<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">BOO AT THE ZOO!</span> <br />
My first official appearance as Miss Utah's Outstanding Teen was at the annual Hogle Zoo sponsored "Boo at the Zoo." I couldn't have imagined a better way to begin my year! I was introduced to Gary Summers, the marketing president for Meadow Gold and he is delightful man. He is very gracious and does so much for the Miss Utah & MUOT Organizations. Danica and I were dressed as Fairy Princesses and I loved my costume! We spent the day signing autographs and greeting all of the kids that came to the zoo, all dressed up for trick or treating. <br />

November 8th, 2011</div>I had the incredible opportunity of attending the Pro Hoops Make-A-Wish benefit basketball game with Danica a couple of weeks ago. What a phenomenal experience that was also very humbling and amazing. I met some Make-A-Wish kids, who have stories that are very inspiring. These kids are true champions. Among the athletes I got to meet were, Jimmer Fredette, Ronni Price, and a couple of Utah Jazz players. Even though meeting professional athletes was fun, the true stars of the night were the children having their wishes granted. It was amazing to see so much support for the Make-A-Wish foundation. <br />

On November 11th, Meadow Gold invited us to attend the Ream's in Springville's annual Holiday Open House. There were hundreds of people throughout the night and it was so much fun! We got to be involved in the trivia game for all of the kids in attendance. The manager of the store would ask a "Christmas related" trivia question over the intercom and then kids would run to us with the answer. It was so fun to see their excitement! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctjMIt0V4SgU57dv4GG9AqARqEJJoP8g3dtgj74UgxY3Lcz-BQUJjdRqftTCRofK4uSYeYe6C4CLCJI7cjmM5Q3oZw499kdxH3J3XG6iup9YdT2n3saojQd8-cWUsJW5gbMqPIaAG7yOp/s1600/IMG_8350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctjMIt0V4SgU57dv4GG9AqARqEJJoP8g3dtgj74UgxY3Lcz-BQUJjdRqftTCRofK4uSYeYe6C4CLCJI7cjmM5Q3oZw499kdxH3J3XG6iup9YdT2n3saojQd8-cWUsJW5gbMqPIaAG7yOp/s320/IMG_8350.JPG" width="201" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257521909132198578.post-57174796318965740672011-10-19T19:44:00.001-06:002011-10-19T19:45:06.986-06:00Photo Shoot for Meadow Gold DairiesI LOVE PROMO SHOOTS!

She is quite a phenomenal young woman, she was valedictorian of her graduating high school class in May and is attending Dixie State College now. I was so impressed with all 5 girls and it was a fun night for sure! I was even given the chance to sing!!

At the end of the awards, they presented Christina and I with beautiful flowers and balloons as a thank you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzbfeCvUyAnUwLOX7402h2eRFW8Wx9PP1wRGXZYwSGgCFNsylIK2fxOL-5-gfXyP_iV-6N9oPw_0USziOelezuFUfu1bkftzQmVzvFHD_zFEQ8gya4eiXdgpqyjQbjBUsm-UTm1Qfc1aQ/s1600/IMG_6824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzbfeCvUyAnUwLOX7402h2eRFW8Wx9PP1wRGXZYwSGgCFNsylIK2fxOL-5-gfXyP_iV-6N9oPw_0USziOelezuFUfu1bkftzQmVzvFHD_zFEQ8gya4eiXdgpqyjQbjBUsm-UTm1Qfc1aQ/s320/IMG_6824.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1g2hetSW8u3IaxKKvw5_rD6v_xLkYCDtPxo6wqkiYJ_dDiNpSwVn73Lk5XP6EmOAWPW3LOFtTiZ_OHONee6rO6D5Y2b2wHtogjt7iD91nCip49qwoCEA4wr1SIwGMPc_fWeu1wMdE3q9b/s1600/IMG_6827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1g2hetSW8u3IaxKKvw5_rD6v_xLkYCDtPxo6wqkiYJ_dDiNpSwVn73Lk5XP6EmOAWPW3LOFtTiZ_OHONee6rO6D5Y2b2wHtogjt7iD91nCip49qwoCEA4wr1SIwGMPc_fWeu1wMdE3q9b/s320/IMG_6827.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>February 17-19th</strong>- I traveled to Denver, Colorado to compete in the 2011 Grand Prix Dance competition.

