Here's the Fitness Together Ad that will run in the Your Hub section of the Denver Post August 17, 24, and 31. For those of you looking for a different kind of gym, one that gives you the results you desire for competition, contact the folks at Fitness Together. They have been so good to me! They were pivotal in helping me take the "baby weight" off 2 years ago!
That was the theme for our visit with the girls at Lost and Found Residential Facility this week. It was powerful to share our stories (Tricia Dampier, State Director and Julie Nutter, Mrs. Foothills 2006, also participated) and to listen deeply to the girls' stories.
How amazing these girls are! We talked about dreams and the difference between a "wish" and a "goal." It was amazing to hear teenage girls talk about the meaning of each word and the specific goals that they personally want achieve.
It was fun to see each of the girls' faces light up when I crowned them!
Mrs. Colorado's got together to celebrate the coming of Baby Boy Stark (James and Emily Stark, Mrs. Colorado 2002). It was great to visit and laugh with all. The husbands took the title of "Guesstures Champs." But that title will be short lived, as we'll all need to get together soon to redeem ourselves! :-)

Despite the rain, we had a nice time at the Families First Country Fair Sunday, July 9th. Owen led Scott around the zoo, while I played host to families dining and participating in the silent auction. Owen and I posed for a quick photo before venturing outdoors with our umbrella!
What a great night for Janie Allen, the new Miss Colorado 2006! Scott (my newly appointed photographer :-) and I really enjoyed watching the Miss Colorado pageant this year. Just a couple of snapshots to share....

Hope all of you were able to tune in today for the Colorado and Company program! I'm so excited and honored to have the opportunity to speak the message of the Mrs. Colorado America organization in the media. The last couple of weeks have been so rewarding. Owen (21 months) still isn't sure who he's watching on T.V. I think the crown is throwing him off. :-) I look forward to more appearances and the chance to speak about Mrs. Colorado America's involvement with Veteran's Hospital, Lost and Found, Champa House and Families First in the weeks to come. Speaking about my plans for starting the Mrs. Colorado Foundation is equally exciting. Hope all of you are enjoying the beautiful Colorado weather!
