Dear 20/20,

Alright. I really did think I was done posting Miss America items until next year. Until my facebook wall looked like this...

But I was at Miss America live, so I didn't get to see anything televised. So imagine my surprise when I started getting messages and all that halfway through the show that I was just on NATIONAL television. And not just on any show. But 20/20. The pre-show called Pageant Confidential. So... I was pretty pumped. And I wanted to share it with all of you. You can watch the whole thing if you would life, because it is pretty interesting, or you can just go to 1:36 to see me being crowned Miss Magic Valley.

Alright. So I know it was only like 3 seconds... tops. But it is still pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Reliving the glory days. Just as happy as can be. And now. With all that shown... besides maybe one more Las Vegas trip post, until next Miss America.

Love,
Miss Magic Valley 2012

Dear Homecoming,

It is homecoming week at BYU! I love coming home. I love BYU. I love football. I love J Dawgs. And I LOVE being famous. You might wonder where those last two came from? Hot dogs and famous... interesting... Well let me tell you why.

My final year at BYU my bestie Michelle and I decided to be involved in all that we could. And go to a lot of activities. And we did everything together. So. Homecoming week. We went to the homecoming kick off and got free J Dawgs (yum.... J Dawgs) and took a picture with Cosmo!

But another thing happened while we were there. A man with a camera took our picture while we were in line. It was actually a man we knew from our time volunteering at BYUSA. And so he got a very candid laughing photo of us. And I will be honest, we were slightly embarrassed. But now... WE ARE FAMOUS! and we are eating hot dogs. Last year we were in the newspaper for homecoming week and this year we made it to the internets. When the first person told me I thought, no one really checks here. But since then I have been proven wrong.

 

So now everyone knows I eat J Dawgs. And they know I like to laugh, at least, that is something that could gather from the photo. I love being BYU famous. Because, really, what other famous would be better?!

Love,

Deidre
