Tonight was the capstone of an unforgettable week representing my great state of Utah in the Miss International Pageant. There were so many talented and incredible women competing for the international title; I am grateful for the opportunity to have developed friendships with so many of them!
It has been a busy week filled with service, stress, rehearsals, and little sleep!
Congratulations to the new Miss International 2014 - Samantha Riddle! I know she will do great things with this new title and wish her the best!
While I am not bringing home the International title, I am thrilled to still have the remainder of this year to continue as Miss Utah International promoting youth service as this is such an important focus.
Thank you again to all the many people who have given me of their time, talents, resources and energy in preparing for the international competition - I so appreciate your generosity!
Special thanks to my 'pageant mom' who was a great mentor, hair curler, photographer, motivator and focuser for the week - I am so grateful Suzanne Plant was able to join me and my family in Jacksonville this week!
And - my intense week was made even better by the surprise of my fabulous boyfriend, who surprised me by showing up to support me on the final night!
This is a week for the record books!
