!!!

I got my first sponsorships in the mail today. This means that this is actually happening. I'm more than a little bit stunned. The pageant is far away enough that it's still not entirely real, but it's certainly getting there.

Also, thank you so so so much (thank you oodles, even) to the families that are sponsoring me so that I can live out my admittedly slightly ridiculous dream. Did I mention that you'll get your names in the program? That way, the entire audience will know you had the foresight to sponsor the winner!
