Aimee's debut went off without a hitch. Everyone was talking about everything: the flowers, programs, photography, the video, and everything else that was in plain view. The night was great and the group did a great job.

I'm glad I was able to be a big part of this celebration. I've never been behind the scenes before, and it's MUCH harder than being in the court. I know I pissed and moaned about it a lot. I know that I was on edge for quite a while. Although ripped my hair out and had gone over 24 hours without a wink of sleep at least twice, I had a hell of a time doing it. Just seeing and hearing the reaction to what we had created that night. There was a lot of love and energy in that ballroom.

Congratulations Aimee! You're 18 now. Let's go out and have some fun!

I love you with all my heart.
