Brittany...: #13 in NYC

some people are settling down, some people are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less then BuTTeRfLiEs....
In the spirit of my trek to New York I HAD to throw in a good "Sex & the City Quote!" The trip was a whirl wind but absolutely, positively, undeniably one of the best trips ever. period.

I checked a lot of items off of my Miss America preparation list which was the main purpose of the venture. I shopped, shopped, shopped and walked, walked, walked (yes Marianne, I gave in and actually wore flats for a change!). In addition to bolstering the wardrobe for Vegas, we worked on preparations for my talent and got to do some touristy site seeing. Mamma Mia on Broadway rocked my socks off by the way!

I also picked my competition order for Miss America aka "The draft." I sat on my hotel bed prepared and ready to wait for 4 hours before my state was drawn and then ...SHA BAM...Nebraska popped up on the screen! I had 4 minutes to decide my placement but really, it was a quick and painless decision, no strategizing. I went with my instinct and I am lucky number 13 in the MU group. This means I have interview Monday morning, onstage question on Tuesday, Swimsuit/Evening Gown on Wednesday and perform my dance on Thursday night. Yah!! It's so real now, in four months I will be competing on the Miss America Stage. There are no words. Dream come true, dancing around the room!

Another major highlight of the trip was meeting with Gretchen Carlson, FOX news anchor and former Miss America, for coffee!!! I was seriously on cloud 9, Gretchen was so incredibly open and real and funny. All in all, I couldn't have asked for slash, imagined a more amazing trip.

My body is now very confused on what time zone I am on but I'm back to zooming around Nebraska :)
