Miss Maryland USA 2014!

My experience at the Miss Maryland USA 2014 pageant was absolutely amazing!  It was hands down the best time I ever had at the pageant.  It was my first time placing in the semifinals after competing two years before, and I met some of the sweetest girls there!  Congrats to the winner, Taylor Burton!  She is kind, beautiful and totally deserving.

Here are some photos of my pageant experience:
