Wow, back from a wonderful weekend in Harrisburg. I am a very lucky lady, I walked away with 1st runner up, community service award, best ad page award, peoples choice award, and some new friends!! Congrats to Ginny the new Mrs. Maryland and Kate the new Mrs. Pennsylvania.

It is finally here, the weekend of Mrs. Pennsylvania US. I am looking forward to meeting the judges, getting to know my fellow delegates, and having some fun on stage! Good luck to all the delegates, both PA & MD. I am so impressed with the women I meet each year in pageantry. Special thanks to my friends & family for all your support and confidence in me, no matter what the outcome, you have been there for me to help me see all my accomplishments. I thank you all for that, and my husband. . . well I know this a little bias but he is the greatest husband in the world!! Thanks Jim for making me go to CrossFit even when I was exhausted from work, and thanks for being proud of me. Pageantry has allowed me to be inspired as well as inspire others, it has also made me be the best I can be. I will post on Monday after I return from Harrisburg, have a great weekend.

Thanks Siouxzan for a very informative orientation today. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the other delegates from PA & MD and to get aquainted with some walking patterns. I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2 weeks, good luck everyone!!!

Philadelphia Broad Street Run

Today Jim and I participated in our first official race, benefiting finding a cure for cancer. The Philadelphia Broad Street Run. Our official time for the 10 mile run was 01:54:05, not bad for our first race. Thanks Jim for cheering me on the WHOLE 10 miles, you are an incredible inspiration to me. I feel truly blessed to have such a supportive husband, loving family and friends, and most importantly my health which gives me the opportunity to enjoy what life has to offer. This was an emotional day for me, there was so much support along the race from the cheering Philadelphia residents, local students, volunteers, and even Mayor Nutter & Gov Ed Rendell. I love you Philly, and Jim especially!!!
