July 2018- Month in Review
What better month to start my new blogging series? Every month from now on I will do a month in review, a recap of my favorite appearances, charity work, achievements, travel, life events and more.
July has been a dream come true!
This July has been one to remember. I started the month as Miss MRI Canada, and ended it on a new journey, with an International Crown and sash, and a goal achieved. Here is my July 2018!
July 1st- CANADA DAY!!
I wore my Miss MRI Canada sash in Polson Park at my last event before Internationals. My whole community wished me good luck. Speaking on stage during a national celebration and before representing the country was amazing! Did I mention I helped cut the cake?!

July 6th Fashion Wear Preliminaries
Started the day with 5am Hair and Makeup!
Then off to rehearsals, to get prepared for Fun Fashion Preliminaries.
The night ended with a sweet party!! Full of gifts, dancing, and fun!
At the party, I was also honored to model some of my last year’s Daycare classes art on a special cape!!
July 7th- Winning an International Title
Started the day with another 5am hair and makeup! The Miss age group had the first interviews of the day, so I did my interview this morning. Then we went on to evening gown preliminary competition.
After the Gown preliminary was the Gatsby Gala. Entering this pageant I had set a goal for my self to win the International Volunteer title. So when Michelle, the director, announced “say hello to our Miss International Volunteer” I sat holding my Moms hand at our table, hoping to hear my name. Then I did. Time slowed as I walked up and the sweetest thing is everyone was cheering for me. Everyone knew how much I wanted this title. it was a dream and goal come true.
I was also awarded top 5 Role Model for ages 13+ at the awards dinner!

July 11th- Seattle
Mom and I spent a day in Seattle traveling the city and taking pictures! We even rode on the Seattle Ferris wheel, which was pretty nerve-racking.
July 11th-First new coverage
I arrived back in Canada, at the airport I turned on my phone for the first time in 11days (I don’t have roaming). And a bunch of messages greeted me, including Infotel News wanting to do an article on me. My first day back they published this.
