Schools Galore

School is almost out for the summer and guess what that means? Field trips, awards nights and school assemblies. Cue: MISS NEBRASKA

That's right, its a busy time of the year (when isn't really?!) for Miss Nebraska appearances! I've been tooling around to all of the nooks and crannies of the state visiting many incredible schools. Meeting all of the educators and faculty is so much fun and its a blast to be welcomed with open arms into schools all across the state to share my message on individuality and leadership. However, it's kiddos that keep the job interesting! They are always so inquisitive and ask the best questions....both thought provoking and humorous. I've decided kindergartner's are the best at keeping me on my toes! Any way, back by popular demand I have decided to add to the list of questions I have received the past few weeks. Enjoy!

: Do you have a dog? My family has a little Lhasa apso named Jessie. This was quickly followed by how old is your dog? Has your dog ever been hurt? Does your dog bite? Do you sleep with your dog? My dogs name is Ernie...so on and so forth :)

: Are you more country or more city? I'm a mix of both, I'm a small town girl with big city dreams!

: How many speeding tickets have you got? None thank goodness! We won't mention the warnings! KIDDING

: Again, are you married/have kids? No way jose

: Were you scared when you were competing? I had a major adrenaline rush but it was more excited butterflies as opposed to nerves.

: Were the contestants nice? They were better than that, they were amazing! I keep in touch with a lot of them regularly.

: Do your feet hurt wearing those shoes? I can run, haul 4 bags, a computer case, dance shoes and balance a crown on my head in these shoes! But yes, I'm flat footed so they get a little sore at the end of the day.

: Whats your favorite color? Sparkly

: Have you met Ndamukong Suh? Unfortunately my shout out to him at Miss America didn't get me a meeting, but I still have my fingers crossed!

: Do you wear your crown when you report the news? Nope, I hang up the tiara.

: Can you yodel? (Sidenote: Miss Nebraska 2008 Gretchen Bergquist is a phenomenal singer and can also yodel! Something the kids have not forgotten about from her appearances last year! ) NO..but sometimes I try to give them my best attempt :)

: Do you get to keep the crown when you are done? I sure do

: Does your mom know you are Miss Nebraska? I think she has caught on! Just teasing, Momma Lisa is the best mom ever. She keeps me organized and moving in the right direction, plus hugs and long car ride phone conversations.

:Are you on facebook...followed by can I text you? Wait...what? Aren't you 5 years old? Yes I'm on facebook! Friend me!

: Do you ever sleep in the crown? No, aside from the night that I won! But I do have a retainer..hot.
