Internationals were so much fun, but not without hard work. With appearances at Chicago Boys and Girls Clubs and a tour of the peir contestants still had to practice for the big production. After long days of practicing we had a wonderful dinner and then showtime! Prelims and Finals were great. I felt like I did well and conveyed my style and personality on stage the best I could. I had a great time (and lots of laughs) with my roomie Miss Teen Oklahoma Intl Lyndzee and my pageant director Lauri! Thank you guys for helping me get ready for the pageant. Lyndzee, thanks for the big Oklahoma hair and sparklyness. Lauri, thank you for helping me get into the right clothes at the right time and for the many food detours :) I only got to see Mrs Oklahoma Inlt Rachel for a couple minutes because she had a plane to catch home as her pageant finished, but it was good to see her too. I also got to meet Jayna Altman Miss International 2008 she was amazing and very nice. She will hopefully be attending the Mrs Oklahoma pageant in March. I can't wait to see her again. All in all it was a great experience and I'm so blessed with many great new friends in my life.
