13 days and counting...

Wow…where do I begin to start. These past few weeks have been jammed packed for me. Since the Mississauga show I’ve been kicking things in to high gear for the Nationals which is coming up in less than 2 weeks. The time is flying by and since we are busy practically every day now till we fly out on the 28^th I know these next couple of weeks are going to be a blur. We have everything booked in Edmonton already (hotel and car), received the tickets in the mail, booked the flight, booked my hair appointments and now there are just a couple minor details and we’ll be ready to rock and roll! Everyone has been incredibly supportive this year and its made a huge difference in my prep….this is by far the best my physique has looked for any of my past competitions. I can’t wait to present a different package on the National stage this year.

2 Saturdays ago, I was in attendance during the Fame Expo with Allmax. It was a lot fun working the booth and having many of the Allmax team there. All of the Allmax sponsored athletes are incredible people…beautiful on the inside and out. I got the chance to meet a lot of new people and reunite with old friends. It was a great day.
When I arrived home after the fame show…I threw on a coat of protan because the next day I had to travel back to Toronto for an Allmax photo shoot. The shoot was fantastic. I can’t wait to see the pics..All of the athletes were in peak condition and I’m sure the camera's were lov’n it! It was nice getting to know and hanging out with the Allmax team. After I arrived home from the shoot, Darrin and I went and took some additional pics outside since i had the protan on.

This past Friday marked the day of the premier SAF model search presented by Doug Schneider and promoted by Jamor Productions. Allmax was one of the main sponsors and they couldn’t have chosen a more superb event to sponsor. Friday afternoon I headed out to Toronto. I’m not very good with directions—you could say I’m directionally dysfunctional…lol..I drove out to York University by myself and found the university…but that was about it..I had to call my good friend Brenda to come and find me. She rescued me and we finally made it to the hall. The model search was held at a hall in side the York U campus. It was beautiful!! The event was AMAZING and the girls were all stunning. I had the honour of being one of the judges. Talk about stressful!! Soo many beautiful girls and the competition was fierce. The whole stage lit up with beauty, grace and confidence. Keep your eyes open for the newest girls of SAF. I want to say to all the girls that competed…congratulations on a fabulous performance--each and every one of you looked phenomenal!! The audience was treated to IFBB judge; Winston Roberts and IFBB pro fitness competitor Mindi O’Brien as mc’s for the evening. They kept the audience entertained throughout the entire event with lots of jokes, humour and details about each one of the competitors. The event was very well organized and ran very smoothly. After the show was done..another close friend of mine, Tami, made sure I didn’t get lost going home! Thank goodness for friendsJ

Today is father’s day and I would like to wish all of the father’s (especially Darrin, Dick and my dad) out there a very happy and enjoyable day!! Today is the the day to take moment and tell your fathers that you love them!!
