Happy Halloween Everyone! Red Ribbon week is almost over (one day left!), and I have had sooo much fun going to the schools in Ouachita Parish to talk to the students about being drug free. It’s been super busy, but so fulfilling! I have been extremely impressed with all of the schools I have attended. The students have been some of the sweetest and most attentive I’ve ever come across! And the teachers and administrators have been so welcoming and accomodating. A special thank you goes out to my traveling companions this week too, because it’s been just as busy for you! Ms. Lynn, Ms. Sandy, and Ms. Debbie, you’re the best! Another special thank you goes out to Ms. Judy and Rapid Signs of Ruston, because the beautiful posters I’ve been lucky enough to use have made a tremendous impact on the students I’ve spoken to.

I have another busy week ahead of me, so full speed ahead! I’ll let you all know how it goes! Remember to eat some Halloween candy for me!

Home from L.A. and things are still moving full speed! After returning from the Reality Series filming, I attended the Miss Shreveport Pageant and had a blast getting to cheer all of the contestants on!  Then, I went home to Tangipahoa Parish for a special proclamation- the parish honored me and declared October 14th “Blair Abene Day.”  How cool!  Shortly after that, I got a few days off from my Miss LA duties to take a family trip for my Brother’s Culinary School Graduation in New York!  He is officially a Culinary Institute of America Alumnus and Pastry Chef!  Yay Blake!

Today, I started my school tour for Red Ribbon Week.  All of the kids were been so cute and well-behaved! I’m looking forward to continuing my school appearances throughout the coming week!  Having such precious audiences has made this part of my job so easy and enjoyable!

I’ll let you know how next week goes!

Hi Everyone! I am really glad to be home, but I had an absolutely amazing time filming the reality show. As I told you all during my time in L.A., the days were extremely long and often really exhausting. But during those long days and nights, I was able to make some unbelieveable friends, that I know I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life! We had so much fun on and off camera, and although it’s nice to be home, I miss those girls already!

Now that the filming is over, I am excited to see the show that we created! But I’m even more excited about continuing my preparations for Miss America and attending the preliminaries of the 2009 pageant season! Back to work!

Well, I have to start unpacking… Whew, that’s going to take a while! But I hope to see you all soon! Thank you for your encouragement and support during these last few weeks!
