Miss Connecticut Prelims & Such

Hello all!

What a busy week it was.  As you may know, I am a senior at University of Vermont.  I study Nursing, which is a wonderful career path if any of you are looking for jobs!  I absolutely love it.  I have class two days a week and spend the other two days doing hands-on clinical practice.  The semester is wrapping up, with one week ahead before finals begin.  What an exciting, busy time!

Despite this, I am managing my time well.  I am very organized!  Next week I have two fashion shows and an appearance with S.D. Ireland Cancer Research Fund. 
The first fashion show is Thursday.  As this "Upcycled Fashion Show" is described in the words of Bobbin store owner Gyllian Rae Svensson, "You take old clothes, take them apart and put them back together in a way that makes them more valuable and fashionable." Check it out on Facebook!
 The second fashion show takes place on Saturday evening in Burlington, with designers from Ecco clothing store.  Money raised here goes to Northeast Heart Transplant Fund. Check it out on Facebook!

This weekend has been wonderful for me.  On Friday, I visited my awesome fitness sponsor, Katie Boyd.  I have worked with her since last year and am delighted to have her as a sponsor.  I spent the night with my supporting and loving grandmother.  I traveled to Connecticut on Saturday and attended their preliminary events.  It is great to spend time with Randy Sanders' team of fantastic workers.  They truly are a team!  It has also been nice to reunite with friends again and spend some time with my Mom and sister.  I will be attending the final event today as well.  Enjoy some photos!
