Pageant Update, My Hair, Movie

Woo, where do I start? 

Let's begin with the pageant that took place this past weekend.

Here are some photos from my mom's camera:

getting ready for the rehearsals
My gown looks super blue in this photo, but it's more of a smokey-navy color in real life

 I got second runner-up! Of course I'm disappointed to not win the title, but I'm still so pleased and proud of myself.  It had been a year and a half since I competed in a pageant, so I was honored to be in the top five.  It was such a positive experience ...and a lot of fun!  I mean, who doesn't love to dress up in a fancy gown?

Big thanks to all of you for all of your sweet words & well wishes! The comments mean so much to me.  You are all just too sweet for words!

I'm especially loving the way my living room smells right now because of these 



Oh, and I said I'd post a photo of my hair.  This is the best lighting that I could find (in my car!)...


I just love this color! To all of you Charleston girls, let me know if you're in need of a new stylist because mine is so awesome and accommodating!

She has made me my blondest blonde, which I loved, but I'm definitely pleased with the darker, more natural color.

After the pageant, I've enjoyed mexican food, french fries, white chocolate morsels, and gummy bears.  It has been amazing! Time to cut it out tomorrow ...I've had my fun!

Brandon took this photo of me in my Real Housewives of Orange County slumber last night. Notice the gummy bears and white chocolate? If you eat a gummy bear and two morsels at the same time, it's just amazing!

Speaking of candy, Brandon and I went to see "Just Go With It" yesterday afternoon.  


What a cute movie!  It has been so long since I've seen a Jenn Aniston movie that I truly enjoyed, which is disappointing because I just love her.  She and Adam Sandler are hilarious together!

Go see it! You'll be laughing the whole time ...at least Brandon and I were!
