These are the questions being uploaded to the Mrs. Texas International Website.

I am recording my journey towards Mrs. Texas International to Mrs. International weekly. I will be continuing my blog a Day in a Life of a Beauty Queen and be counting down the weeks torwards my goals this year. Everyone that is competiting they are competing for the coveted crown. However along the way you meet such wonderful, incredible, beautiful inside and out individuals that you develop friendships with all of you having your chosen causes we are like one large Sorority worldwide. Today I hope to hit the milestone of 3000 friends on Facebook.

How do you start each day?

My alarm goes off with the soft sound of chimes at 6:30 a.m. This starts my
day in a very serene and peaceful way. I roll over and kiss my husband on
the forehead, and I thank my lucky stars that I have such a wonderful,
loving individual that has chosen me to be his bride. I sit up and reach
down to pet my two adorable cats Kobe and Onyx, then climb on out of my bed
to get ready for work. Before leaving the house I kiss my husband goodbye
telling him that I love him. I have a one way 41 mile commute so I take
the time to call to speak with or leave a message for my son who is my
pride andjoy in life (of course this is hands-free). Since I have an hour
to commuteI take time in my car to clear my mind and start my positive
focus for the day. Overall I thank the man upstairs for my family, my
friends, and for providing me with a way to be able to give back to my
community. I have been really blessed and I am very thankful for it all.

What is one word that describes you as a wife? Why?

Defining me with just one word is difficult because, as a modern day woman,
I wear many hats. I am a wife, mother, career woman, family, friend and
ambassador for my community, my causes and my beliefs. I have been
described in multiple ways, but I have to go with the word my husband would
use, which is “genuine.” The definition of genuine means “real;” having
the qualities or values claimed; sincerely felt; candid honest and open in
relationships with others. I have found that it is best to be real and to
always be candidly honest in every aspect of my life.

Invite us to your city and explain why we want to vacation there?

When you come to Fort Worth you can experience the Old West in the Fort
Worth Stockyards. Then you can move on and discover a variety of museums
and cultural attractions spanning the old and the new in the greater
downtown areas. Next you can explore the out and indoors alike by shopping
and dining in Sundance Square. In Fort Worth you will experience the most
exciting downtown cities in Texas, thriving with 20, 30 and 40-somethings
alike in pursuit of dining, dancing, fun and quality all wrapped into one
uniquely American area. If you have little ones, or are a little one at
heart, you can visit one of the best zoos in the country. And just 20
minutes northeast of the city you can experience the thrills of NASCAR and
Indy racing on one of the world’s largest racetracks at Texas Motor
Speedway. There is wide variety which appeals to all ages. Come on out and
live the experience. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?

This will sound like a cliché however it rings very true. My grandmother
use to say “girl-child always be true to yourself and do not compromise
your beliefs because you can do anything that you set your mind to.” These
words are still with me today.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Apart from being one year away from turning a fabulous 50, I see myself
progressing down my already-chosen paths; learning new skills to benefit my
duties as wife, mother, career women, and ambassador for my community, my
causes and my beliefs. Every day I find my life to be extremely interesting
and challenging. These engaging challenges motivate me to find new ways to
grow along with my husband, my son, my family and my friends – as well as
providing me with opportunities to give back to my fellow man.
