A Trip to Bemidji, a Style Show, and a Weekend at Bethel.

Last week, I traveled to Bemidji for the Miss Northern Lakes, Miss Bemidji, and Miss Northern Lakes' Outstanding Teen pageants. It's crazy to think that there are just four titleholders to be crowned and the Miss Minnesota Class of 2014 is complete! Congratulations to Jade, Hope, and Lizzy :)

Last Tuesday I made the drive to Nisswa for the night for the Nisswa Women of Today Style Show at Grandview! This was my third year modeling, but this year I modeled for a new store called Catherine's located in downtown Nisswa. If you haven't been there I highly recommend you visit because it's one of the cutest stores in Nisswa. I spent way to much money there :)

This weekend was so much fun because I was able to pick up my little sister queen, Molly, and she was  able to spend the weekend here at Bethel with me. Friday, we went to a dance party and went bowling at a bowling alley close to Bethel. I walked away with score of 46. I like to think I'm a good bowler, but really I'm not. At least it was fun!

Saturday was such an exciting day as Bethel football was playing the University of St. Thomas! I knew it was going to be an exciting game as both teams were pretty good teams. Bethel was undefeated, so this was an especially important game as we wanted to keep the undefeated streak going. In a close game with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Bethel comes up from behind and scores a touchdown! Bethel walked away with the win. Sweet victory :) I know God was on that field playing with those guys! Our God is such an incredible God :)

This coming weekend, I'll be in Nisswa packaging meals for starving children in Haiti at Kids Against Hunger.

A week at a glance.

This past week has been so insanely busy. I'm not sure that I could have crammed one more thing into my schedule!

It seems that my professors decided to load this past week with hours of homework. On top of that, it was Bethel University's homecoming week. There were many late nights and my stress was elevated to a new level, but I manage to get through the week alive!

Friday night was Bethel's homecoming banquet. It was so much fun to just dress up and celebrate the end of a stressful week. The past week I've been feeling extra blessed and thankful that I get to be here at Bethel. I'm surrounded by such an incredible, Christ-driven community. I feel that God placed me here for a reason and I'm so grateful he did.

Saturday was probably one of the most busy days I've had in a while! I woke up at 5:30AM and was on the road by 7:30AM to head to Brainerd because it was also Brainerd's homecoming celebration. I was running on 4 hours of sleep but managed to stay awake the entire day (many thanks to coffee!). I was quite literally in Brainerd for 40 minutes for the parade (in the rain I might add) before heading back down to St. Paul because it was Bethel's homecoming football game against Augsburg. Dedicated? Yes. I drove nearly 4.5 hours for a 40 minute appearance but it was completely worth it. I promised to make the most of my year as Miss Brainerd Lakes, even if that meant sacrificing sleep!

The Bethel football game was an excited one as both Bethel and Augsburg are undefeated teams. Bethel walked away with the win in an exciting game! Proud to be a Royal :)

After the game, I had a few hours to grab dinner quick and get ready for the Miss Southern Valley and Miss Southern Valley's Outstanding Teen pageant in Lakeville, MN! It felt like I had been living out of my car on Saturday :) Hashtag queen probs!

Bethel ladies :)

Ladies from Brainerd :) that will make 4 ladies from Brainerd competing at Miss Minnesota this year!

This coming week will be another busy weekend as I will be walking in the Autism walk in support of Philip and the Yeh family as well as attending the Miss Northern Lakes/Bemidji and Miss Northern Lakes' Outstanding Teen pageant. It should be another fun weekend!

Blessings,
Bailey
