What?Why?When?

What is Mrs. International?
A FAMILY AFFAIR... The International Pageant system has been developed to promote today's married women, their accomplishments, and commitment to family and marriage. Around the world women are finding this system to be the opportunity to work with their husband and family to become positive role models.

Why would I enter?
The Mrs. International Pageant showcases married women-their family values, and their community service.  Each woman chooses a platform--an issue/cause she is passionate about--and spends the year promoting it in her community.

If I need to wear a sparkly crown to get people to listen...so be it!  Plus, every girl loves sparkles!  I'm going to spend the next year talking about our community children and ways we can help them become better leaders! 

When?
My appearances will begin now, and I'm super excited!  The pageant for Mrs. Oklahoma International is in March.  The winner will advance to the Mrs. International Pageant in Chicago.

I've never been a pageant-girl.  I'm more of a stay-at-home, wear sweats girl--but hey, whether I win or lose, it will be a chance for me to grow and become a better person (and maybe take a few people with me).  That's the real prize!

Plus, if I make it across the stage without fainting, I will call it a success!
