This picture was taken at the Black and White Ball last May in Indianapolis. The event was part of my experience competing for the title of Miss Indiana. Next month, I will travel to Las Vegas for the Miss America 2006 Pageant. There, I will get to see this young woman crown the new Miss America! After competing in the Miss Indiana Pageant, and placing 2nd Runner-up; I am very excited to watch Miss Indiana 2005, Susan Guilkey and Miss Illinois 2005, Lauren Allen compete for the crown!!!
