Formal Ball

With Miss Teen Oregon and Miss Teen Virginia at the Formal Ball. These girls are really fantastic. It has really been a great honor be included in this group of girls. All of them could have been Miss Teen International because they are all smart, beautiful, and fun to be around.

Finals Night

We were all excited to represent Arkansas with me in the Top 10 and Chelsey as 4th runner up. Thanks go to Ms. Bernee' for her tireless efforts to make us look and feel our best.

Here is also a picture with Jade Kenney, 2006 Miss Teen International. She was great during the competition week.

Top 10

I made the top 10!

Free Time in Chicago

Friday was a free day for the teen contestants. This was a welcome rest because we were in rehersal and show on Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. That was a long day! Here I am at Lake Michigan and with my brother, Robby, at Wrigley Field. Robby and my dad had time yesterday to watch the Sox win at Cellular Field.
