Today is a special day for me, it is the one year anniversary of my heart procedure. One year ago I was facing one of the most difficult challenges of my life, ever since then everyday is such a gift. Thank you to Jeff, Mom, Dad, Ellen, Jimmy and Max for being my rock, I love you more than words can express.

More rehearsals today and then preliminaries tonight.


Special "anniversary" flowers from my family, I cried like a baby when I read the card.


Come on, I had to wear RED today!! Here in the lobby with the Mrs. International poster.


Trying on another red dress....

In the dressing room with Meredith Boyd, Mrs. Georgia. She is wicked awesome!! (There's some New England slang for ya!)

With my dressing room mates in our opening number Sherri Hill dresses.

With Tiffany Love, Mrs. Tennessee. She is so sweet.

We kind of match, don't we? In my evening gown after prelims, thank you so much Scott Gray for my beautiful gown!