We were guests of Meadow Gold, we got to hand out delicious samples of Meadow Gold products an got to taste lots of food from other vendors. We both had to be brave though because we were set up in the freezer/refrigeration section of the store and we were both freezing!! But we'd do anything for Gary and the amazing people at Meadow Gold & Associated Foods! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I traveled with my mom, MUOT director Amy and her mom to Vegas on Tuesday. As quickly as we could drop our suitcases off- we were headed to the Planet Hollywood Hotel to pick up our special guest for the week- Jeanette Morelan, Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2010. She was my roommate for the week! We quickly picked her up- headed back to the condo and began getting ready for the FIRST night of preliminary competition. My "big-sister" Christina was awesome in swimsuit and evening gown! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKLpe7eshUwxdcc-tKuFHKQHRB2kN_Yhvt8VKyIJjs6fv7EIg4tKcT1KU9cFOv9Hs_bSN4mo9lbhIABdhCwUP2WDoO-6kaQjWrZ55B1X6aFnqOacY9evPLUGbGFngUPZOBCu7BhDzvbES/s1600/IMG_6650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKLpe7eshUwxdcc-tKuFHKQHRB2kN_Yhvt8VKyIJjs6fv7EIg4tKcT1KU9cFOv9Hs_bSN4mo9lbhIABdhCwUP2WDoO-6kaQjWrZ55B1X6aFnqOacY9evPLUGbGFngUPZOBCu7BhDzvbES/s400/IMG_6650.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The next day we spent most of our time shopping inside what is called the "trade show." It's a fabulous gathering of top pageant gown retailers and designers...any pageant girls' dream! I tried on countless gowns...it was pretty exhausting if you want to know the truth! We took a break for lunch and then shopped in the Miracle Mile Mall before heading back to get ready for the evening. Second night of preliminary competitions! Christina performed her vocal piece, beautifully! She sang "Footprints in the Sand" and it gave us all goosebumps! She looked so pretty and I was so excited for her. We met up with her in visitation afterwards to congratulate her on such a great performance. After visitation we decided to go to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream...sadly we arrived just minutes after it closed. Amy didn't want to give in so easily...so she leaned against the glass front door with her bottom lip out. The owner of the store thought it was hilarious and opened up just for us!! Amy told her who Jeanette and I were and she immediately asked to take a picture with us! She was a darling woman and I was thankful she let us be customers that night.</div></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZh8BLKdlb2Iqnrc5kRKEMZ9EBIB0I_r3GTnXEEKPuP5JX1UmnIoZJer3nDni9I66Qb-eAwztnXJ9zB7nsYoMT1wKsOwIRIVY4Ygb7Ik77amAHZBoTFnn-MX8djnAX9T8FiD6453osnAI8/s1600/IMG_6660+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZh8BLKdlb2Iqnrc5kRKEMZ9EBIB0I_r3GTnXEEKPuP5JX1UmnIoZJer3nDni9I66Qb-eAwztnXJ9zB7nsYoMT1wKsOwIRIVY4Ygb7Ik77amAHZBoTFnn-MX8djnAX9T8FiD6453osnAI8/s400/IMG_6660+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Thursday was filled with more shopping...and more shopping! But, I am happy to say that I found both my interview outfit <em>and</em> evening gown for Miss America's Outstanding Teen in August!! Nothing better than having that feeling! My gown is beautiful and so different from what I had originally pictured...but its AMAZING. Thanks to David and Carry and <a href="http://www.regalia.org/">Regalia Magnificent Apparel</a> for their generous sponsorship!<br />
<br />
Friday was so much fun! I was able to meet up with some friends from the Cinderella Pageant circle and shared a fun breakfast with them. After that, we went to the Miss America "Show Me Your Shoes" parade...SO MUCH FUN! Christina looked incredible and we loved cheering her on! <br />

I of course LOVE Christina and I knew she was going to do well and when her name was called as a finalist we all started screaming and jumping up and down! She was beaming on stage and looked so amazing! The rest of the night I was trying to soak up all of the excitement in the theatre and just kept cheering as long as Christina was on stage. When the new Miss America was crowned- the entire place went crazy! It was certainly a memorable moment. I could not believe she was only 17, a year older than me and the same age as Miss America's Outstanding Teen! Teresa (new Miss A) was certainly deserving of the title and I know she will do a fantastic job this year! After the pageant, we got to see Christina again and she was SO happy and so energetic. We brought her chocolate and she was SO READY for some! I loved seeing her attitude and her positivity about the entire experience.

I was lucky enough to attend Christina's send off celebration for Miss America. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for her! She looks absolutely amazing, speaks so brilliantly and exudes charm and beauty. Her gowns are stunning and she is going to be amazing at Miss America! I gave her a gift and quickly snuck in for a picture- she had so many family members and friends there to wish her luck! I know she will feel the support from everyone in Utah over the next 2 weeks and I can't wait to cheer her on! <br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful and joyous Holiday season! I was in heaven this year, having my family close and friends around. I was surprised for my birthday and Christmas by getting a Kitchen Aid mixer- something I have wanted for a couple of years!

