She is one adorable little girl. Her book also gives some back story to her time afterwards on the show which makes sense. Def. a must read. Thanks for all the pics and articles.

ITA with everything you said and agree her book is a must read. yes

I enjoyed it so much I read it more than once. laugh out loud

Ava is one well photographed little girl. What a cutie. Be funny if the next one they have is a boy with Melissa's coloring.

Looks like she pretty much confirmed on her FB what it was with this exchange:

Melissa is this the "exciting news" you were referring to and had to turn down because it required a move to LA?

10 Most Beautiful Women in Dallas

Melissa Rycroft Strickland
Age: 30
Occupation: Entertainer

Why She’s a Semifinalist: If you're already one of Melissa's fans, you'll remember following her love life on the 13th season of The Bachelor. You also cheered her on as she danced through one season of Dancing with the Stars, hosted a season of Bachelor Pad, and came back to win an all-star round of Dancing with the Stars. (The prized mirror-ball trophy is in her game room.) But before all that, she was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader for two seasons. "Being from Dallas, it's kind of the pinnacle of what you can do as a dancer," she says. Now, she’s happily married, a mommy of one, and juggling her career as a celebrity, making appearances on Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, and The Insider. "I feel like I'm in a bit of a fairytale. I'm pretty proud of where I'm come from and what I've accomplished," she says.

Fun Fact: Strickland's plans for the future include opening a local fitness studio.

I agree it would have been fun to watch Melissa on E! regularly if she'd said yes to that gig, but I understand and respect her decision to turn it down. It would have required a permanent move to LA and it's pretty clear she wants her home base to be Dallas. Hopefully she'll still do some part time gigs where we can see her.

From the link I posted above it says her future goal is to open a fitness studio in Dallas. That also sounds like a great fit for her. yes
