What a wonderful weekend. I arrived in Hamilton, Mt. on Thursday
night. We went out to eat at a place called the Kodiak (YUM!), the people in Hamilton
are the kindest people!
After we checked into the hotel, Lexi and I decorated out
door!! How fun is it to be in a pageant with my daughter! It is a special
memory for both of us.
On Friday all the contestants that had arrived were able to
go to the local radio station for an interview. After that we all went out for
coffee, then it was time to count seat belts! It is surprising the amount of
people who DO NOT wear their seat belt. Even standing there with a buckle up
sign people still did NOT buckle up! If only they knew the statistics of
wearing your seat belt.
Later that evening there was a parade for the contestants.
Thank you to Mildenberger Motors for the beautiful vehicles we were able to
use!!!
To end the evening we had a special guest who gave a seat
belt presentation. She had lost her son in an auto accident, he was not wearing
his seat belt. It was a very touching story.
We then were treated to massages!!! Just what we needed to
end a wonderful day!
Saturday was just as fun, we started off with our orientation
and gift exchange. Then is was off to the farmers market. The Farmers Market in
Hamilton MT. is one of the BEST Farmers Markets that I’ve been to. Mildenberger
Motors then fixed lunch for us!!! We were given tickets to the Jay Owenhouse
Magic Show, google him…. AMAZING!!! We then had the opportunity to have a photo
shoot with Dostal Photography.
Oh and did I mention the Tim from the pageant cast was there
too!!! Lexi and I both were interviewed by Tim, Who is also a long time pageant
friend of mine!!! It was great to see him again!
Sunday was rehearsal and interview day. I love the interview
part of the pageant. I felt so proud of all that I’ve done with my platform and
to be able to share that with the judges was great! After the interview we had
a break until show time!
Being back on stage was such a great feeling! After always
being the runner-up to hear my named called as America’s SUPER Mrs. Was an
amazing feeling! To have someone crown me was even better! I am so excited to
have this opportunity to talk about seat belts and educate others about the
importance of wearing your seat belt.

It was nice to see family from Ireland, and family I have not seen in a LONG time!
