Miss and Miss Teen International 2013
Just as all of us delegates from Mrs. International were packing up and heading home, all the contestants for Miss and Miss Teen International were heading into Chicago along with their families.
It was a privilege to sit in the Presidential box with Mel and Mary Richardson, along with their family, to watch the preliminaries for the Miss and Miss Teen contestants. Each of these young women worked hard to be there; not only in terms of themselves, but also on behalf of their platforms.
One of those evenings, I was honored to be invited to dine with the Richardson’s and their core team. I don’t care to call them a team though. They ARE an integral part of the International Pageant system, but they are also family to the Richardson’s. They've known each other not just for years, but for decades. And that says a lot don't you think?
John had been in a golf tournament all week, but he was able to join me on finals night. Although the preliminaries and final night help the judges select the new Miss and Miss Teen International 2013, it was also a way to celebrate the year of hard work both Krista Wanous and Caroline Crowley.
Congratulations to the new Miss Teen International 2013 Haley Pontius and the new Miss International 2013 Jesse Ladoue. Both are smart, beautiful and accomplished ladies. I had the chance to meet Jesse during my coronation ball the Saturday before and was struck by how elegant she is. Haley is a joy as I found after she was crowned. The three of us will get a chance to know each other some more during our official photo shoot with Clay Spann!
Be the change,

My husband (and Mr. International 2013) escorted me on finals night.
