On the arrival day, after our Tony Bowls shots, we got to go to video recording. Funny story...So I wore a green shirt, but I did not know that they were using a green screen. They told me that I could not wear a green shirt because I would be this floating head on screen. It was then that I began looking frantically for another shirt to wear. However, Miss Mississippi's Outstanding Teen, Laura Lee Lewis, was in the same boat. She had a darling blue shirt to wear and she let me borrow it too. Laura Lee became of one my best friends during pageant week!
Later that night, we had this huge dinner and party. Our DJ was from MTV and boy, did we have one sweet dance party! That night, I had to say goodbye to my mother and was handed over to the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Program. I made sure to call her every single night. I love my mom, she's the best! I also got to meet my roomie for the week. She was New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen, Katrina Rossi. She is absolutely incredible and I love being around her! I could not have asked for a better roomate. All in all, the party was fabulous start to such an exciting week!
Miss Florida's OT, Miss Massachusetts' OT, Miss Virgin Island's OT, and Me!
