dyk so pretty -- it was actually alot of fun -- the kids hung tough considering how late we were out past bedtime

dyk they were making faces and waving and being silly and noisy the entire time I was on the stage -- which was a while, haha

dyk we were beat out by a veteran's mom who was nominated by her SIL who had never known how mothers could be moms an dhow families were to be until he married into his MIL's family (omg, so sweet) (1st runner up)

dyk and the winner was a girl in a wheelchair (recovering -- leg/ankle issues) who nominated her mom and wrote a letter about her mom spending sleepless nights at her bedside while she (daughter) cried out in pain after her second surgery

dyk O.M.G

dyk my friend steph and I were crying... tearfully crying,,, it was so touching and no one else was moved??? WTH is wrong with people.

dyk we are convinced we were on stage with cyborgs. HAH

Dyk do you ever watch America's Next Top Model?

Dyk there was a girl on a few years ago who was autistic. She was one of the best models in the house, took beautiful pictures. But socially she could be kind of awkward.

Dyk sometimes Abi reminds me of her.

Dyk congrats!!! 2nd place is awesome!

Dyk although I'm assuming that whoever won first place was a blind nun who has adopted 13 blind kids and put them all through college with money she got through donations because of her volunteer work with doctors without borders.

Dyk because really, who else could beat you???
