Happy early Thanksgiving everyone! I can’t believe that the holidays are already here! But I guess the busier you are, the quicker time passes! This past week was another busy one for me! I was able to be part of Brookshire’s Holiday Kickoff Celebration in Monroe, and I saw a lot of the kids I spoke to during Red Ribbon Week. It was incredible to me that so many of them were able to tell me everything about the presentation I had given to their respective schools. They were so cute, and it felt wonderful to know that I had impacted them!

Later in the week, I finished up my Miss America Wardrobe with Jennifer and Dr. Ed. We found the perfect interview and onstage question outfits, and we had a lot of fun shopping for them! Now that we have everything picked out, I’m extremely relieved! And more than anything, I’m getting really excited about wearing it all in Vegas! Thanks for all of your help Jennifer and Dr. Ed!

I finished up the week filming some commercial spots for Suddenlink, in Ruston. We filmed three separate commercials, and they’re going to be shown during the Reality Show telecast in January. I had a great time filming all of them, and I even got to film one with Ms. Judy Burt. We were quite the pair on camera!

Now that Thanksgiving is only a few days away, I’m thankful for my friends and family, and I’m looking forward to spending time with them. But even during the holidays, workouts and voice lessons are still on the agenda! 7 weeks in counting!

Happy November everyone! Since my last post, I finished up an amazing Red Ribbon Week! Then, I traveled to Hammond to sing the National Anthem at the Southeastern vs. McNeese Football Game. It was so much fun getting to be home at my University, seeing so many of my friends and so much of my Southeastern Family!

Now that November has arrived, it’s hard to believe, but my departure for Miss America is only eight weeks away!! So preparations are heavily underway! My talent piece is coming along really well, my workouts are frequent and intense, I’m reading hours of current events every day, and my wardrobe is close to complete. Everything is coming along beautifully, and I’m getting more and more excited about the tremendous experience that lies ahead! Preparing for something of this magnitude has taken my complete dedication and focus, but I feel sure that my hard work will pay off! 

Thank you to all the people who continually keep me on track, encouraging me no matter what and making this experience one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I couldn’t do this without you!

 Love you all,

Blair
