Mrs Tennessee America 2009

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had a wonderful time. As you all know we are building a new home, we were hoping to get in by Christmas but fell short of doing so. So yes once again, another stressful month!
I was able to attend the Collierville Christmas Parade on Dec 4th, it was the first coldest night of the year. (burr...) Colt and I rode in an antique convertible. I think he actually got more attention, I had him so bundled he looked like a marshmallow baby. He was a big help, he has the "I'm Famous Wave" down pat.
I also have been talking to teachers and principals in my local area to set up some time to speak at the high schools about drug awareness. That is one thing that I intend to do before my reign ends. Speaking of,that's only 4 more months, my how the year goes by. You girls better be getting ready, it excites me to see some of you again. I'll post again soon, bye!

My Crazy Life!!!

Hi again, it's been a while. Just to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about them, my life has been truly busy... WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE!!! I'm so excited that I can hardly wait, they say we are going to be able to celebrate Christmas in our new home. I have taken plenty of pics of the stages, I will post them soon. I want to apologize for the delay of posting, I have a lot to catch up on, as you can imagine building a home and not to mention running the business during the holidays is very time consuming. ( Oh yea I have a 3' monster that keeps mama on her toes!)
Thank you all again for the support, and as the holidays quickly approach I wish you all the very best. I will post pics soon of the Race for the Cure in Memphis.

Hi everyone, I'm just now getting pictures downloaded from the American Liver Foundation golf tournament that I attended on September 14th. Fed-Ex hosts an annual golf tournament to which all the proceeds are donated to the Liver Foundation. I was able to attend and play Vanna White for the auction. (I did so well that I'm sure Pat Sajak will be calling sometime soon!!) Unfortunately the golf tournament was rained out but lots of eating and picture taking kept us plenty busy.

Home from Tucson!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm home!!!! I'm sure everyone knows by now that I MADE THE TOP TEN! I'm so excited about the outcome there were 51 beautiful women I would have hated to be one the judges. So after a long stressful but fun week I plan to hit the ground running with my Tennessee duties. I have an appearance with the American Liver Foundation on Monday helping with the Fed X gold tournament. This is when the fun begins with my journey as Mrs. Tennessee. Thank you all for you support. A special thank you to some of the state delegates, Amanda Ugla, Brandie Jo, Michelle Allen, Mary-Marsha, and Tiffany Love for sending me cards with their words of support, it was needed.

Love,
Letitia

My first days at Mrs. America

2009-09-02T21:11:00.000-07:00

I arrived at 10am and have been running ever since. My roomate is wonderful, of course it's Mrs. Mississippi. We are having the time of our lives, very busy but still so much fun. I am unable to upload pics at this time but will have some to view by this weekend.
Today was wonderful, we all volunteered our time with Habitat of Humanity. If you could only imagine 51 women all dolled up planting trees and shrubs in 90 degree weather, well we did. It was so much fun, I got to wear my favorite cowboy boots!!! (I had been looking foward to that all week!) Well I just wanted to keep you posted, off to bed now-I have to get my beauty rest.

Love,
Letitia

I just wanted to update everyone with my plans for Mrs. America. Well .... lets see " My Life is Crazy Fun!" On the 10th I was fitted for my dress and WOW, that's all I can say about that. I finally received my costume, was getting really nervous considering I had ordered it about 7 weeks ago. Everything is coming together and I'm getting so excited, nervous, scared but still excited! I hope everyone watches online, to my understanding from the website it will be live online. Wish Me Luck!!! Love Ya'll.

In June I attended the Mrs. Mississippi pageant and there I met my future roommate for Mrs America and now a dear friend. "Isn't she beautiful!" Also had a chance to catch up with Cydney Miller- Mrs Tennessee 2008 and Brandi Brown- Mrs Oakland, getting ready to compete for Mrs Tennessee 2010. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

LOOKING GOOD GIRLS!!!!

I was recently invited to the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in my home town of Collierville, Tn . There I joined our Mayor Mr. Stan Joyner, together we revealed the cover of the town magazine.
