channel 9 tonight

I went to the  OKC National Memorial today to give a 1st person talk.  I do it all the time so I thought it would just be a routine thing.  Well, channel 9 was there.  Yep, they filmed the whole time and then interviewed me afterwards.  I wore the worst possible shirt for TV.  It has a wild pattern on it that is bound to make me look at least 30 lbs heavier!  So...unless tornados pop up I guess I will make a 2 second appearance on the news tonight.  Just wanted to let my buddies know!

I will watch.  Yes, we get channel 9 here in Durant on our cable! 

I just saw it and dang I feel like I looked fat!  At least the 2 seconds they aired I didn't sound like a complete hick! LOL!

crap! I have the tube on that channel and I must have just overlooked it....hopefully they will do it again

ahhh that must be why there was a tornado watch! j/k lol

im sure you looked beautiful ! 

AWESOME

Amy,
First I am sure that you did an awsome job. A speaker talking from their heart about something they have experienced, always makes a great speaker.  You did great!
I know you have spoken many times over these years and it probably never bothered you about what you were wearing, because the topic, was what was important.....I had a wonderful person remind me, when I was worried about what to wear to pick up my prize in the MIO contest ,that no one but me, cares what I am wearing, they are worried about how they are looking. It is so true too! I can tell you many news story lines over the years, but never what the people looked like.
You have come so far with your weight. It is amazing! You look amazing!!!! I am sure you look so much better in your wild pattern than you looked one year ago! I am almost positive on that one.
Relax....there is not one of us that wouldn't just love to see you speak on the news and today we  only know that you had on the most confident expression. We are proud of you no matter what!
We love you Amy!!

Thanks!  That really put it in perspective because a year ago....oh my word I would have really looked bad.  I watched it again and I think its just weird for me to see myself.  My family all said I looked great (of course they are supposed to say that, right?!).  But the important thing is the message we are trying to get out about the OKC National Memorial and the stories of Hope. 

You know Amy, I look at all your stories, as stories of....  Hope, but  also of Success and Overcoming.....I look at all the things you have overcome and succeded in and it is amazing! You are a great woman inside and out and your confidence is what causes others to look at you and say....I too can do this! Whether it is about the bombing or about your weight loss. No matter which story you are telling you have SUCCESS written all over you! 

I am sure your family was so proud of your message AND how you looked. I thought you were great!!

Enjoy your weekend!
Sherry
