My uncle Harold saw this in the KC Star and called my family! I am so tickled that Dr. Headley is using me in his ads along with lovely Lindsey & Micaela! I could not ask for better company :-)!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all! I hope you are doing well wherever you may be! I am recovering nicely from my big weekend and now that I have entered the land of the "formers"!
A very big Congratulations to the new Miss Kansas USA 2010 Bethany Gerber! She is a stunner and I am so jealous of her long, long legs! I know she will kill at Miss USA and do the Vanbros family proud!

Long day!
Let me say that being on this side of the crown at the Miss Kansas USA pageant is bizarre! I am having a blast so far, but am definitely sad to see it end. You know, I am not Miss USA but I am lucky enough to be me. I have been so shocked at the amazingly kind words that so many people have had for me! It absolutely warms my heart that so many people, even those I had never met before, looked up to me and admired me for just being ME! I have just never know any different. I did give being Miss Kansas my all, whatever happened this year just happened and obviously there is another plan for me. But to everyone I have spoken to this weekend, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me!
The girls here at Miss KS/KS Teen USA are absolutely lovely! We may not have the huge numbers of Texas or Florida but we certainly have some stunners. I have enjoyed working with the ladies so much! Maybe I should coach! I have met some great girls and even if this is not their time to win, I know they can in the future. But all of these ladies are proof that you don't need a crown to sparkle- they do that every single day.
Nerves will be up tomorrow for sure! I think I just stopped talking at all about midday! Tomorrow will for sure be hard on Alexis and myself as we say goodbye to the job we have loved for the last year. I know that it is now time to give someone else the best Christmas present in the state.
I will definitely post my farewell speech soon! Has to be after the pageant and I will have lots of pictures as well!

My momma's proof that we look alike
First, me at 23 from KC Magazine.
Second, my mom at 24 in an old-time photo.haha even the styling is pretty similar! Crazy!
Brrrr!
Greeting from Kansas where winter has officially arrived!
This week has made me once again realize how happy I am that I have been a part of the Vanbros team with such great directors behind me. If you follow the USA pageants you know that there has been a LOT of drama concerning the North Dakota and Maine pageants Personally I feel very bad for all the young ladies who competed in these two states. Registration fees are very expensive and these young ladies expected to be a part of great pageants that were run fairly. Sadly, I do not think, after reading many, many accounts of both pageants, that this is what these young ladies got. Not to take anything away from the winners as they are lovely, but this would be a very difficult situation to be in and now everyone is doubting the wins. I can't imagine how hard it would be to put your trust in your director after a pageant that was a disaster.
If you want a great read with very strong opinions, check out what my friend Kate Banazak Miss DE 2009 has to say! She is opinionated but also very well-spoken and I admire her for that.
