Hey everyone, just wanted to update you on how things are going out here!  Yesterday was somewhat of a relaxing day for me.  While the rest of the contestants were shooting, the first group of us were working out then we shot some video interviews that are now posted on the contest site.  Last night was a lot of fun, we enjoyed some time at "the Standard" in LA with Tiffany, the bodybuilding.com transformation of the year winner.

 Today was our day at Universal Studios.  We woke up to a really dreary day that only got worse when it started raining.  No worries though, we braved the weather and spread the good word at Universal for an hour.  Lots of pictures were taken by Nick Scott, professional wheelchair bodybuilder that will soon be up on his site.  Bodyspace will have many new members soon   Tonight is our last night to relax before the big day tomorow.  I wanted to thank everyone one more time for all the support and for the support you give to this site.  I really am honored to be among the top 10 finalists on what i consider to be the best site on the net!  Dont forget the webcast tomorow, we are all excited to be on stage and would love for you to watch!!!

Well day one is over and wow it was so much fun!!!!  I landed at LAX around noon yesterday and was picked up by Mick.  We then picked up Norma and Sean, I was really excited to meet them both but especially Norma since i have been working with her   From the airport we quickly drove to the hotel, dropped our stuff off, and headed straight to the Ironman Studio for our photoshoot with famed photographer Michael Neveux.  He has an AMAZING studio where we met up with some of the other contestants Kim and Pauline.  Everyone looked amazing and was it so much fun to all get to hang together.  We shot until about 9pm last night and then came back where everyone got some much needed rest. 

 I cant even begin to describe how happy I am to be here, its a dream come true.  Thank you to everyone who believed in me and made this trip possible for me….hopefully after Saturday I will make you all proud as spokesmodel
