Miss America 2010

I was so lucky to be able to attend two nights of preliminary competition and the finals of Miss American 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kristen Blair did an amazing job representing Texas. Kristen and I were in the same group this year at Miss Texas so I got to spend some time getting to know her. She truly is an inspiration to me. Kristen has the ability to make you feel so special because she really does care. She has a heart the size of Texas and is just an incredibly warm and outgoing person.

After seeing Kristen at her wardrobe show I really thought she was going to be Miss America. Her wardrobe was phenomenal! It was so obvious to me that Kristen had worked so incredibly hard and that both her head and her heart were in the right place. Although I was bummed when she didn't win, she did make the top 10 which is an absolutely incredible accomplishment. i don't think I have ever cheered so loud in my entire life! Kristen looking absolutely stunning in all phases of competition and I hope she is as proud of herself as we all are. Although I am biased and I think she should have won, I am still excited that Kristen gets to stay our Miss Texas because I know she has such a powerful message and she will be able to touch the hearts of so many children.

Getting to watch the contestants compete in prelims motivated me and made me realize that my goals to be Miss Texas and Miss America are attainable. It will take a lot of hard work and dedication but I am ready to put in that work and hopefully it will all pay off! I had an incredible time in Las Vegas and I am so excited to see what the future holds! Congratulations to Caressa Cameron, Miss America 2010!
