Holly's Send off Party for Mrs. America August 2008








Holly, my pageant coach, Sarah Moses and Donnell Rank created the most amazing party to celebrate my trip to Tucson, Arizona for the Mrs. America pageant!! The cake Holly had made was a duplicate of a photo taken by Paula Preston--pink dress and all! I only wish I ate some of it--but after eating 8 of Bessie's chocolate cookies and chips, I thought I'd better not with Nationals only a few weeks away!

Carl and Faith were there and gave me a beautiful crystal necklace with my initial on it and Holly framed my crowning shot and gave me a Juicy couture wishbone necklace that I adore!!! Several sponsors came and Dr. Crutchfield sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers!! He's so sweet! My best friend Brian gave me a crystal fortune cookie with a tiny plaque that was inscribed with "You've already won" on it. Talk about putting something in the Universe!!

I was thrilled that Denise Wood and her husband came! They are just a hoot!
