THIS IS IT!

372 Days!!! That's how long I was blessed with the title of Mrs. New Jersey United States 2008. Well, tonight we crown Mrs. NJ 2009 and how lucky that lady will be to have a year filled with such excitement and glory. There are so many to thank for supporting my dream during this year - my husband and son, best gal pal and pageant captain Pandora! Michelle and Christopher, my directors, the 2009 contestants (you guys made it soooo much fun!) I have made many new friends - Stephanie, Ceylone, DonnaLyn, Andrea, Regina, Lynette, and the list goes on.

Thank you everyone! for being my support! Thank you to all of the organizations who invited me to their functions allowing the opportunity to bring awareness to this awesome organization having made 98 appearances during my reign. Many thanks to the 2008 judges for having faith in me - hope I didn't let you down!

Thank you to my many sponsors - without your support the year would not have been as successful.

Congratulations to Robin Vitale, our Woman of Achievement for 2009! Well deserved.

I will post my farewell speech and photos later in the week, so please check back.

MICHELLE AND CHRISTOPHER - THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! I LOVE YOU!!!!
