Miss Nebraska USA 2012

Current and former Miss Nebraska USAs

Back in October, Miss USA 2012 took place. This was my first time watching the Miss Nebraska USA pageant from the crowd (since last year I when I gave up the title). It was fun to watch some of my friends compete for the title. I made friends with many of the girls through my two years competing.

In the end, Amy Spilker won the crown! This was her fourth year competing and she did a great job. Be sure to watch her compete in June at Miss USA!

Vanbros 25 yr. Reunion

 

Back in November 2 former, current Miss Nebraska USA and I set sail, and by sail I mean drove, 8 hours to St. Louis! We were headed to the Vanbros 25 year reunion. This was a special weekend, because our directors were celebrating 25 years of success in the Miss USA system! Can you imagine all the work, dedication and lives they’ve changed in 25 years? It’s amazing.

During the weekend, we had a luncheon, attended the Miss Missouri USA pageant and did some sight seeing at the St. Louis Arch. I have to say; being a Vanbros girl definitely has its perks of great friends. Not only did Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas former and current titleholders come together, but it was also a great bonding trip for my Miss Nebraska sisters. Check out the photos below!
