Hello Everyone!
I'm in Vegas and in the midst of all the competition. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience! It has been a exhausting week, but we have had the priviledge of doing some really neat events - not to mention walking across the Miss America stage!
One reason I'm feeling a bit tired today is probably because I couldn't sleep last night because....... I WON THE PRELIMINARY TALENT!!!!!! I'm so excited!! It was an amazing feeling! I nailed my talent with a no drop and even had a standing ovation. The response was phenominal!! There are 3 nights of preliminary competition and one girl is awarded a top talent each night. I received a $2,000 scholarship for the win. Last year all three girls who won preliminary talents made it to the top 10! I will have to say it was a great start to the week!
Although I kind of feel like a rock star right now, I know that the week has only just begun. I have the two areas of competition with the largest weight in score (interview and talent) done, which is a great feeling; however, I still have on stage question, swimsuit, and evening gown to go!
I was just so thrilled with last night's experience that I wanted to share it with all of you. If you can keep voting that would be great! www.tlc.com/missamerica Until then, I'll keep working on my end to uphold my part of the bargain - representing Iowa to the absolute best of my ability!
Tune in Saturday!!!
Best Wishes,
Diana

Diana, we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you!!!!! Show them what it's all about! Twirl & dance to the sky!!!! GOOD LUCK; we are so proud of your accomplishments and preliminary win from your Kansas Twirling Friends.....Belinda and Beverly Post
My 7 year old daughter and I have been watching you on the reality series and we watched you in the pageant. We would like to say congratulations on making top 10. We were very dissapointed that they would not let you show your routine on T.V., but we were so happy to see that they did let you show some twirling before the break. It is always so awesome to see a baton twirling do so well with the skills that they have learned and practiced for years. You have certainly given the girls in NBTA a great role model to look up to and we wish you all the best.
Congratulations again.
I ditto VA Family. I was so excited that you made the top 10 but so dissappointed not to see you perform. I have seen you at a few Hawkeye games are you are totally awesome. I was a twirler in high school and have always been such a fan of baton twirling. Way to go. I'm so glad that you won the Preliminary Talent!! I was really wanting to see you go all the way but even making the top 10 was such an achievement. I am so proud that you are representing our great state of Iowa.
