Miss Texas USA Pageant here I come.
I dropped my form, officially accepting the title Miss Ector County USA and agreeing to participate in the Miss Texas Pageant, plus my two hundred dollar down payment, in the mail today. No going back. Friday I decided was the day to decide, officially commit. And I became a bundle of nerves! My stomach dropped into my shoes and I felt like I was climbing up the biggest hump before the final drop in a roller coaster. I made last minute calls to a friend and my dad, “I should do this, for sure, right?… you support me?” I have to say my family and friends have been too awesome about encouraging me to do this, and offering to help. Their support has made it easier to go after something I find myself wanting quite out of the blue! I would have mailed the form Friday, had I my checkbook on my person, but the decision was made, today was just the act of dropping it in the mail. My mother told my nanny, she is thrilled, she wants to buy a plane ticket, come to the pageant, and has offered to be a sponsor. Well that’s it; I’m in it for the whole thing now!
