What a weekend!

The Mrs. Missouri United States 2011 pageant was held May 21-22, 2011 in St. Joseph, Missouri.  We all checked in Saturday, met our new pageant family, had orientation, took photos, and started rehearsing!  The pageant is held along side the Mrs. Kansas United States pageant so we got to spend time with the Kansas contestants as well.  What a great, inspiring, beautiful group of women!  http://www.vanbros.com/unitedstates/mo_contestants.html

The day started early on Sunday with the interview portion of the pageant.  I think all the contestants came out smiling!   After a break for lunch we all headed to the Historic Missouri Theater for rehearsals.  Before we knew it... It was show time!!

I am truly, truly honored to be the new Mrs. Missouri United States!  The pageant weekend was so much fun.  The prize package is out of the world!  My adventure continued bright and early Monday morning with a fashion photo shoot fit for a queen!  Wow, it was SO fun.  John Vannatta, Will Patterson, Lisa Proctor, Brent Peterson, and Kelsey Miller had every single detail covered!  What a way to start my year as Mrs. Missouri United States!
