Another show, Another experience, Another memory.

Show is done with and now a memory.  Governor's Cup was yesterday and was a long day.  Starting off with Thursday registration, Friday tanning, and Saturday all day event.  Pre-judging was at 9:00, and getting there at 7:00 for tanning made for an early start to my day.  I was very tired and I think it showed.  I did my best on stage and was bummed I didn't place.  I think sometimes I do all this hard work to be judged for one day sounds weird sometimes.  I then remember I do all this hard work for myself regardless of judged or not.  After prejudging we headed back to the house to rest, which I really needed.  I received so much support throughout the day with texts, emails, messages, friends going with me, helping me get ready and that alone makes this experience 10 times better.  I feels so good to have the supportive friends and family that I am so blessed to have.  It's an awesome feeling to have friends think of you and wish you well and letting you know this.  I could NOT do this without the support, especially the support of my immediate family.  My husband is my rock who has held me up when I crashed down.  He is the one who listened to me, he pushed me to give more than I thought I could give.  I am truly blessed to have him and my family and those special friends in my life.  People know how much of a passion this is for me and it shows they care by their continued support.  I was in a lull heading back to finals, but once I got there, saw my trainer I felt better.  She pumped me back up.  I met some really wonderful girls, sweet and very real.  Every girl that was in my class deserved the place they received.  It was VERY TOUGH competition and I can't complain placing what I placed, 11 out of 13.  I had a wonderful time at finals, a wonderful time seeing my friends and family who came to support me and a GREAT time going to dinner with them.  I am a lucky girl for sure.  Each experience is a new, different one that I would never replace as it gives me an opportunity to grow from it.  I am happy with the end results and would not change one thing in the process.  I am taking some time off from "show prep" and will be focusing on keeping to build muscle, eating clean but having fun living also, and focusing on my plan to purse my dream/goal  I have lots ahead in my future that I can't wait to unfold.  Love this quote ~ "Win or lose you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined or focusing too much" ~ John Smith
