Hey! This week was busy with a capital B! On Friday night, I was at the 3rd Annual Masquerade Ball hosted by Jobs for Arizona’s Graduates and the Tempe YMCA. I was a guest speaker, and I also got to model a beautiful $6,000 diamond necklace that was being raffled off. Sadly, I didn’t win, so I had to give it up at the end of the night. Oh, well!

The next day, I spoke at an event for the West Valley Advocacy Center that was held at the Glendale Public Library. The event was an all-day safety fair to promote R.A.D., which stands for Rape Aggression Defense. It’s basically a self-defense program for adults, but there is also a radKIDS program for children. They are both GREAT programs that I was proud to promote.

On Monday, I had the second day of filming for the video being used at the conference in California this weekend. Then Tuesday, I spoke at Cactus High School… my old stompin’ grounds! I graduated from there in 2003, so it was really fun to be back at home and speak to the students there. Once a Cactus Cobra, always a Cactus Cobra!

Then, in my spare time, it was working out with my trainer, working out on my own, and then maybe a little more working out. Gotta get ready for swimsuit! I also am practicing my talent song daily and keeping my voice strength up for January.
So all in all, it was a great week. I’m just trying to enjoy being Miss Arizona while it lasts… it’s already been 4 months!

Talk to you in a few days!
