This was Pretty Cool...

We dont' usually tune in to the Miss American Pageant.   However, this year, we flipped over to see how our Miss Nebraska was doing.   The main reason was that she is from Gering, Nebraska, which is a neighboring town, and it was really awesome that this girl from small town, western Nebraska was competing.  On top of that all, she was only 17!

As we turned over, we became interested and watched the whole darn show, because she kept advancing, and somehow our small town pride made it worthwhile to watch!

And,

SHE WON!    How amazing, for this small town Nebraska girl.   I hope she represents the United States, Nebraska, and all young women well.
