Hi everyone.

I know I promised updates live from St. Louis, but it is too difficult to do while I am judging. I wouldn’t want any girl to feel like I was favoring one over another.

Today is the finals. I will report fully tomorrow.

Thanks for checking back so often.

Yes, I’m late…with this post. It is the morning after and last night just had too much to celebrate. The girls and well-wishers all communed at the Quality Inn in North Platte to celebrate, take pictures, hug, take pictures, give awards, take pictures…you get the, ah, picture!

So here are some snaps from the night…

I get to celebrate with the new Miss Nebraska, Brittany Jeffers.
