Calling a bingo number!

I had such a great and fun evening as the bingo caller at Bel Air Elementary School's family fun night last night in Norfolk! :) I got to meet so many great people, and I saw a bunch of incredible past teachers and familiar faces from when I attended 4th and 5th grade at that school. :) What a fun night!

Norfolk Senior High Veteran's Day Program

Today was another great experience! I had the honor of meeting some amazing Veterans in Norfolk, Nebraska. Before they entered Norfolk Senior High, the high school which I attend, I got to personally thank each one of them for their service. I fully enjoyed talking to each of these Veterans, and I feel truly blessed to live in this great country for which these amazing men and women sacrificed so much. Thank you, Veterans! Your services and sacrifices will never be forgotten. Thank you again. God bless the USA!

Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all of the men and women for their service - both past and present! God bless the USA!

God is just so good!

One of those moments in life that takes your breath away....

My wonderful neighbors/friends: Tammi, Morgan, & Tanner

I love my parents so much! They are the reason why I dream big....Ever since I was a little girl, they told me to always believe in myself and never give up on my dreams. They are the best parents in the world, and words can never accurately describe how much they mean to me.

Words can't describe how much I love these two… Best siblings in the world.

I love my grandparents so much! It meant the world that they came to support me!

3 weeks have passed already...I can't wait to see what God has in store! 

                                                                                               
In honor of it already being 3 weeks since the pageant, I wanted to share some special photos from that night. I had my amazing family and friends make the trip down to Omaha to cheer me on, which truly meant the world to me. Unfortunately, I didn't get photos with all of them after coronation. I truly feel as though I have the best family and friends in the world! Feeling so blessed… Enjoy the photos! :)   xoxo ~Jasmine

3 Weeks Already...

It is so beyond crazy to think that it has already been 3 weeks since the night when I was crowned! I am so excited to start setting up appearances and affecting lives for the better! I've been participating in  my high school's musical, so I've been on a very tight schedule lately. However, our performances were this weekend, so I am ready to start appearances now more than ever! God has blessed me with this amazing opportunity, and I am so thankful!

New Friends From the Pageant!

The amazing Kira! We had never met before the pageant, but it turns out we only live 30 minutes away from each other! I'm so excited to hopefully spend more time with her! She is such a great new friend!

Deidra!! She is definitely going places...I feel so lucky to have met her! She has such a kind heart, and she's so much fun to be around! Such a sweetheart.

About 3 weeks ago, one of the most amazing weekends occurred! I arrived at Hotel Deco in Omaha, Nebraska with the dream of becoming Miss Nebraska Teen USA 2013. I came into that weekend with an open mind - ready to meet some fantastic friends and people, make everlasting memories, and if it was God's will for my life - win the title. I'd like to share some photos with you all of just SOME of the amazing friends that I made that weekend! I wish I would have taken even more pictures! I am still a newbie with all of this blogging, so please be patient with me as I learn how to do all of this! :) haha Take care and have a wonderful day!!:)
