"Go Gilbert" Magazine

I hope that you all were able to view the August edition of the "202 Magazine."  What a great opportunity I had to spread the word and raise awareness about the March of Dimes.  Yay!!  The four page article that they did on me was much appreciated!

The "Go Gilbert" September issue was just released.  Check out pages 22-23!  Thank you, "Go Gilbert" for giving me the opportunity to share my story!

Arizona Humane Society Tel-A-Thon Project 121

Each day the Arizona Humane Society takes in an average of 121 animals.  Today, I had the opportunity to help at the annual Tel-A-Thon which was aired lived for 121 minutes on Channel 3.  A big thank you to all of you who donated to "Project 121" and helped support this amazing organization! 

Playing with "Lena," the beautiful Great Dane!  This was right before she headed out to be a celebrity on live TV during the Tel-A-Thon.  She is such a sweetheart!

 

6 Month Mark

Six months ago today one of my biggest dreams became a reality. I've been so blessed by this amazing journey so far and everything that has happened in my life since being crowned Mrs. Arizona America 2011!  However, more importantly, are the opportunities that I've been given to reach out, help others and truly make a difference. After all, that's what holding this title is really about! The sash is beautiful and the crown will always sparkle, but if you're not out there doing your job, then really, what is it all worth?  When I was crowned, I clearly stated that this journey would be about sharing it with the community, and so far, that's exactly what it has been.  I'm so excited for all of my events that are scheduled in the next six months. Unfortunately, there are some that I've had to turn down simply because I can't be three places at once. :0)  I'll continue to travel the state for speaking engagements, to attend events, help various charities, and to bring awareness to the March of Dimes.  I'm only half way through this amazing year as Mrs. Arizona, and the next six months are going to be incredible!

A big THANK YOU to my family and friends who have been there to truly support me!  I couldn't do this without you.
