I did it!




It is currently 3:15 AM, and I am wide-awake, grinning from ear to ear, and wearing my pajamas AND my crown. After hundreds of hours of preparations, tonight I was crowned Mrs. Georgia America 2010. I am honored and down-right excited to receive this title and determined to leave a strong, sustainable legacy as Mrs. Georgia. In just a few short hours I will be contacting local papers, setting up sponsorship meetings, printing business cards, and beginning what is bound to be a remarkable journey. I plan to record my memories here and hope they serve as an inspiration to my family, friends, and married women everywhere. Georgia, I am honored to serve you.

    Love it!! That picture is awesome. Dan looks so happy for you. Congrats!! I couldn't be more excited for you! You definitely deserved it. The fact that you went to Hawaii and the worst thing you had was a few sips of a tropical drink is pretty impressive. You will be an amazing representative for Mrs. Georgia America. On to the next crown!! Mrs. America ALL THE WAY!
