Yada, Yada, Yada

I'm so happy!! My favorite show, "Sex and the City," premiered tonight on HBO. My girls and I got together and had a little celebration in honor of it. It's the final season which is a little sad. I'm just so glad that I'll be seeing New York up close and personal in a few months. Miss America is only 2 hours away from the Big Apple so I'm definitely planning on making a trip there during that time. Vacations Hawaii has great air, room, and car packages for the pageant by the way...

The CD release is nearing, I can feel it!! Life's been a little hectic for me lately, therefore I know a victory is right around the corner. However, no matter how hard life can be at times, I praise God for reminding me that I'm so blessed.

Kanoe's Mercedes is beautiful. She let me drive it tonight. We have this deal now that since she doesn't have to worry about mileage for a year, we take her car whenever we go somewhere together. Cool deal huh?

I'm very under the weather right now. If I had one wish, it would be never to get a cold again. It's so hard to sing while I'm sick and even worse, I feel like I'm letting so many people down. Of course, I'm my own worst critic and can be very hard on myself at times. Prayers would be appreciated!

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind words of encouragement to my sister and me. It's great to know there are so many wonderful people out there who care about us. It's also great connecting with people we haven't seen or spoken to in a while. Thank you for allowing us to share our lives with you!

Hey Maila! I hope that you get better. I can't wait to hear your album when it comes out. I'm sure it's going to be great, I might have to get another one because it will be playing so much in my cd player it's gonna wear out haha.

Aloha Maila! We were sooo excited when we heard the news about Miss Hawaii! Good luck to all and get better soon. Too bad you can't come to Wichita to perform...or can you? :) NIKKEN has some good nutritionals for the immune system!!!! Take care.

Maila,
Hope this finds you feeling better. God has given you such a beautiful voice. I can't wait to hear your new CD. You, Ben, and Tiffany are so uplifting at the New Hope services. Keep Praising the King! Have a safe trip to N.Y. and give Kanoe my good wishes. I will continue to pray for both of you and for our Church. It is so Awesome! to be with New Hope. Pastor Wayne always hits the mark with his sermons. Jesus is the Answer!

God Bless & Get Well,
Kani Dougan

Maila, I am home for fourth of July and several of us got together last night to catch up, and we are so proud of you and your sister. This is going to be such an amazing year for you and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. We all know your tremendous talent and it is wonderful that you get to share it with the world. Remember, at our senior's mother-daughter brunch at Kelley's you said you were going to pursue a career in singing and become a star. You are doing just that, way to go!!!!

Love,
Laura
