I left Kansas City Airport Tuesday at 11:15 am and arrived in Chicago O'Hare Airport at 1:15pm. I enjoyed a pleasant, but fast taxi ride to my hotel where I met a group of ladies in the lobby when I checked in!
I ended up without a room mate, but appreciated it when I had to get dressed in the morning and in between events! I learned a lot about pageants---They are fashion shows! When someone tells me "it's time for rehearsal" I think of sweats and a t-shirt--not a gown! Some ladies changed gowns every break! They had the most beautiful gowns! If I get the itch to try again--I will be ready!
I made some amazing friends! You would not believe the empowerment you get from being in the presence of a group of women who have a specific purpose! With the new partnership the International Pageant made with The American Heart Association and their Go Red program--WOW! It is an amazing cause!
I want to Thank all those who were a tremendous support for me during this adventure! But just so you know---It isn't over yet! I have things planned for my remaining time as Mrs. Kansas! Keep a look out for more info!
