Best Buddies "Dancing with the Starzz."


Today was our Best Buddies Dancing with the Starzz event. Our committee has been preparing for this for a very long time now, so it was so wonderful to have it be such a success. The Buddies and their celebrity partners did such a great job on their dances. It really touched my heart to see what a great job they did and how sweet and kind all of the celebrities were. What a wonderful evening.


This is Miss Utah Kayla Barclay. I am going to watch her at Miss America in January. She was also so great. I met such wonderful people at this event.

Here we are with Julia Bachison. She has been Miss Utah America and Miss Utah United States. I really can see why. She is so great.

This was Crystal Stewart's assistant Andrea. She was a way cool girl.

Utah's First Lady Mary Kaye Huntsman. I have wanted to meet her for a while. It was so fun to get to talk to her a little bit.

This is Vanessa Cheney. I met her while doing segments on KJZZ. She has been at a lot of events that I have done. She is really amazing.

Crystal's dress was amazing!

Even the Real Soccer lion was there "Leo."

This is Cody that I practiced with the other day. He and Vanessa Cheney did an amazing job.

I saw this event on the news last night and wondered if you were there. That is awesome. I remember going to the best buddies ball our senior year. My best buddy Heather lives in St. George and we still talk often. What a wonderful program.

Emily - You are the most busy person I know. I don't know how you do it? Who watches your boys while you have these events to go to? You are such an amazing person. I don't know how you manage to have the energy and desire to do all these things. Awesome job!

I want to thank you for participating at the banquet that evening. I attended with my friend Dawn who danced with Alex Austin. These individuals will be talking about this for a long time to come. People like you make a difference in my friend's life and it's a good difference! Thanks again.
