This is my the 2nd beauty pageant (first in 2022). I didn’t know what to expect this year coming back as a wife and mommy. I decided if God gave me this opportunity to represent myself and motherhood this year, I was going to give it my all, and so I did! 
What a dream it was to be on stage this year competing against 41 other women in my division. I put in much time and effort and it sure paid off. Practicing, preparing, dress shopping for hours on end with a toddler around was not easy. My toddler still breastfeeding night and day and co sleeping, even at the pageant, can not be easy. But so rewarding. Placing top 5 was my goal and I did it! You are capable of anything with the Lord on your side. I hope I made my Louis proud. I wanted to show him his mommy is strong and that he too can make challenging goals in life, start from ground zero, and achieve them. I came to represent to other women, as a young mom and wife, that your dreams can look different than others and you can still be just as powerful. I came to show how beautiful and world changing motherhood is. 
I had a BLAST and met so many amazing girls. Thank you to my family who came to support me at the pageant, it meant the world to me❤️ for Jerad listening to my speech over and over. Louis clapping each time I said it. Amanda for bringing herself and baby to be my pageant sister all weekend. And my mom for encouraging me to compete this year. thank you to my dear wonderful friend @schaaflexi for all your advice, time, and energy helping me with my walk, talk, wardrobe, nerves, etc. You’re and amazing friend and IM SO PROUD OF YOU. My girl Lexi WON NAM Miss Minnesota 2026. STILL SCREAMING. There is not a queen more deserving than you❤️❤️❤️
Go compete in a beauty pageant w your bestie😍😍
I will always remember this special weekend. 
Thank you Lord for being my Prince of Peace, confidence, and my everything. 

Until next time 💖💖💖💖💖
