OH ATE Thanksgiving!







Here's an update!





Just ate WAY TOO MUCH on Thanksgiving... and Friday too. Oh, it's a good feeling. But I feel groggy and slow, so I'm back to a healthy routine tomorrow!


Making plans now for the Team Universe!
I had the pleasure of going to the Nationals last weekend in Atlanta. I saw some great friends, some old and some new! The show was incredible! Amazing compeitiors!

A few pics from the weekend.

  • Me and my wonderful friend and top competitor Holly Geersen before we head to the Finals!

  • My "Sexy Jeans" Dance
  • Photoshoot with Gene in my white pretty tutu!




I will post more pictures as I get them!


I'm going to Cali this coming weekend for the Excalibur! It will be bitter sweet for me, but, I think I made the right decision for my knee long term.


I get to see some freinds again this weekend. I'll be sure to get some great candids!

Not getting on stage after all

I'm 3 weeks out from the Excalibur. I am leaner, harder, heavier and fuller than I've ever been. (A big thanks to my training partner Rob)
BUT.. and it's a BIG BUT... my knee is bruising from knee to ankle and pooling in my ankle (8 months out of surgery) PLUS my butt is still not where I want it. Since I don't have to do this show, and it's intense crunch time to get there, I don't think I will. I'll just work on getting better for the USA's and Team Universe.

There is a lot of good things about this though. I am finally focused and taking myself seriously in the "offseason" .. now thought of as my "preseason." I am in a good mindset and can't wait for next year. AND I get to go to Nationals in Atlanta to see my good friends!!!! Yay Holly!

I will do a few photoshoots in Atlanta and I'll post those pictures.
Thanks for everyone's encouragement, but I won't be on stage this year. I WILL BE NEXT YEAR, BIGGER, HARDER, LEANER AND MEANER!
