Miss America talks about Faith!

Royal Performance

If anyone knows my sisters and I in the slightest bit, you MUST know that we LOVE pageants... yep! Being in them, watching them, directing, emceeing, performing, helping, whatever! We love them! We have been very active in pageants for many years. I have been the longest... since fifth grade to be exact. I started with Miss Preteen Ohio (where I placed top twenty!!), then did National American Miss (13th out of 178), and went on to do others. I was Miss Gallia County ( my favorite) in 2007, which is like Miss America to some in Gallia County.

Last year, Amber competed in the Ohio Cinderella State pageant. She won the State Talent award. Ashley competed in Miss Columbus Teen, where she placed 1st runner up. Both pageants were under the direction of Mrs. Judy Kyees, a noted pageant director and coach. She is a genius!!!!! She invited us to sing the national anthem at the 2010 Miss Columbus Teen pageant. She also want Amber to sing "Red Letter Day," Judy's fave song from our CD. We felt as if we sang the Star Spangled Banner better than ever. It's truly amazing to  hear to hoops-n-hollers from the audience, as well as the screams, when you know you nail a song. What better song to sing than one that praises our soldiers for their hard work! Well, other than a song about Jesus DYING for us! hehe!

Thanks, Judy, for inviting us to your pageant. We hope you invite us back. Congratulations to miss Avery Stump on winning the well deserved crown!

Til next time, ya'll,
Lizzy!!!
