Today was a great day and very busy. It started with our interviews. The judging panel was comprised of amazing individuals. Judges are Joanne Beauvior Brown, Ann Marie Pelkofer, Diana Schutz, Jack M Brown Jr and Denise Crowley Whitfield. They were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and a stunning group. I was humbled, honored and I have to admit somewhat intimidated at the calibur of the panel.

Next we had rehearsals followed by a meet and greet and dinner. It has truly been such a wonderful week and first class all the way.

Thank you to Joey, Clay and Terry for my AMAZING wardrobe (ok Amazing is my favorite word this week:)

Daddy and Carter are sleeping and I had to share the very reason why I am here...the loves of my life and to me I am already a winner with a king and a prince:)

Tomorrow...rehearsal and prelims....

Off to join my wonderful husband and son....my blessings and heros

I love the pic of both your "boys"! How precious! All the pics are great...everyone is very beautiful, but that is my favorite so far.

Easy to see the source of your glow.

Good Luck!

Deanna you personalized your journey for the Mrs. International crown. I heard numerous times that the style of the current winner is copied and I must commend you on your ability to chose your own unique style and showcase it so well. I don't think you have ever looked better (and you were extremely GORGEOUS before.) You are the epitome of what an international titleholder should be.
