Julia, Kimberly, Ammie, Heidie, Abbey, Brynn, Abbie, Skye, and Evelyn… Thank you! 💙
Emma and I couldn’t have asked for a better inaugural to bring to High Point, North Carolina for the America’s United States Pageant. Every one of you brought beauty on the outside and the inside, kindness, grace, and true sisterhood. You were all described as polished, and We couldn’t agree more. No matter what the results said, you all won in our heart.
From our late-night conversations, to moments when some of us wanted to throw in the towel (yes, I was guilty too 😅), to Abbey confidently showing up and absolutely slaying as our new Miss! We stuck together, lifted each other up, and made it through. We did it!
A huge thank you also goes to your amazing families. Liz (Abbie’s mom), you were everyone’s lifesaver. From helping with shuttles to steaming what felt like a hundred gowns, you truly became all of our pageant mom. Bill (Julia’s husband), thank you for your support and our morning chats, and for helping keep our enthusiastic Julia grounded. You two are the sweetest! Will, your prayers and fun personality were such a breath of fresh air. Tami, you and your sister always willing to lend a hand and a SNACK (best idea ever). You all are certified cockroach killers, ha! We hope you know how much we appreciate you both! And to the Chatto/Ryan family… will you adopt me, please? 😂
Thank you all for making 2026 nationals, one we’ll never forget. ❤️
