    Update 6/17 !!!!!!!!! Bellingrath Gardens and line dancing!

    Hey ya'll! 
           Thank you so much for your messages!  It means so much to me to see all of your support.  The arrival ceremony was amazing!  There were so many people there so greet us!  I literally feel like a celebrity.  We are treated like royalty with gifts, food, photos, interviews, and even autographs!  All the girls are great!  I love my host family.  They are so nice and welcoming.  I already feel at home and am helping myself to the homemade brownies ;)    Today we started with brunch at the Bellingrath Gardens with our host dads.  It was incredible!  The gardens are beautiful.  It's really humid out here.  I got up at 5 am to do my Obie workout and let me tell you it was dark out and still humid!  After the gardens we went to orientation and got the low-down on what the next two weeks are lookin' like.  We had rehearsal for the opening number and that was fun.  I love it so far!  Our outfits are wicked cute!!!  After that we went line dancin'.  We toured the USS Alabama battleship and it was crazy big!!!!!  Line dancing was super fun and we had our host families involved with that.  So that was fun and now we are winding down to get up early.  My roomie and I have a radio interview tomorrow morning!!!!  I'm starting to develop my little southern accent so home should be interesting haha.  Miss ya'll so0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o much!!!!!   Keep blogging!
    Miss you and love you all
