April 7: Now it is getting down to business and emotions are running high. It has been one week and I am missing my family and from the vibe at rehearsal so was everyone else. We are having a lot of rehearsals to learn the opening number and our routines for swimsuit, evening gown and state costume. Today was breakfast then rehearsal, lunch then rehearsal and dinner. The next few days will be like this as well. I am still having a great time though!! I have met so many people from Kentucky that I feel like a local celebrity. Everyday the other girls are telling me that someone is looking for Mrs. Kentucky. It is so nice to have a lot of support being this far from home. I can't wait until Sunday when I get to go the the gun club for a photo shoot, so stay tuned in for that. The pictures should be great :)
