The Morning After the Pageant
The morning after the pageant, I met with David Marmel, CEO of Mrs. America, Elaine Marmel, Senior VP, Bob Mazza, Executive VP Marketing, and Diane Ritter, Executive Director of Mrs. AZ and Mrs. UT. I'm so lucky to work with kind, intelligent, motivating people. I'm really looking forward to this amazing year. This is going to be a wonderful opportunity to speak about "Breast Cancer Awareness" and "The National Anthem Project."
Thank you so much to 9.37 KRQ Radio, 1330 am The JOLT, Mortgage Daily, Arizona Daily Star, The Explorer, Tucson Citizen, and Sierra Vista Herald, and Channel 13 for the interviews.
My family and I went out to dinner at the Claim Jumper restaurant and I was asked to get my picture taken with the Task Force Stonewall Virginia Army National Guard. It was a pleasure meeting Calvin, Greg, and Scott. Thank you for serving our country.
Yesterday morning I was in my office returning my 200 voicemails and 300 emails! I have the best family and friends. By afternoon, my husband offered to take me for a drive.
Thomas, our dog Beau, and I drove to Mount Lemmon to hike some trails. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast!
