May 15th 2010 was not just any normal Saturday night for me, not only was it my 19th Birthday but it was the unforgettable night that I was crowned as Miss Orem 2010.
Backstage, all 16 of us girls were getting excited yet anxious yet scared out of OUR MINDS for the night to begin!! It seemed like we were waiting backstage for hours for the pageant to start! We prepped for the night by getting all dolled up, fake eyelashes and all. When I was sitting in our dressing room before the show, I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that I had this experience. When you enter for The Miss Orem pageant, you not only sign up for a one night experience, you sign up for 6 months of gaining interview, walking, and dance skills. Not to mention 15 new girlfriends!!!
This bright and sunshiney outfit above was for the sassy opening dance number.
The onstage interview was my greatest fear. When Ishanelle passed me the microphone for my turn of questioning I was downright petrified. To this day, I don't clearly remember what came out of my mouth, my brain went into "spit out" mode. Haha. I still haven't shaken my fear of onstage interview questions, but I have a year to cope with it until MISS UTAH!! AH!!
For my talent, I performed Romance by Jean Sibelius. The talent portion was the only part of the night that I wasn't completely scatter brained for, because I absolutely LOVED the piece that I performed. This piano piece has long been my therapy piano piece, whenever I was having a bad day I'd run to the piano and play this gorgeous song.
The moment they announced that Contestant #14 Bridget Kreis, was to be crowned as the new Miss Orem. I was not expecting that at all, but what a blessing it has been.
