Crowned Miss Iowa USA 2008 😁

Reconnaissance!

Whoopsies!

Caught!!!

Working really hard before the Miss Iowa Pageant.

‘ “Hold on. Let me buckle up before we head out to dream world.” That was a joke, but it hurt my feelings. But then that was how a lot of people reacted when I talked about my dreams. It just made me try harder. ‘

Demo time!

Hmmm….is Sora starting to get the message that Wes is just not into her? Probably not, yet.

OMG! The “Incident” is revealed.

Auntie Q’s business competition comes to light.

Miss American 1975, Shirley Cothran Barret made Abbey’s heart sing when she agreed to be a judge at the Miss You Can Do It pageant.

Abbey appears to be pushed by pride, stubbornness, and HEART.

The influence of Mary Kay — cosmetics entrepreneur.

The Miss You Can Do It Pageant is born!
The national nonprofit pageant for girls and women with special needs and challenges.

Oh geez, I want to shake Sora from experience! Wes is a fucking joke and she doesn’t see it!!

A pageant girl is born 😁 👑

Family dynamics are coming to the surface.

One for the books of great examples, Abbey’s parents divorced when she was in the third grade. They remained friendly co-parents. Lived separately but stayed true to caring for their daughter. To Abbey, it was a flawless transition for the most part.
School kids are accepting and nice. High school teens, not.

I want to know what “incident” made Domi’s parents send her from Irvine, CA to Albuquerque, NM to spend the summer working in her Aunt’s nail salon to earn $500 to pay them back.

Abbey, the only child of a hog farmer and nurse, received a great foundation in love and support. Early childhood memories of her physical difference were noted and her adaptability to embrace joy where it mattered most at the time.

Wow, so cool to get Debbie’s career history from childhood. How awesome and supportive her parents were to protect her and help her grow and learn in the industry that was imbedded in her soul.

It was so good to have time to sit and read for a few minutes!

It’s great to see Finley working on moving forward personally and socially. I’m sad that her mom has cancer.
