Was Miss America fun or what? Kanoe was the bomb. My sister, Moki, and I have money on it that she'll be called for a reality show. Maybe she'll be the next Bachelorette? Survivor? Anyway, she's very happy to be home and I must admit, I'm happy she's home too. Let me clarify something as well: she does know what "bling-bling" is. Apparently, her finger slipped and pressed the wrong button. If you'd like to see lots of Miss America pics, go to: Miss America
She was definitely the crowd favorite. Everyday, she was in the Philadelphia and Atlantic City papers. It's beyond words how exciting it was.
The train doesn't stop here now that we're home. The media frenzy has been crazy, but fun. The cool thing is that we're tag teaming since my CD is coming out TOMORROW!! Both of us sang on KGMB and they gave a great plug to the CD. God really knows what he's doing. Had my CD come out any earlier or later, his work wouldn't have been as effective. I'll write more about that later.
Thank you for the prayers and support. It's great to be home and to have our girl home.

I was almost in tears at the very end. Tell her "Congrats" for us. I can't wait to buy your CD. I have been patiently waiting for its release. I am so proud to know two great young women that are both so blessed with talent. Take care!
