Miss MHB Reception

They say it takes a village to raise kids. Well, I'm convinced the same is true for big events.Each year my university holds a pageant in search of a student to represent the campus over the course of the year. It is a really neat opportunity for girls to display their talents and advocate for their chosen platform. One of my favorite things about my school is that they give students leadership roles for productions such as pageant. I was thrilled this semester when the director asked if I would be interested in heading up the reception committee. (Following pageant, the school holds a reception in our student union building to celebrate all the girls' hard work.) After checking my schedule, I happily agreed. I'll admit that I was nervous to take on such a big task, but excited to rise to the challenge.With a budget, Pinterest  board, and the best help imaginable, the reception came to life. For a couple of weeks my mind was filled with rose gold sparkles, flowers, and photo booths. I met and coordinated with the set committee to ensure that the theme would shine through and made several trips to Hobby Lobby to hit the sales at just the right time. Before I knew it, it was game day. We arrived early and stayed late to ensure the fine tuning of all the details.
