In person she seems every bit as sweet and genuine as her pictures indicate and I can only hope that all her experiences in this industry are positive.

I have had some criticism for the "Midwest" brand in the past and I am officially retiring as a detractor. Not that anyone cares necessarily but it's in the past and it never concerned me and it never concerned Val.

I wish nothing but the best for this amazing girl, looking forward to seeing her succeed.
