The National Pageant
I am so honored to be headed to Vegas soon to represent Missouri at the Mrs. United States Pageant. The purpose of the pageant is to "honor and pay tribute to the married woman." We all arrive in Vegas on Sunday, July 31st. Interviews take place on Tuesday. The preliminary competition is Wednesday and the final night and crowning of the new Mrs. United States will be Thursday, August 4th. This fabulous week will take place at the Las Vegas Hilton. I am so excited!!
Many friends have asked if the pageant will be televised or webcast. As of now, the answer is no. However, there may be future television broadcast of the pageant. I will keep everyone posted!

Stop Diabetes!
I absolutely LOVE it when people ask me why I am competing for the title of Mrs. United States. Well, my husband and children play a huge role. They are the biggest cheering section and my greatest fans for sure! There is also my mom. She has taken on the name MOMM. This stands for Mother of Mrs. Missouri. They have each encouraged me to compete and think I am a superwoman!
There is a super message I have to spread. It is the real reason why I am competing and would love to be Mrs. United States. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in America. It's huge. It affects so many lives in so many ways. As an optometrist, I talk to people daily about their diabetes, lifestyle, blood sugar control, and the importance of dilated retinal examinations to detect changes to the retina from diabetes. This change to the retina is known as diabetic retinopathy. I want people to know that eye exams for those living with diabetes are SO important. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy saves vision. Diabetes does not have to be the leading cause of blindness in our country.
