A. I'm infatuated with Mascots
B. I can pack for any and all weather in one suitcase. No Seriously! Snow, sleet, rain, heat....
In the past few weeks I've encountered every kind of mascot and every kind of weather! As you can see I have a soft spot for the Herbie Husker mascot, but also struck a pose with Stormy, Spike and even clowns!
In addition to hanging out with mascots I promise I have been busy with appearances and dodging the tempestuous weather. Promise! To call Nebraska weather schizophrenic is an understatement. In the span of a week, I reported in 60 degree weather in Lincoln and then on the way to North Platte I drove 45 miles per hour on the interstate as the first snow of the season came down. 16 inches of wintery goodness to be exact!
It has been a hectic but incredibly fun past 2 weeks. As always, I had a wonderful time making appearances for some of the Miss Nebraska sponsors. Viearo Wireless is a large supporter of the Miss Nebraska program in addition to sponsoring the Tri-City Storm Hockey Team in Kearney, thus I got to hang out at the rink signing autographs, greeting fans and posing with Stormy. The next day the fabulous sponsor Mr. Bob Spady invited me to attend to the Kids Fun Festival in North Platte.
Some other highlights included being a keynote speaker on Self-Esteem and presenting my Uniquely ME program at the Nebraska State Student Council Convention in Ogallala. I was so impressed with the 1,000 high school students who attended because of their enthusiasm for service. Speaking of enthusiasm, I literally got goosebumps listening to other keynote speaker, Johnathon Sprinkles talk about the importance of individuality. A-MAZING.
In between appearances I managed to fit in some reporting time at Channel 8.
I'm always incredibly humbled and touched when I get to cover any story involving our service men and women. I was honored to get to report on a send off for a Nebraska Army National Guard unit. The unit was deploying to Afghanistan as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I got to speak with the soldiers as well as their friends and family. I was and am, so very thankful for their service to our country.
I even got to mesh my job as reporter/Miss Nebraska and cover the "Ochos" aka the lady reporter at Channel 8, as they walked in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer"walk in Lincoln. It was truly touching to listen to survivors share their story of hope and awareness.
Rounding out the past 2 weeks I ventured to Denver for interview preparation and more shopping! There's plenty more on the calendar, and the Miss Nebraska ride is winterized and ready to barrel through whatever crazy weather comes my way...rain, snow, sleet, tornadoes :)
Much love,
Brittany
