A ton has happened since I last wrote. I decided to do one more figure competition after I won my class at the Julie Palmer in June. After vacation I went back into dieting and training for almost nine weeks to get ready for the Ohio State and Great Lakes shows, two shows that took place at the same venue back to back on the same day. I was so nervous because the competition was much stronger at this show, plus I was all alone. Miami's first home game was that day and Zak wouldn't be able to come. However, between the prejuding and evening shows Zak called and said he'd left directly after the game and was on his way up with Reagan. My heart soared and I was so thrilled that they'd be able to come. When the awards were presented I received first in my class in both the Ohio State and Great Lakes shows!!!! I didn't win the overall (it went to the same girl who won the Julie Palmer), however I was elated!
I may have qualified to do national shows, but Zak and I have decided to put that on the backburner and reprioritize. I feel that God put me on this Earth to be a mommy and a wife first and foremost, and I want more children. So, we're trying for Baby #2! I'll keep you posted on that!
Since the show I feel that my life has gotten back into a normal, and happy, routine. I can now enjoy meals with my family, take care of my home, and play with Reagan. Of course I still go to the gym, I love it! However, my priorities lie with my home and my family. Til next time......
