dream dress in my head and I wasn't sure if I would find it, but I did!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more ecstatic and grateful and the minute I stepped out of the dressing room we knew it was THE one. It was such a special moment to have all these people here with me and as Anthony put it, "That's a Wrap!"
As if the day couldn't get any better, I then got to meet up with my teen Brooke and her mom. They are truly like a second family to me and make every step of my journey as Miss Massachusetts USA that much better. People always ask Brooke and I if we are sisters and even though we aren't we feel like we are!! I love every minute I get with Brooke because we truly are two peas in a pod :) Our titles mean so much to us and while it is such a great adventure we both want to do such wonderful things and truly give back to all the people who have helped us along the way and to the state we love! Having a sister queen with the same values, heart and work ethic that I hope to have everyday is such a blessing! Two truly is better than one and together this year Brooke and I plan to do so many wonderful things and really use our titles in a positive way! She has become not only family but one of my very best friends and I love her so much!! I can't wait to cheer her on at Teen USA and spend more time with her wonderful family!
Brooke, being the amazing sister she is got me an audition for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week so Tuesday night we headed over for the big audition!! It went so well and we had such a wonderful night! NYC Fashion week this year is on my birthday, so crossing my fingers that will bring me some good luck and Brooke and I will book some shows together!! I'll keep you posted! But either way, it was such a wonderful trip and I truly couldn't ask for more!!
