I dont blog much but I decided to write out my experiences during the USA’s as so many things went beyond being on the actual stage. I have about four dreams that are dated a year ago that happened at this event, which lead me to believe the purpose of my attendance was deeper than what most people would understand. You will all recongize me as the girl with the crow feathers in her hair that was called off stage to remove them during lightweight pre judging . Many people thought my feathers were outragous. Here in Bountiful I am pretty much the freak muscle girl. You would figure in Vegas anything goes, but feathers. Let me explain. I went to vegas alone. As a Natural Bodybuilder I knew it would a long shot making the top five. This was the scariest thing I have ever done. Alone in my hotel room Friday evening I finally had my break down, I was really wondering why the hell I was there and how I would be able to make it on stage. I remembered I brought my crow feathers , these are real from a crow I found . I put them in my hair , and had instant confidence. I had worn these feathers to a pow wow . I debated wearing them during pre judging since you are not allowed props but felt they did not count as jewerly. When I showed up for meeting Sat morning I was able to walk into the building with confidence that I belonged , many people talked and looked, some even laughted , it did not matter, I was there . the back stage hands were not sure if it would be allowed but tried to pass me thru, when we got on stage I was called off to remove them……. and so the judging began.  Thats me in Black.

When I saw myself in these photos I was so happy, I felt that I had really improved from my last contest. I felt beautiful and muscular. My carb depleat and carb load was totally a mistake though. Out of fear of not making my weight I missed my carb loading . During the depleat I lost like five lbs. weighted in at 110.5. Sorry T I should have just gone with our plan and trusted you. Sunday afternoon I looked so full and big wow, what a pump!! You need three full days to load no doubt. I know I am not a top contender , the women in the top five belonged there. They will move on in the sport. Me this was an experience for me . I will compete in the future but it is a hobby. It turns out the feathers were my experinence , because of them people talked to me and I was able to feed them light and love. and wish them all the best in their lives. Walking around the expo was so much fun. Posing for pictures and giving interviews. Many people noticed that I was natural and could see that I was a real weight lifter because of muscle details. this made me proud of myself. Not that I would not want to be jacked its just that I am part of my community church , I am the school PE teacher and local dog groomer. ……. …..

Kelly Dobbins has been on my wall for a long time. I was able to tell her that. It was wonderful sharing with her how she inspired me thru the past few years. We took pictures together.

It was awsome to see how I looked beside my inpiration. I looked damn good. The end of the evening on Saturday night, I see Nikki Fuller. I say Nikki , she keeps walking by. I say “NIkki”" she stops and I ask If I can take a pic. she says hurry I am not wanting everyone to see. I snap a pic and she begins to interview me, She asked me how I placed and If I was a middle weight ( a question everyone asked duh maybe I should have just gone in that weight). She asked me to pose for her. I did, she was my judge that night. She said she could tell I knew how to lift by the quality not the size of my muscle. She told me she was impressed . did I ask for her opinion no, but see Love , Peace and Joy gives you cherries on top and she ended my experience with whipping cream and cherries. Speaking of Cherries, Heavenly Father sent me some help while I was in Vegas You all know him as bodyspaces ” kinkoshinkai ” Eddie. He came to my hotel to help me tan up, then he drove me around to my photo shoot and helped me pose and get mentally ready. This was so cool but not to mention that he was 6 foot tall and really handsome plus he drove a really hot Firebird. Your my friend forever Eddie.
