| Here I am with the new winners and the other judges just after the Teen, Ms, and Mrs Louisiana United States Pageants! We're 'debriefing' after a great show! (left) |


| Me and a winged friend in my paradise~ Key West, FL! |

| Trick or Treat! My son, Zane, and I enjoy handing out Halloween goodies! |


| ( left) My husband, Tim, and I on our annual 'just us' trip to Key West, take a moment to grab a quick pic while catching some live music. Please support musicians in your region! (above) Here I am with Chuck- who was charming enough to talk me into entering the 'Old Timers Fiddle Contest' in Key West, and nice enough to loan me his violin! He WON- and I earned 5th place! Not bad for an amateur! |

| With my husband, Tim, and son, Zane, just after my first 'walk' in my doctoral robes at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA. Friends and family were on hand to see the culmination of 16 years of hard work and perseverance. FINALLY- I get to wear the 'floppy hat', as my son calls it! |

| My first official appearance as Mrs American Dream 2007 was in the July 4th Parade in my hometown! Many thanks to my Aunt Peg, and Uncle Jack for taking my son Zane, and me, in a ride in their gorgeous Corvette! |

| Here I Am.... hamming it up under the infamous Bert Parks statue just outside the Miss America Headquarters in Atlantic City, NJ. I was in town as the special guest of the Tropicana Resort. My husband and I received the VIP treatment while visiting the resort's show, Jukebox Live, starring my good friend, Jay Joseph! |
