5 Year Crown-Iversary

It still doesn't feel real that it's been five years since I was crowned Miss Tennessee in Jackson; OR that I was the last woman to be crowned in the Carl Perkins Civic Center to the tune of a Live orchestra playing "This is The Moment" From the Jekyll & Hyde Musical. It can't have been Five Years already... right??

This program has helped me grow, develop, and change in ways I never knew could be possible. I've been challenged, experienced triumphs and failures, once in a lifetime experiences that have been invaluable, and truly been changed for the better because of this program and the people in it. 

To everyone who made this surprise possible, I owe a HUGE thank you!
Frank & Thumb Print Productions, Thank you for taking the time to create this surprise. I had no idea this was coming and have no idea how you kept so many people from spilling the beans or even hinting that this was happening?! You are so kind and thoughtful and this truly meant more than I can express in words alone. 

Allison, here I was thinking I was interviewing you and harassing our production team to give me the freaking mic to get on my mark in time?! Thank you so much for your kind words, authentic appreciation and creating something that all of us are proud to be a part of. It's truly an honor to be a part of this organization and to feel that this is something we will be proud of for decades to come.

Mom & Dad for coming all the way to Jackson after a long work day & week to be there for me. You two have been there every step of the way, and tonight was no exception. Thank you for being there for the moments that have mattered most, from the tiniest to the most significant, I can always count on you two to be there. I love you both so much!

I can't express how grateful I am to feel so appreciated and celebrated in the midst of pageant week in full swing and so many other things happening all at once-- Thank you for making this forever titleholder feel so appreciated and truly taking me by surprise in the best way!

If you know me, you know surprising me is an almost impossible thing to do, but I sure am grateful you all did. 

Thank you for making me feel so loved and appreciated, I can't express my gratitude and just how much this means to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this forever queen feel like a part of a family, even years after my reign.

All my love,
