I can't believe I have been here an entire week!
My day started with a 5:45 wake up call to get ready for my television interview. The show producer, Peter, asked us questions and they taped our responses to use if you make it into the top ten.....Then I went on to the golf competition!
It was was fun. The golf course at Ventana Canyon is incredibly beautiful and the views are inspiring! I am a terrible golfer but really had a great time with the camera crew and the ladies. We got to exchange gifts with the contestants and that was a wonderful, heartwarming experience because of the thought and time that was put into the gifts. I met Mrs. America, Andrea Preuss today. I love her. She is a very nice, caring woman. I got to try on the Mrs. America crown (there is a picture with me wearing the America crown). WOW!!
We went to a BBQ tonight with Mrs. America. The food was great and the atmosphere was really relaxed.....something I think we all needed. It was at the hotel and we watched the sun go down. The sunsets here are really beautiful.....I wish you were all here to share this experience with me. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent you.
Next up, a hot shower and a soft pillow!
Love, Drennan

Drennan,
You look like you are having such a great time! For me, the kids are back in school and I am busy teaching... I thought of you when the fire alarm got pulled on accident the other day and we all had to go outside in an emergency drill. ( The preparation kits you have spoken about would come in handy in such a situation!) Anyway, I wish you the very best and hope that you will share all of the photos with me when you get back sometime! Lisa

Hi Drenn, 30 carats, that can't be that much, can it? I think I'll get you one when you get back. You're worth it!
Love you,

Hi, Drennan,
You are such a beautiful woman--stunning outside and good as gold inside. We love you so very much and are so proud of you--not so much for being Mrs. Utah as for being a sterling person. You'll make a wonderful Mrs. America.
Love, Mom

So far from what we have seen this is your pageant to win! You are so awesome and we are excited to be related to Mrs. America!
Hope you're having the time of your life...this might even trump having us as in-laws!

Hi Drennan,
We love hearing about all of your experiences. We were in Flagstaff this weekend...sorry we couldn't see you guys. It was a quick, tiring trip.
We also saw the Sidewinders, but here in SLC. We saw them play the Bees...pretty cool. The Bees won that game!
You are looking so beautiful in all of the pictures. We are cheering for you and wish you the best.
I'm sure you will do great at the dance, too. You are an amazing person. We are so glad that you can have this experience and couldn't ask for a better person to represent the women of Utah!
Good luck and we hope you win...you deserve it!
Love,
Spence and Anne

Dear Drennan,
This is just a note from Janet Skinner. I just finished reading all of your letters to everyone and I enjoyed them very much. I had a good laugh when you talked about the diaper changing and marguerita-making "contests"! At least I'd know where to start with the diaper changing but the marguerita making.....pass the salt!
You're going to do a great job and represent us well. I'm glad the dress your other designed turned out well, she put a love of imagination, time, talent and love into it.
Give your mom and dad my love and best wishes and give those cute little boys a hug too.
Good luck.
Love,
Janet Skinner
