What a night!!!!! I placed 3rd runner up and very proud and excited for how well I did. Yes, we all want to win and I was there to win (as we all were) but God has other plans and it wasn't my time. Considering the calibur of ladies competing, I was shocked and beyond thrilled when they called my name! Laine won and I am excited for her. Go Red is her platform and I think she will do a lot for the partnership this year. She also won photogenic, evening gown & fitness awards.

Top 10:Deanna Linz:), Meredith Boyd, Jessica Plante,Shannon Devine, Lori Donaudy,Sasha Townsend,Patti Mercer, Laine Berry, Joy Pfister, Tiffany Love.

Top 5:
4th runner up: Sasha Townsend
3rd runner up: Deanna Linz
2nd runner up: Patti Mercer
1st runner up: Meredith Boyd
Mrs International: Laine Berry

Here are some pictures from last night and the coronation ball.

Thank you Joe & Leah, I hope I made you proud! To Joey, Clay & Terri...I love you guys!!! Thank you for the laughs and support, fabulous wardrobe & hair/makeup...I felt like Mrs International. Ms Bernee, Jodi, Deshawn...AMAZING DIRECTORS!!!! You all are fabulous. To Mary, Mel & Susanne & Susan and the entire Mrs International Staff, thank you for a wonderful week and fabulous journey. I am and always will be an International gal. You are a class act all the way.

To Andy, I know we all say we will never do it again and I won't make any promises but.....:))))) I love you my Mr International!!!! You are my everything. Today, tomorrow and always!!!!!

TO ALL OF THE LADIES OF THE CLASS OF 2008, Hold your head up high and be proud. You are all amazing ladies and so beautiful inside and out. As Matt reminded us (daily:))) there can only be one winner. In my mind, we all are just for being there. And if anyone ever ask why we do pageantry just turn to them and say..., " YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE:))))"

To my friend Laine...what a year this has been. I am so proud of you. I know you really wanted this and I think you will do great things. Rock it this year. Its your time to shine.

Lots of love to all and signing off from Chicago....Deanna & Andy
