July 7- 2003

I just got back from the best weekend with my family. It was incredible. I felt so close to my dad. He and I needed to spend some time together and we did just that. We even went Go- Carting. It was so nice. Family is everything. They are so incredibly supportive. They are trying to convince me to move back to Michigan. It is quite an exciting offer. They would help find me a space and I could open a 1:1 training facility. If you know anything about the Oakland County area--- it is a very wealthy community. It might be a good market. Only time will tell if I leave Manhattan. Can you imagine? I have lived here for almost 8 years. You know-- you can take the girl out of the midwest but you can't take the midwest out of the girl.

I am just under 3 weeks out from the USA's. I am feeling good. I still have some fine tuning. That is okay. It am going to give it all I got. I am bigger than I have every been. I am holding on to my muscle-- and if I can keep my legs-- we are all good.

Here are some photo's from the weekend. But- the majority are located in my members section.
