I have looked at all of the contestants on Miss USA's website for years so it was a littlee surreal to see my picture on there.
The next few days I worked at Scott Miller and had a lot of fun assisting clients and learning more about the makeup products!
Later in the week Mike, his Dad, and I went to the archery range and then Mike and I had a nice lunch with our friend Winni at the Cheesecake Factory!
Then it was Mike's Mom's birthday! I worked at Scott Miller in the morning and then I had a meeting with the Executive Director of Resolve of Greater Rochester which worked to prevent domestic violence and provides counseling and resettlements support for those who have been affected. My Mom and I have fundraised for the organization before and I wanted to do more to bring awareness by using my title. This meeting was because the Executive Director asked me to be the Keynote Speaker at the Resolutionary Awards. I was extremely honored!
That night for Helen's birthday we went to Osteria Rocco which is one of our favorite restaurants! We all had such a great time together celebrating the life of an amazing woman. Happy Birthday Helen, we love you!
The Miss Universe Organization asked all of the titleholders to do an act of service for Umuganda Day on March 29th and post about it online. I did some research and found out that Umuganda means community service and that it is a mandatory day on the last Saturday of each month in Rwanda. I thought that was an amazing idea and I was excited to participate here in America!
I volunteered at C.A.S.H. where low-income families can go to get their taxes done for free. Another part of my work as a Cash Advisor is to inform people of the services available in the community that can help them buy a home or or get food assistance. It is really heart-warming when someone is grateful for the tools that you provide them and want to use them to make a difference in their life.
Then I went to RockCastle Florist because I was asked to be a judge for a corsage contest! All of the entries were so beautiful and unique which made it difficult to judge but I had fun and it was sweet of them to give me a bouquet of beautiful flowers!
Then I went home and snuggled with my kitty Cookie Dough!
The next day I spent time with my Mom and we got lunch at Cole & Park and relaxed while drinking hot cider.
That night a bunch of Mike's family friends planned a surprise party for Mike's Mom at a bowling ally. It was awesome walking in and seeing everyone surprise her! Everyone had fun eating food and cake and bowling together!
The next day I got my nails done at Scott Miller and got ready to go to Los Angeles!
