Getting ready for Miss International!

I decided to start this blog since many of my friends have one and because I can update family and friends on what is going on in my life. As many of you know, I am Miss Arkansas International and I am getting ready to leave on Saturday, July 18th, to go to Chicago for Miss International. I am looking foward to making great friends and memories that I will cherish forever. I have started on facebook, adding and chatting with contestants! They all seem so sweet and GORGEOUS! I have to admit that I am intimidated by many! But I do think that I will have so much in common with so many girls!

I finally got intouch with GODADDY.COM because my website, www.tressahorton.org, was not working. They fixed it for me, a week before I leave so that no one has seen it, but at least it is out there so that many can see what my platform is, Childhood Obesity, and how it can help everyone. There are also many photo albulms for everyone to see! I will be updating my website with pictures throughout the week next week for everyone to see.

Today is the packing day!!!!! FUN FUN FUN! Of course, I will have the help of my great mother. She seems to know how to do everything. :) My wonderful director drove to Chicago this past weekend and took my competition clothing with her. SHE IS A LIFE SAVER! As of right now, I have 3 very large suitcases and I AM STILL NOT FINISHED!!!!

Tomorrow morning, my Mother and I are going to Little Rock to stay the night with my grandmother but I will be traveling to HOT SPRINGS tomorrow night for the last Preliminary night for Miss Arkansas-America! I have so many friends competing for the title! Of course I am very excted to be cheering my favorites on to the crown!

Saturday morning, my Teen, Kristyn Baker and I will be leaving for Chicago at 12:45! When we arrive in Chicago, we will get ready and go to the Mrs. International finals night to cheer on our Mrs. Arkansas International Robin Moore! We are so proud of Robin! We know that she will do amazing! I am awaiting a phone call from Robin or my director Bernee for the thumbs up from Robin's interview! Of course I already know that it was AMAZING! Robin is incredible!

I will be updating my blog every day and posting pictures for everyone to keep in touch with how Nationals is going!

I hope everyone has a blessed day! Trust in the Lord always!