I was able to meet some of the contestants and had a nice time getting to know some of the local directors as well. One of the exciting parts of the day was participating in the "What Not to Wear" fashion show. The Miss Utah Board of Directors wanted to have a fun and informative way to show contestants what outfits are "good & bad" to wear as you compete for the title of Miss Utah. There were 10 models, all showcasing different outfits, gowns and swimwear. I was able to the <u>BAD</u> example for appearence wardrobe... <br />

It was such a fun day! We were a little frightened that the weather would be bad, but thankfully we didn't have rain and snow to worry about. We signed hundreds of autographs and smiled for countless pictures! The little kids were so cute and we loved seeing all of their fun and creative costumes.

The interview itself was about 10 minutes and will air on SFCN, channel 17 sometime next week. She was very, very nice and we had a great time talking about the plans I have for the upcoming year and the experiences I've had thus far. She invited me to come back throughout the year and I am already looking forward to the next time we get to visit!<br />

On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to meet with Gary Summers from Meadow Gold and Boyd Lithgow with Associated Food Stores, for a photo shoot. The pictures taken will be for autograph cards and marketing banners that I will use as Miss Utah's Outstanding Teen. It was such a fun experience...Gary and Boyd were so nice and I know I'm going to LOVE the pictures! <br />
I was able to go to Veronica Michael's (our awesome dress sponsor) and pick out a few dresses for the shoot. I loved playing dress up! Watch for any upcoming Meadow Gold events!! <br />

It has truly been an opportunity of a lifetime. This program honestly inspires young women to find their best selves and to make change in their communities, state, and nation. I am so grateful that the title of Miss Utah’s Outstanding Teen has forever changed who I am. <br />
<br />
This year has been filled with exciting opportunities such as fancy galas, fundraising for cancer and education foundations, handing out milk with the wonderful ladies from Meadow Gold, and speaking to students in schools across Utah. <br />
Two years ago, I started a program called the Buddy Box. The Buddy Box is an anonymous way for students to leave notes for the school counselor or administrator notifying them that their friend or they are having a problem. It has been a blessing to take the Buddy Box program throughout Utah. The Buddy Box is now in 600 schools and available to over 350,000 students. I am very humbled by the many students whose lives have been changed because of the Buddy Box, as well as by the students who have the courage to get their friends the help they need. Many people have donated their time and money to make the Buddy Box program possible, I will forever be grateful for you.<br />
<br />
This year would not have been possible without the love, help, and support of so many. Thank you to all of the sponsors of this amazing program: Jenn Putnam at Utah State University for generously providing me with my scholarships for school; Veronica Michael's for dressing me from head to toe with beautiful gowns; Gary Summers for a cash scholarship and for all of the fun times at Hoogle Zoo, and Thanksgiving Point; and Highlite Studio for making me look spectacular in all of my pictures. All of these sponsors have been so kind and have made this year wonderful. <br />
<br />
I would also like to thank the many people who have come into my life this past year and have dedicated their time, patience, and love to help me. Amy, my fabulous director, I loved spending time with you shopping, playing with make-up, and laughing until we cried. Whitney and Christina, thank you for being my big sisters. Thanks also to Renita, Gene, Raichellene, Taewa, Jackie, Vanessa, Kayla, Meredith, and the entire Utah Board. All of you are so amazing and I greatly appreciate all of the help and support that you have given me.<br />
<br />
I also want to thank my family. It was such a blessing to look out at Miss America’s Outstanding Teen and see nineteen of my family members cheering me on and to know that many more were home supporting me and praying in my behalf. Amy, thank you for all of the laughs and good times, I would have to say that you are my favorite sister; Cory, thank you for your encouragement and for always taking the time to tell me that I am beautiful; Shane, thank you for always making me laugh when things got tough, and for being so willing to come and support me. I know how rough that is for a fourteen year old boy! It is finally your year at last, buddy!; Mallin, thank you for all of your love and support. You are such a blessing to me, and I am so glad that I had you with me on this journey; Dad, Thank you so much for spending days cutting slots in the Buddy Boxes and for always being there for me; Mom, thank you for your love and support, and for always encouraging me to be my best. I will never forget the endless hours spent driving across the state together and stopping at our favorite donut shops. Words cannot describe the love and appreciation that I have for each and every one of you. <br />
<br />
I would especially like to thank my Heavenly Father. None of this would have been possible without Him. There have been many times this year when I have been blessed beyond measure. He has always been there by my side, and I hope that His light has been able to shine through me. I am forever grateful for Him. <br />
<br />
To all of the contestants here tonight, I want you to know that you are all amazing young women, and I hope that being involved in this organization has shaped a bit of who you are today. To the next Miss Utah’s Outstanding Teen, don’t miss a moment of this experience. It will change your life forever. Work hard, and never give up. You can make a difference and you will change the lives of so many. Make this year what you want it to be. <br />
<br />
Life is filled with endless possibilities. Dare to dream and make each day your masterpiece!<br />
