A Month in the Life....Updates!!

Time is FLYING by as I try to enjoy every moment of being Mrs South Carolina 2011, while simultaneously preparing for what is sure to be the competition of my life: Mrs International! My work with Ronald McDonald House keeps me incredibly busy as does my "other" job as the VP of DanceSport Carolina. I am happy to share that the newest home in Charlotte NC has officially opened and is housing families! I was able to speak at the grand opening as well as be the first to officially "open" the house to the public. It was very humbling! As for DanceSport Carolina, we are undergoing some MAJOR changes and growth that will all take place over the next few months. I can't share too much now, but will in the future...I promise! :) In addition to those two "hats" I was recently name the official face and "smile" of one of the most prominent dentist's in the country! My ad campaign for him begins June 1 and I can't wait!

My student and I at our last competition

I mentioned training for the Mrs International pageant, but can't forget to mention that the week prior I will be flying to Vegas to compete in a National Pro-Am Smooth Championship! Training is getting pretty intense as I prepare myself and my student to try and take home a National Pro-Am title! We will be competing in the Open American Smooth Championship. For the non-dancers out there, that means the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and V.Waltz championship!

Mr. South Carolina and I on vacation!

On a personal note, I was able to combine a week of appearances with some quality family time when my parents visited and we spent a few days in Charleston, SC in early May! I was able to visit and spend some time taking photos and signing autographs at various historic sites and tourist attractions, while enjoying incredible meals, sight-seeing, and conversation with the people I love most in this world...talk about the dream vacation!

Well, I think that is all for now. Until next time...

So grateful to be, Mrs SC International 2011
