I was so excited to attend the 2009 Mrs. LA America pageant in Baton Rouge to cheer on several pageant friends who were competing. Wow! What a wonderful example of how incredible the married women of Louisiana truly are. The competition was tough, and all of the ladies were absolutely beautiful! At the end of the night, Jennifer McClain Armond captured the title. Jennifer and I traveled together as festival queens (many years ago, but we won't say exactly how many!), and competed together in the LA USA pageant. I am definitely looking forward to traveling together this year as we represent the extraordinary married women of Louisiana....good luck at Mrs. America!
