I had such a nice weekend with family, friends and the contestants. The Miss Teen, Preteen and Mrs Categories had some remarkable women and young ladies competing. I am sure it was hard for the judges to choose and as we all know…there can only be one winner!



In the Mrs:



Adrienne Watson Carver- Winner and winner of most people in the audience

Deanna Linz- First Runner up and Photogenic (Clay Spann did my photos and ad and he is AMAZING!!!)

LaQuisha Hall- 2nd runner up and Congeniality



I did my best and I have no regrets. I love the International system and family. Clay Spann, Joey Rutherford and Terri came in from Alabama to do my hair, make up and to GET ME INTO THAT DRESS))) After having a baby in January, I am not “Mrs Fitness” yet so some things were a bit tight….who breathes in a pageant anyway….right? They are remarkable people and geniuses when it comes to wardrobe and makeup. I have been working with them for 4 years now and feel so lucky to have them in my life. There links are at the top of the blog and I highly recommend them!!!!



My good friend Amy Gregario also flew in from Illinois for support. She had quite the spread in the hotel room for after the pageant. SOOOOOO sweet! Love you AMY!!!!! You have been such a wonderful friend to me and I thank you so much for ALWAYS being there. Not sure what I would do without our daily calls and text for motivation. You look AMAZING!



I have to say all the contestants were so sweet. What an amazing group of caring and sincere ladies.



The beautiful Mrs Laine Berry was also in attendance and judged the Teen category. She looked STUNNING (of course) and I am so proud of all the work she is doing for Go Red and the International system.



To Joe & Dimitri….ahh the journey….thank you for believing in me. Hugging you all the way from Maryland!!!! With both arms!



Andy, I won’t tell you I will never compete again because that would be a LIE))))) I still have one more chance to be Mrs International!!!! After that I am done...no REALLY!!!!!


I know there was a lot of question about me doing the pageant and I am glad I did. I will continue to do my work with America Supports You, Go Red and various other organizations. It is important to get out there and make a difference. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed because lets face it, we wouldn’t enter a pageant if we didn’t want to win; however, I am also very excited for Adrienne. She will do remarkable things for the state of Maryland and I think will shine in Chicago. Supporting her all the way!





Carter is doing well and growing daily. I am so proud of him. Thank you to all who came to see him this weekend. High five from Carter!



Much love to all….Deanna, Andy, Carter, Halo, Josie & Jack
