My year as Miss Omaha :): Miss Alliance/Outstanding Teen Pageant!

After my short visit in North Platte I headed home for to emcee the Miss Alliance/Outstanding Teen Pageant! I had a blast being home for the day and loved getting to spend time with all the contestants. This of course is where pageantry all started for me. I was the first Miss Alliance's Outstanding Teen in 2007 and have been a part of the Miss Alliance Pageant for years. Like many mothers, mine choose to volunteer me to help her each year with the silent auction. I must say that I began to enjoy watching the girls compete and then hear how they did at the state level. Its so crazy thinking that now I am in all of this.

Congratulations to Sarah Summers of Papillion on winning the Outstanding Teen title and a huge congrats to Megan Dimmit of Alliance. (Megan's mom was my piano teacher for a few years!)

Miss Omaha, Miss Northwest, Miss Alliance, Miss Blue River, Miss Scottsbluff County

I had a great time with the job as emcee as well. I got to work with my fellow neighbor/brother/friend Jon Marquez...and many of you who know about Jon and I, we've had quite the love/hate relationship! Jon and I both played trumpet throughout school and lived right across the street from one another. Needless to say we have had our moments but all in all make quite the pair!
