My daughter is going on a journey.

First she did Michigan’s Junior Miss.

Now she’s preparing to do Miss Michigan USA. You may have heard of the current Miss Michigan. Her name is Rima Fakih, and she is also Miss USA.

Rima’s win at Miss USA has significantly raised the profile of the Miss Michigan competition. My daughter competes this weekend against 69 other young ladies. My daughter is Miss Kalamazoo.

We are so excited we can barely breathe.
