Dear 7 Months,

Seven seems to be the theme right now, doesn't it. 7 questions and now 7 months. Caution: Mushiness ahead... I just want to warn you so you can skip down to the pictures.

Well May 1st celebrated 7 months of pure happiness dating Adam Miller. It has flown by and I have enjoyed getting to know him. He is an incredible man and I feel very lucky to be dating him. He is a great example of everything I believe and makes me want to be a better person. He works hard. He has faith things will work out. And he makes me the happiest I have ever been. He loves spending time with my friends and getting to know everything about me. He supports me through everything I do (especially Miss Idaho... he makes me do sit ups before I can have any treats!!!). He always wants to talk. He always compliments me and makes me feel special. He likes to take care of me and he lets me take care of him. He is a manly man and I know he can protect me. He is passionate about the things that are important to him. He is dedicated to a sport and career, the gospel, and me. I am really really REALLY incredibly lucky to have found a man like him. Everything happens for a reason, right?

So how did we celebrate our 7 month. With baseball of course! It was the BYU vs UVU game. Extremely packed and a good game overall. UVU came out on top, increasing their 20+ winning streak, but Adam got to pitch! It was only my third time seeing him pitch live so I was pumped! Then after the game we ate a breakfast burrito, bought Adam some things to eat while I was in Sun Valley (I am here for three days doing an appearance with our beautiful reining Miss Idaho), got a redbox, and went home to relax. It was a really nice night.

I was incredibly excited for Adam to go in the game. I think Gloria thought I was out of control. 

So proud of my pitcher. 1 inning, no walks, 2 Ks.

I am a really happy girl. And as Adam puts it, "7 MONTHS?! That is longer than a half a year!" I couldn't have said it any better.

Love,

Deidre

Dear 7 Questions,

And now people. The questions of seven!

Here I am... obviously so excited for all of the following: to be at Miss Idaho Orientation, to go watch the Miss Idaho Outstanding Teen Program that night, to be Miss Magic Valley, to have a crown on my head. Miss Idaho week... one month away! Ready to go, let's DO this!

1. What is your favorite day of the week and why?
Easy. Sunday. I get to relax, sleep in, nap... all those have to do with sleeping... but even better I get to just spend time with the people I love attending church and watching a Disney movie.

2. If you decided to change your name, what would you change it to?
I would change it to Xavier. Or Zelda. Then I would always feel like a warrior! Just kidding. I really wouldn't do that because that would be embarrassing... (no offense to all the Xevier, boys name, and Zeldas out there) I would change it to Scarlet. I love that name. So sassy and classy.

3. What is one product you use (it can be for anything) that you feel is a miracle worker?
Proactive. I can have literally the WORST breakouts... anywhere on my face. And within a few days of upping my Proactive usage it is gone. Also. Garnier under eye roller makeup (not sure the proper name) is INCREDIBLE for sleepy eyes. And of course bare minerals. Love. Love. Love. WINNING!

4. High heels, flats, sneakers, or boots?
Well.... that all depends on the weather and what I am doing. But let me give you a quick rundown:

Working out: Sneakers

Going to work: High heels or Boots

Pageantry: High Heels

Basically all fall: Boots

Baseball game: Flats

Night games: Sneakers

Running errands: Flats

Going shopping: Flats

Church: High Heels

Dancing: High Heels

5. You see your favorite celebrity (it can be any kid of celebrity- movie star, singer, writer, political leader, blogger) walking down the street, what do you do?
Panic. And that seriously isn't an exaggeration. I don't do well with celebrity-dom. I panic! I know exactly what will happen. I will freeze for a split second, my heart rate will jump, I will start becoming incredibly awkward, and then I will turn to whoever I am with and whisper, even if it is loud, "Oh my gosh... can we go say hi?" Notice the we... even if they other person doesn't care. I am incredibly awkward and like to use whoever I am with as an ice breaker. If no one is with me... I will follow the celebrity around for a solid 10 minutes, dodging behind trees and newspaper stands until I get the nerve to tell them one thing I love about them.

6. If you could pick one item to never have to pay for again, what would it be?
Gentri said it best. GAS! Oh my gosh, I love a good road trip. And on top of that I have been travelling a TON to do Miss Magic Valley (living in Utah and doing appearances and assemblies in Idaho isn't the best way to be a pageant girl) things... but I love being a titleholder so I can't just not be involved... so yes, gas.

7. What was your favorite tv show or movie growing up?

Favorite tv show... Boy Meets World, Growing Pains, and The Simpsons. The first two you can thank my friends and Disney channel for me loving. The last one you can thank my brothers. And favorite movie... The Goonies! GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!

Love,

Deidre
