Mrs. International 2009

With great excitement I stayed glued to the computer to find out who the new Mrs. International would be... Armaidi Shahidi Fitzgerald, Mrs. Middle East was awarded the coveted title. All 47 of the contestants did a fantastic job representing their states and country with the following placements: 1st runner up, Kristin Melton, Mrs. Illinois; 2nd runner up, Mrs. Texas, Bonnie Hubert; 3rd runner up, Mrs. Southeast, Karen Bartosh and 4th runner up, Mrs. Midwest, Randa Allen. The remainder of the top ten were: Southern States, Minnesota, Utah, Idaho and Maryland.

I am so proud of the "home ladies" Adrienne and Deanna for looking so amazing at nationals. Earlier this year I met both of them at the Mrs. Maryland pageant and know they are both passionate about their causes and are just INCREDIBLE ladies. I am so proud to call both of them my "pageant sister."

I can't wait for my own crowning moment to get the opportunity to attend Mrs. International.
