CHEESY TOURIST PHOTO:)

I love my Carter!!!!!Taking in the view...from a distance!

More views!

I am so excited, blessed and honored to have the opportunity to compete for the title of Mrs International 2011. I really would not be here if it weren't for my incredible husband and wonderful sponsor, SKINN Cosmetics. I am also so blessed to work for the American Heart and Stroke Association so thank you for allowing me the time off!!!! This is truly a mission of the heart for me...literally!



We arrived yesterday to the Doubletree Hotel and Convention center in Skokie, Illinois.The unpacking of the car took some time so after my wonderful husband dragged multiple luggage carts up to the room, I sent him off to watch Harry Potter while I organized and hung with my little man.


 Today started with a workout and an errand then the day began. Andy and I really wanted to "tour" Chicago today as this is my final attempt at a dream for me. We have never done the tourist thing so out the maps came and off Andy, Carter and I went!

We went to the John Hancock and went up 94 floors. I am not good with heights but Andy and Car enjoyed it. We then walked around the Gold Coast and took in some lunch at Gibson's.

I did see Wisconsin and Australia today and both are equally stunning! Australia is so tall. I am so jealous! I look forward to getting to know them!


I also spoke today with a friend of mine for 20 years! We use to model together at HSN and she too is tall and stunning. Hello Mrs Kentucky! I was one of her bridesmaids! I love the International family and I am so excited to see her!


I gotta run, my son has discovered that tearing up the newspaper is almost as fun as Christmas! Good thing the Doubletree has amazing service. I may need to leave an apology note....

Listen to your heart...orientation is tomorrow at 6!





Daddy and Car!
