About Me - Bio
Introducing Monica Speer, Mrs. US Continental 2009. Monica is proud to be married to the man of her dreams, Brent, for 15 years. He is the love of her life, and her biggest supporter. He’s the first one that will tell you that his wife is Mrs. US Continental which conveniently makes him the new “Mr. US Continental!” Together, they have three beautiful children Brianna, 12 years old; Logan, 10 years old, and Blake 8 years old.
Not the typical pageant girl, Monica decided to enter the world of pageantry as a Mrs. as a goal to loose weight. She weighed 191 pounds, and chose competing in the Florida US Continental Pageant as her goal. She was focused on becoming a healthy weight, and improving her lifestyle. Monica lost 60 pounds, and in the process found herself. Little did she know that on that journey of getting healthy and losing weight that she would be crowned Mrs. Florida!
Competing in the National Pageant was a dream come true for Monica. Monica feels that there is a bigger purpose for her, and a reason that she was given the opportunity to be at the US Continental Pageant this year. She is very passionate about the US Continental System, as it positively promotes women of today. She believes it definitely provides a unique opportunity to celebrate women as they strive to achieve their goals and dreams!
Monica is very goal-oriented! She is always looking for new ways to challenge herself. She has recently taken up running, and has run in a few 5K’s. She plans on running in her first half marathon in December.
Using her platform of Empowering Women, and the American Heart Association, she plans to make appearances, volunteer, and share her story with others throughout her reign. She truly believes that if you believe in yourself and make yourself a priority, your dreams will come true.

I am the new Mrs. US Continental 2009!
My name is Monica Speer, and this is my Blog! I want to tell you what an amazing experience I had at the National pageant in Salt Lake City, Utah! The pageant was awesome, and the director, Loreen Olney made sure we had a memorable time!
All contestants arrived Wednesday July 8th to rest up for a busy 3 days! Thursday July 9th was a busy day with Orientation, lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, shopping and autograph signing at the Gateway mall! Followed by a guest appearance at the Bee's baseball game!
Friday was AMAZING with a workshop with guest speaker Cherie Burton. She was incredible. Check her out at http://www.bluerosecommunications.com/.
Next the contestants were treated to a makeup session by High Maintenance Salon of Salt Lake City. They do beautiful work.
Friday evening interviews took place with five of the most amazing judges I've ever interviewed with!
Saturday was rehersals, and the best produced pageant that was held at the Rose Wagner Theater! It was a awesome, and the contestants were so much fun!
My name being called as the new Mrs. US Continental is a moment I will never forget! The prize package was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Ideal Image gift certificate, La Casa Hermosa gift certificate, jewelry, faux fur, purses, luggage, etc. One of our prizes we got the to take advantage of the very next morning after the pageant - a photo shoot with with Marc Reynolds. We had a blast, and Marc took awesome pictures!
I look forward to an exciting year of appearances, and will keep everyone up to date here on my new BLOG!!
