Day one is Fresno is going so well!! My "Roomsicle" and I, Jacey Sisneros, are settled into our room with fabulous organization and an excessive amount of rhinestones and shoes! Thank goodness there was a Target near by for last minute shopping last night before we officially checked in to the room.
This morning we embarked on the first step of our journey here in Fresno. All 68 contestants, dressed in Red, White, or Blue, joined in the lobby at 8am. We took a bus ride over to City Hall where we met with the Mayor of Fresno. Each girl presented her with a gift representing their title or their hometown. As a native San Diegan I presented the Mayor with a beautiful mug from Sea World that is embellished with dolphins and sea turtles. I told her how sea turtles are able to hold their breath for 5 hours and she revealed that her son loves sea turtles! Win! Lol

After many wonderful photo-ops with the other girls we went on our way to lunch. Lunch at The Habit Burger Grill was the best meal I've had in a while! A grilled chicken sandwich with grilled onions and jalapenos. YUMM! It was a great way to continue my "diet" here at Miss CA. Thank you to The Habit for keeping us pageant girls happy and fed!

Finally, back the the hotel, Jacey and I had a quick workout - Thank you P90X! - and now we are relaxing before out next event... an outdoor BBQ at the Lester's home in Fresno. The Lester's have been a huge support of the Miss California family for as long as I've been competing. A huge thank you to them for opening their home to us. It is a fabulous location to have a BBQ with 58 Miss California contestants and members of the Kiwanis Club.
Tomorrow will be another relaxing day for me. Dance rehearsal in the morning. Roomie will have her interview!! And then another dinner event with the local Rotary Club. Monday is the day my competition begins... with interview! I am so excited to meet the judges and share my story with them. As the last interview, I will mark the beginning of the next phase of competition, the on-stage portion:
Tuesday - On Stage Question.
Wednesday - Evening Gown.
Thursday - Talent.
Friday - swimsuit.
It is a long week ahead of us, but for us here in Fresno, I know it will flash before our eyes. I'm looking forward to the outcome that will be announced on Saturday. It very well could be the beginning of a new life... as Miss California 2012! Keep your fingers crossed and I will keep you posted!
Bye for now,
Marina Inserra
