Bio

I judged a pageant yesterday in Indiana and it was amazing and a great time. I can't talk about it, really, but let's just say I learned a lot about the Miss America Scholarship Program and met a lot of incredible women, and well as made some new friends in my judges panel. For the pageant, I had to create a bio that was all-incompassing, and I have to say, I am really proud of myself! I thought I would post it here, cause if you can't put a bio on your own blog, where can you put it?
