Hello-

It has been a little while and I have recovered from the exciting two weeks of events. My husband and I enjoyed our time in Miami immensly after the Mrs. International pageant. My journey has continued as I work with America Supports You. I encourage everyone to log on to AmericaSupportsYou.mil and send a letter to the troops. It only takes a moment and is very much appreciated. There are also over 150 grass roots organizations that you can volunteer with. Little Patriots Embraced, Tennessee Marine Families and Children of Fallen Solders relief fund...just to name a few are always in need of volunteers.

Although this journey has come to an end, I cannot wait to embark on the next one! I am hoping to have my husband and love of my life home safely by years end. Again, thank you for all your warm thoughts and prayers.

To participate in next years Teen, Miss or Mrs. International pageant, log on to www.mrsinternational.com. Trust me that the journey will be unforgetable. Don't forget to always dream big! As my father use to say to me, you are an inch away from success and an inch away from failure at the same time. The direction that you choose is your choice. Choose wisely!

God bless-
