Happy Friday the 13th!!
.
The past two weeks have been a whirlwind—LOTS going on in Miss GA-land! After I finished my photo shoot with Matt and Meredith Boyd, I began a week of preparation for the Miss Cobb County Pageant. For those of you who may not know, the Miss Cobb Board is the reason I began competing 5 years ago, and they have been a huge addition to my family and an even bigger blessing in my life ever since. Just as is tradition for the Miss Cobb folks after a night of rehearsal, we all congregated at the Marietta Diner on Wednesday night for some much needed catching up. The Diner is famous for its cakes, so don’t be alarmed-- I didn’t finish it all by myself! J **To the Miss Cobb County Board and supporters, I love each and every one of you so much!!
.
Thursday, August 5th was Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day. I spent my Miracle Treat Day at DQ in Columbus, GA where I greeted customers and delivered Blizzards and Icees to the children at Columbus Regional Hospital. The hospital volunteers were able to pack up 512 DQ treats for the patients—LOTS of smiles in the hospital that day! **Thank you to everyone who participated in DQ Miracle Treat Day and especially Jennifer Joyner (Children’s Miracle Network coordinator for Columbus Regional) and Miss Columbus, Cassie Lee who helped me all day!
.
Friday, I had my FIRST voice lesson on my Miss America talent selection! It was so exciting to finally work on my new music—still a surprise!
.
Later that evening, I had the privilege of attending dinner with the Miss Cobb Board and the 2011 judges at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse—compliments of Terry Chandler. It was SO much fun, and I enjoyed once again being in the presence of some of my dearest friends. Casy looked fabulous as always on her last evening as Miss Cobb, and I remember so well the bittersweet emotions of letting that special title go. **Thank you Terry for a fantastic dinner and everyone who attended!
.
Saturday was the big night—Miss Cobb 2011! That afternoon, I had my hair styled by Michael at Julio Cesar Salon and Spa in Buckhead. **Thank you to the crew at Julio Cesar!!
.
I had an incredible evening at the pageant and performed my Miss GA talent selection once more. **Congratulations to my new Miss Cobb County sister, Briana Jewett!! You are beautiful inside and out, and I am so excited to watch you grow this year. You have an amazing support team on your side!
.
Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending my Outstanding Teen, Camille Sims’ MAOT Send-Off Party. She was absolutely stunning as ever, and I can’t wait to watch her rock the MAOT stage! **GOOD LUCK, CAMILLE! I just know you will do Georgia (and America) proud! ;)
.
A couple days ago, I did a photo shoot for Kennesaw State University’s paper “The Sentinel.” **Thank you Noel Madali for a wonderful time (despite the heat) on KSU’s beautiful campus!
.
I’ve got a full day of traveling and fun tomorrow, so that’s all for now! If you’re near Columbus, GA (August 14th), be sure and stop by the new Crowning Moments store! Bring your little princesses too, and I’ll be there from 11-2.

Love,
Christina
