Celebration Dinner. 🍽️🩷✨

How do I start? Thank you to the River Days committee and those who were involved for organizing this special evening. 👑

This dinner was definitely full of laughter, so many hugs, pictures, tears, and memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot thank these girls enough for making this journey so memorable. I hope they all know they each hold a special place in my heart.❤️

To my parents, I am so blessed for you guys. You’ve have seen the good and bad moments in that last few months, but like mom said tonight: “Nothing worth it is easy.” That is 100% true. The amount of gratitude and love that I have for them is an emotion that not even words can express. I love you both. 🥰

To Bella, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that there’s literally 3 days left. 3 DAYS?!? I want you to know that I’m so thankful for you. Your advice and support throughout this journey is something I’ve held so dear to my heart. P.S. I like to brag that my pageant mom is basically TikTok famous! 💁🏼‍♀️🧡

Tonight made me realize that no matter the outcome of Saturday, I’ve already won. The skills that I’ve developed are so valuable for my future. This experience is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life, and nothing can ever change that.

Thank you, River Days. ❤️

I wanted to share this photo I took with my sweet little cousin, Kennedy. She won Jr. Miss Queen in the Little Miss River Days pageant last night! Watching her made me so proud!!😍

All the little girls did SO good last night! I am proud of ALL of them for doing something so courageous! Watching them reminded me of all the memories I made while doing these young pageants. They were such dolls!!!🥰

4 days. ✨

River Days, I’m not ready for this experience to end. All 13 of us have gained so much. We each have simply made an impact on our community, and no one or nothing could ever take that fact away from us. We all have won.❤️

This is such a bittersweet moment for us. I am so thankful God has given me this opportunity, no matter the outcome on Saturday. Now, let’s do this. 👑

5 Days until I take the stage!

I wanted to share the 5 community service events I’ve attended this summer; 1 being mine, and 4 others for my sister group! 🥰

Each event was so inspiring and special. River Days has allowed us to share our voices, in hopes of inspiring others. Because of this journey, I have found my voice and I’ve gained so much confidence. 🩵

6️⃣more days until I take the stage! I am SO honored to represent the community that has supported me through the thick and thin. 🧡

Today is Super Sunday! I am so blessed for my River Days family!! Love them all so much!❤️

7 Days to go!!!🤩

Here’s a photo from the day I had found out I was going to be Miss Wheelersburg: February 14th. Two of MANY of my closest friends showed up to my house with a thoughtful card, flowers, and candy to congratulate me on my accomplishment! They had just gotten back from a basketball game they had cheered at before this was taken, but took the time out of their nights to support me! 💐

This picture truly encapsulates the type of support I’ve received for the past 6 months. Wheelersburg, you have been so good to me throughout my entire River Days journey. The thoughtfulness, generosity, and love are things that I will be thankful for, and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. I have never forgotten all the kind words and support that every single person has given me. It’s truly been an honor representing our community. 🧡

I am SO excited to represent the home of the pirates and spread my wings on the big stage in ONE WEEK! 🏴‍☠️✨👑
