Miss International Pageant 2014 Day One July 26th

The day to travel to the international pageant has arrived!
 
After a mad dash to get my hair done, tan refreshed, and packing finalized, I arrived at the Salt Lake Airport with the lovely Suzanne Plant for the red-eye flight through Atlanta, Georgia. I was hoping to catch up on some much needed rest, but it was freezing on the plane so I was not able to sleep at all! Luckily, we only had an hour-long flight between Atlanta and Florida, and then a shuttle promptly drove us to the Omni Hotel, where I was able to finally get some sleep!
 

The Mrs. International Pageant was earlier this evening and I absolutely loved the opportunity to attend with Suzanne! It was so fun to see all of the Miss contestants there to see the Mrs. Finals night! I loved meeting Miss Tennessee, Miss Alabama, Miss North Dakota, Miss Illinois, Miss Texas, Miss Northeast, and of course Miss International 2013! I also loved meeting the photographers and all the other amazing affiliates of the International Pageants.

I love this hot pink dress I got from One Stop Dress Shop!!
 

The pageant was amazing. All of the Mrs. contestants did such a fabulous job, and the top fifteen were very impressive women! I loved hearing their on-stage interview answers and seeing the elegance and beauty that accompanied each woman. They took my breath away in the evening gown section, escorted by their husbands, and I was so happy to watch Maggi Thorne, Mrs. Great Plains International, crowned the new Mrs. International! It was great to see Mrs. Utah International, Amy Farnsworth-Stratton, and celebrate her accomplishments. Attending the finals last night helped me get a better idea of the logistics of the Miss International pageant!

So excited to be here in Jacksonville and meet some of my fellow contestants in advance! Beautiful hotel, beautiful theatre, beautiful venue!
