It was a tremendous honor to receive the title, "Mrs. World 2007." Thank you so much to David and Elaine Marmel, Bob Mazza, and the Mrs. World Organization staff members for your hard work, dedication, and for making this pageant a successful event. It was an incredible opportunity to travel to Sochi, Russia, one the three final cities bidding for the 2014 Winter Olympics. During our tours of Sochi, I was amazed by the beauty of the city, the incredible Black Sea, The Caucasus Mountains, beautiful parks, and resorts. I made lifelong friendships with thirty of the most beautiful, intelligent married women across the world who volunteer countless hours promoting their platforms and give back to their respective communities. During my stay, I spoke about my platform, "Breast Cancer Awareness," the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and "The National Anthem Project" to news media from Sochi and St. Petersburg, at a press conference with the Mayor of Sochi, and on stage during the pageant. Thank you so much to my husband Thomas and parents, Victor and Lorraine, for your tremendous love and support and for sitting in the front row during the pageant. Thank you to my friends, family, and co-workers for the 1200 emails and 50 voicemails! And thank you so much to the citizens of Sochi for your hospitality and generosity.

Hello! I received these photos from a Russian professional photographer. I had the most incredible time in Sochi, Russia. This city is one of the candidates for the 2014 Winter Olympics! The contestants and I had a chance to drive up the beautiful Caucasian Mountains to ski, sled, ice skate, and play ice hockey. We had an exciting schedule of events everyday, rehearsals with Frit and Frat, dinner at Stalin's mansion, beautiful tours of Sochi, and meeting with the hosts Christopher and Adrienne Knight. Looking forward to using my title as Mrs. World to promote breast cancer awareness worldwide. Thank you so much to all my friends and family for your tremendous support and love.
