The 25th Anniversary Pageant

It was truly the greatest night of my life.  I kept praying I would win at least ONE category or make it to the finalists round... ANYTHING!  EVERYONE was going to be there...   the media, public figures, all the past Miss Guams, my family and friends.  To be honest, I never dreamed I would actually win the title. 

But it was my "dream come true"...  and I will never forget one single moment from that night...  I remember looking down into the audience right when they called my name for the award of "Best in Evening Gown" and seeing my Dad jump out of his seat with excitement.  Just seeing the proud look on his face...  made my heart melt.

... He later told me, "Right when you came out, I just KNEW you'd win that one!"
