My crowning moment!
Mrs. Colorado 2011, Janell Ames!
The Royal Family.
It is crazy to think it all started four years ago with a simple "bucket" list I had created for myself, a way of rediscovery after having my third and final child.
I am so glad I took on the challenge and stepped out of my comfort zone to compete for the title of Mrs. Colorado.
The first year I competed, I stepped into a very unknown world. I had never competed in a pageant before, I grew up playing competitive sports.
As the week of the pageant drew near I was excited, nervous, and a little scared, OK incredibly scared!
I had no expectations for myself and had decided early on to just have fun and enjoy the ride.
Boy did I enjoy the ride!!
There were so many things I loved about that weekend:
- I met and bonded with so many amazing women, many of which I am still friends with today.
- I was able to get pampered, get dressed up, and be apart of a fabulous production.
- I set a goal, worked hard, and achieved it.
- I was given the opportunity to self reflect and become reacquainted with ME.
- Girls weekend....need I say more!

It has taken four years, but it has been worth every penny, every struggle, and every memory.
I am so incredibly honored to represent the amazing married women of Colorado.
I am so excited to share my year with you all. I will be posting often and catching up on all my latest events, appearances and more.
