Thank you so much for the mention. At this point winning is something I can't even imagine. Just making the finals is a dream come true. I can ride that wave and be totally satisfied. Once I stop freaking out and figure out how to enjoy it. :)
How many ways can I say congratulations to you? :)
Keira, you're the best. Thank you so much for including me in the list! I'm still completely shocked to have finaled. It's surprising RWA's website hasn't crashed, considering how many times I've checked it to make sure I'm not crazy!
Thank you again. I can't wait to see you at Nationals!!
I'm SO pleased that you finaled in THE GH. All that hard work has paid off, and the nom is very well-deserved!
Alas, I won't be at Nationals this year. We have a crazy summer with at least one family member continuously traveling.
Keira, I didn't realize you wouldn't be going! Nationals will be a bit dimmer this year, because you're not there. I hope you and yours have a wonderful, if crazily busy, summer anyway!
You're so sweet. I'm really going to miss seeing everyone. RWA is the highlight on my year!
