So here we are...the end of the road. My last official appearances as Miss New Jersey 2009. What a ride this has been, and such a wonderful journey. I have memories that will last a lifetime. I am truly so grateful to have been blessed with this honor of representing the state of New Jersey. I always dreamt about being Miss New Jersey, and now that my year is over, I still can't believe that I was Miss New Jersey.
In the blink of an eye you become a celebrity, and all I could think my entire year, was that I was just an everyday girl, I'm nobody special. I learned so quickly the importance of living in the moment and cherishing the experiences in front of me. It feels like someone hit the fast forward button, and all I want to do is hit the STOP button, haha!
I have been so busy the remainder of my year preparing for after my year is done, as well as going to all of my appearances, so lets get to the fun stuff!
SATURDAY MAY 29TH, 2010
I had the pleasure of judging in the Jersey Coast's Habitat for Humanity Lego Building Contest. We colored houses and then the children were broken up into teams who designed their own Lego House. The winning team build the most incredible Lego house. The imagination these kids had was unbelievable and completely blew me away! I also won tickets to a Trenton Thunder game that from NJ 101.5 Radio!

WEDNESDAY JUNE 9TH, 2010
I traveled to Wildwood for the St. Ann's Catholic School D.A.R.E graduation. As a keynote speaker, I congratulated the students for a job well done, and encouraged them to continue to use the skills they learned from the program in the real world. D.A.R.E is such a wonderful program, and a great way for students to learn the importance of abstaining from the use of Drugs and Alcohol. They even had a police dog demonstration, which was so much fun!

SATURDAY JUNE 12, 2010
The first part of Saturday afternoon I was the featured guest at the Graeme Preston Foundation for Life. I sang the National Anthem and signed autographs for the kids. This is a wonderful foundation who provides assistance for numerous other charities and believes in helping everyone, not one specific cause. Graeme Preston was a 12 year-old boy who died from injuries he incurred in an automobile accident. The family was truly an incredible group of people, and I had a wonderful time!
Singing the Anthem
Saturday night I was off to the Meadowlands Racetrack for the infamous Tom Alturi Miss New Jersey Final Race. This was the last, but one of the most exciting appearances. I sang the National Anthem and presented the trophy to the winner of the race. I also got to ride in the started gate car! That was the most incredible experience to see the horses running right at you! The SBOA sponsored the dinner, which was delicious! I enjoyed the night at the track, and it was certainly an experience that I will never forget!

So now it's time for Miss New Jersey week 2010. I can't believe the year is coming to an end. I have truly been so blessed, and I can't wait to see who my new "sister" will be! Stay tuned for any updates on my facebook and twitter! As well as the end of the week when I will recap the entire week of events. And discuss my new little sister!
Until next time...Health and Happiness.
