MRS. INTERNATIONAL--Thank you for all of the support.

I feel incredibly blessed and fortunate to have wonderful friends and family who sent me lots of love and support. I had 25 email messages of encouragement (which I saved) from friends all over the US and Europe. I even got flowers while I was in Chicago. These beautiful flowers are from my pageant sister Kim Takla. Thanks Kim!
And these are from The Boss--Dee Dee Brant, director of the Mrs. Oregon International pageant. She is a great lady and so sweet to have sent me flowers too.
