Ang,
I love the way your Mom beams with pride through the whole thing. She nearly burst with it, poor thing.

Now that you've managed the tv interview so comfortably and confidently it'll be a breeze for the Miss Wheelchair thingy. We knew you were pretty now we know your mom is, too.

Angela, just wonderful and impressive! You're great. I wish you much success in everything - the clothes, the Miss Wheelchair, whatever ...
I also liked your mom. Is that your sister next to her?

Thank you so much Karen for sharing the link... I was only given an allotted amount of time so I couldn't go into too much detail about HOW THE IDEA STARTED... which is from the site!
It was weird that the congresswoman was being transported to the rehabilitation place in Houston on that particular day that had been planned in advance for a week! The entire show was about people with disabilities. Anyway, I was extremely nervous since it was live... definitely could have copped out at any time but I faced my fear. Pretty proud of myself for that.
Yes, that was my mom trying to keep it together lol, that was my sister sitting next to her. She was not miked or they would have asked her questions. Everything just kind of came together. Our next photo shoot will have all the new stuff... coming soon!
Thank you everyone for continually supporting me, miss you guys!!!
