Congrats!
My nephew's girlfriend was crowned Miss Teen Oklahoma over the weekend. I've actually only met her once since I live in Michigan and she obviously lives in Oklahoma but I'm proud nonetheless! You know how to pick 'em Ty!

Well, let me answer that for you. Kurtis won a "Boss" Kettering Award.
