It's almost time!

Tiffany leaves for Pasadena on Sunday, and although she's mentally ready to be there, we still have some final things to take care of before she goes. Today she picked up her gown from alterations (it fits like a GLOVE!), got her already beautiful white teeth Zoom whitened at Dr. Trent Smallwood's office, and will have the final touchups on her hair with Tyler and Andy at Zolton's salon. We'll also be picking up her AWESOME flip flops for the Fadil Berisha photo shoot from Palooka Boutique tomorrow. If you're a flip flop gal, you HAVE to have a pair of these; check them out at www.palookaboutique.com!

With all of these preparations, I want to be sure to highlight the best part of all of this -- TIFFANY! She is such an incredible young lady, and everything MISS TEEN USA should be! She's beautiful, smart, fun, friendly, outgoing, responsible, motivated, kind and an all-around good kid! (I can say "kid" since I'm so much older than she is!) She has a good head on her shoulders, and she's done everything she can to be her best for this competition. But, just as critical is that she's continued her LIFE preparation. She's registered for her college classes, and if she doesn't win MISS TEEN USA, she's ready to pursue her degree! I'm so proud of her, and all Arizonans should also be proud to have Tiffany represent the best our teenagers have to offer.

Don't forget to leave your *POSITIVE* comments after each post. Tiffany will be reading them during her time at MISS TEEN USA, and every bit of encouragement and love will help keep her focused and relaxed.

Love,

Britt
