You're always someone's Queen :)

Now all days leading up to preliminaries are a bit crazy for the amazing volunteers in the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization, local directors, families of these amazing women, contestants and even me. Today was extremely crazy for me,the staff (I witness first hand) and pretty nerve wrecking for some contestants as they faced the judges in their private interview. A quick note to the ladies in group C, no matter what you may have "heard" from the contestants who've had their interview today I advise you not to listen. Your time with the judges will come tomorrow and each interview is different. To all ladies, don't discuss your interview with your, roommate, buddy or pageant sister. I promise it will not do one bit of good. Now back to saluting our board and staff.... For 4 years I had the honor of working with these beyond amazing people. Many of you have no clue how hard everyone works to make this week an amazing adventure for not only the contestants, but the supporters and pageant attendees as well. We are the Volunteer state and the Miss Tennessee family as well all of our 36 local titleholders are a perfect definition of why. There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer. I've stated this before, but I will reiterate it a few more times during my coverage of the pageant; Saturday night there will only be one to wear the crown. I want all of you ladies to know that you are ALWAYS the queen of someone. I was reminded of that when my husband sent me a beautiful arrangement of two dozen roses as in his heart I am his queen(yes me, five years aged out of the pageant!). I am SO excited to began tomorrow's first night of preliminary competition! Good luck to all of the contestants, my heart is with you! Welcome to my new followers and thank you!(this includes my supportive husband!).... Tune in tomorrow and I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you all. Until next time......
