I LOVE my Phillies!!! I am so proud to be born and raised in the Philadelphia area, especially proud of the Philadelpha Phillies Organization. There are so many hero's on the team that contribute to the greatness. . . Howard, Chooch, Utley, Halladay, Polanco, and many more. The man I think we all owe a great deal of thanks to is Charlie Manuel. . . our coach!! The definition of a good leader is someone who makes it easy for others to succeed. . . Charlie you do this for our team!! Keep up the good work Phillies, we love you!!

I spent the afternoon with some of my best friends today!!! We gathered today for the annual Alzheimer's Association walk "Miles For Millie". Thanks Danielle for hosting this wonderful event. We got in a good 5k run today all for a great cause. Love you ladies!!!

I am home safe and sound from Myrtle Beach!! I had some great stage time and gained a lot of experience this year! I did not come home as your new Mrs. All American Woman but I came come a greener person. I am still green and growing, I am a better person every time I put myself out on a limb and pageants do this for me. My goal in pageants was to improve my interview and communication skills, I feel I have done that. I had a perfect 50 and 2 49's from interviews on the first day so I could not ask for more. It was a very tough group of ladies competing and the judges in the end chose a beautiful representative inside and out. . . congrats Melissa!!!! I had quality time with my friend Marci and met some great new friends and I am thankful for that as well. Congrats to all the 2011 queens crowned at the Mrs. All American and All American pageants, best wishes for a successful year ahead!
