Abbey participated in National America Miss (NAM) for the 2nd year in a row this past weekend in Waterloo, Iowa. Mimi and Papa (Kevin's parents-for those of you who do not know) and Grandma and Papa (Greg's parents) made the long journey into corn land to show our support. However, it was Ashley who traveled a day early from Uganda to support her who wowed us all with her energy. Abbey, of course, was naturally beautiful in her blue ball gown by Tom's side for the formal wear competition. Her inner beauty was seen by the judges during acting (which she took home 1st place), and the personal introduction/interview because she came in 3rd runner up for the crown! Truly awesome as she was one of the youngest in her division this year! We were all so very proud of her!
It was great to spend time with Ben and Tom & Lynn as well!!!!
