I had the most amazing experience this week, as I participated in the 2011 Mrs. Colorado Pageant. While I did not place in the top 15, which was my goal, I had a wonderful time and wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I met some amazing women and made some great friends, I was inspired by the other title holders and previous Mrs. Colorado's, and I gained a great deal of knowledge about myself. I will be forever grateful to Emily Stark for giving me the opportunity to represent my area in this year's pageant and to everyone else who was there this weekend for what they taught me and what I experienced. I also appreciate the recognition I received from Emily during our orientation, in which she gave me an award for "Title Holder of the Year"; that really meant a lot.
I enjoyed this experience so much, I believe that I'm going to apply to compete again for 2012 and was so inspired, that I have some ideas in my head of what I can do to help some people who have experience with domestic/dating violence and/or are advocates against domestic violence. My mind is spinning right now with all the things I want to do. For any of my readers who are married and live in Colorado, if you want an experience of a lifetime, visit the Mrs. Colorado website and contact Emily about competing...the experience alone is worth it. I PROMISE!!!
