I had many family and friends who attended the pageant to support me. Many of my coworkers were there, and even some friends from high school and college (they were the loud ones). Also there to cheer me on were my Aunt Jean and Uncle Bob, my 97 year old Grammy, the best mom ever Janice, my youngest son DJ (who was my biggest fan), and the most supportive husband in the world...Adam.

I also had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Mr DE 2008, Chris S.
