Well, I went to Las Vegas last Tuesday for the premier of “Rocky Balboa.” It was fantastic! Twenty of the Miss America contestants got to go, so it was great to hang out with them one last time before the pageant in January. The movie was great, and it was so fun to walk on the red carpet being photographed by onlookers as well as the media. During the after-party, I got my picture taken with Robin Leech from “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and with Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone. Okay, so only half of my face got in the picture with Sly, but hey, it’s better than nothing!

Thursday night, December 22nd I sang the National Anthem at the Coyotes game. But it gets better... the Coyotes were playing the Edmonton Oilers, so I got to sing the Canadian Anthem, too! It was really fun to hear everyone singing along with the Canadian Anthem... I guess there were a lot of Oilers fans there! I signed autographs during the first intermission and second period, and it was fun to meet some of the hockey fans. It was my first hockey game ever, and I don’t know how I can top it!

Well, I’m off to do some shopping and errands. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!
