so I lost my wallet..... I think it happened last Fri/Sat, but of course I didn't realize that it was lost until Monday when I was almost out of gas and stopped at the gas station to fill up.... hmm no wallet!
So long story short, after making sure I checked everywhere for it, I contacted the bank at which time I found out someone had a really fun time with my debit card the previous couple of days!
So spent hours on the phone with the bank, the social security office and the driver's license office.
Thankfully the bank will take care of things and refund my money.
Ok so then off to the bank to get a new account- done..... then off to the driver's license office to get a new license.... the lady says to me "are you aware that your driver's license has been revoked".... UHHH "obviously not" I said!
Apparently her computer system showed an unpaid speeding ticket from 2008... then she proceeds to tell me to contact Elbert County, pay the ticket and then I'll have to re-take my written test to attain my permit, which I'll have to keep for 6 months, then re-take my driving test before I can get my license back.
SERIOUSLY???
I knew there must have been an error, because if I hadn't paid my ticket there would have been a warrant issued for me, and when I got pulled over all of those times between 2008-2010, they would have hauled me off to the "big house".... LOL
anyways after calling Elbert County, we discovered it was just an error on their part, and now I'll get the pleasure of going back to sit in line at the drivers license office again tomorrow!
YAY FOR ME!
good times.... good times
If God was testing me, I feel confident in saying that I passed with flying colors! I didn't get mad, upset, rude, or frustrated... I just had to laugh!

An OMG Moment!
So cruising South on Parker Rd today minding my biz..... there was a car in front of me that I noticed was really swirving ALL OVER the road! People were honking and going around, etc. Beings I have a GINORMOUS (is that a word??? LOL) car I got right behind the "out of control" car thinking I could hopefully prevent a wreck. I called CSP and told them what was going on, gave them the license plate number and let them know where we were. As I'm talking the car is going off the road, back on the road, in and out of lanes.... totally out of control! I am just trying to stay close behind with my hazard lights on, again hoping to prevent an accident! Of course my first assumption was "this person is WASTED" LOL
So after a couple of miles or so, the car went straight off into the median and came to a screeching hault!
I'm still on the phone with CSP at this point and park and run up to see if the individual was ok.
It was just this little old lady, and she was passed out cold! :(
I checked her pulse, still breathing, THANK GOODNESS! And then she started to wake up... she was so out of it! She was able to inform me that she was in fact diabetic, so we quick tested her blood sugar which was dangerously low (32)...... she was barely holding her eyes open! I ran to my car to get some food (good thing I always have a cooler full of healthy snacks and meals !) I grabbed an apple and headed back to her.
She could barely eat it.... so scary! Soon the paramedics showed up and hauled her off!
WOW! OMG moment of the day! :)
Do you have an OMG moment???? Please share!

Doing the best with what YOU have...
Many people asked me all of the time how I have been successful with my personal training business and other business endeavors. First I want to say thank you for the compliment! :) I believe knowing what your gifts are and using them to help others is a great key to being successful! You also have to remain a humble and kind person, no matter how much success comes your way, at the end of the day we are all the same and we are all created equal. Don't try to be something that your not.... as I've told people many times I would have loved to be a rockstar LOL, only 1 problem... I cannot sing! So I was able to find something that I could do well, and had a passion for.... that is an equation for success!
You also have to be willing to work hard and be patient! Anything worth having takes a lot of hard work, and trust me I have had my fair share of let down's and "no's" from people, companies, etc. I have also been drug through the mud numerous times by people and at the time went through what seemed to be failures. Just remember that being persistant, consistant and having passion for what you do and knowing who you are in Chirst will get you further then anything else ever could!
Anything is possible! Believe and Achieve!

1st of many great/strange stories from Canada!
ok so after the show was over we had to go downtown to check out Toronto! So me, Bethany and our 2 new friends- Karen and Lori headed down to check out the festivities.
They had some kind of street festival going on, so we walked around to check that out.... I think we stopped 3 different times to eat, and of course the girls got their drink on! There was a little band playing in the street so we all busted out some serious dance moves.... 4 hot girls dancing in the street is sure to attract quite the crowd! LOL fun times!
We wanted to go to this restraunt/tower that everyone had told us about so we headed that direction.
On the way we passed this outdoor bar/grill and Bethany and Karen spotted some cute boys. Being the single girls that they are, of course they wanted to go in. So we all go in and take a seat at the bar. The girls ordered some beers, I of course had my water LOL
So this guy sitting to the left of Karen and I starts talking to us.... STRANGEST conversation I have ever been a part of seriously!
Here's how it went:
STRANGE GUY: "You ladies are so beautiful.... my name is Rick Jones I'm from Toronto Canada and I'm 35 years old. I'm a convict. "
....... uhhhh yea that's right he gave his entire "profile" and then said he's a convict who has already served time and has his next trial in October and that he'll be going back in for another 3 years.
wow! ok... so being the curious girls we are, we ask "what did you do"
STRANGE GUY: "Trafficing, assault, and something else that I don't want to talk about. But you girls, you are good girls.... you girls are gonna make it I just know it! You know I made some mistakes, but I'll be ok I'll be ok."
JENNY: "That's right, just keep moving forward you'll be ok."
KAREN: "Everyone makes mistakes just do your time, and you'll be ok."
STRANGE GUY: "Yes I just need to make sure I can get enough heroin and cocaine stuffed up my a** before I go back in so I make it through...."
uhhhh (Karen and Jenny sit in silence for a few moments..... )
KAREN: "Doesn't that hurt???"
STRANGE GUY: "oh yea hurts like hel*, but done it before, I can do it again."
Jenny:"ok well we need to go to the bathroom!"
LOL
now tell me that isn't the strangest conversation you've ever heard!
WOW! Needless to say we stayed far far away from the strange guy after that!
more stories to come!

Show's over!
Well its about 3am in Toronto... long day for all of us competitors for sure! The show was wonderful! I met so many new and wonderful people, just love making new friends! The 1 million dollar stage production of this show was simply amaze, and Nick Carter performing was pretty cool too ;)
This was not only my first competition as a pro, but also my first show with this division. I certainly brought my best, and worked by butt off to be on that stage! These athletes are phenominal, there is no if, and's, or but's about it! I found myself standing in line with these pro girls thinking "wow am I really a part of this???"
LOL and yes I was a part of it, and what an amazing experience and honor it was! There is always work to be done as a competitor, and always improvements to make!
For me to compete in this division and place in the top 3-5, I will definetely need to be more conditioned (leaner) my physique was lean, but compared to these girls my physique was too soft.
I love the challege of learning, growing, changing and improving! So as soon as I get home its back to work in preperation for the next show!
The true real rewards of this show have been the entire experience....the memories that have been made, the funny stories to tell, meeting so many people from all over the world, and the new friendnships that have been made! We are all winners!
Good night all talk soon

Stories to tell already!
So left Denver late last night.... red eye flight into Newark simple enough right??? We were set to land in Newark at 5:30am and my Toronto flight was to leave Newark at 6:30am... plenty of time right? Of course I was sitting in the very back row of the plane between 2 men, one who I swear had no idea what deodorant was and the other needed a seat belt extension to get the belt around him. (you get the picture.) Beings it was a flight through the night everyone was pretty much sleeping... so of course they were both snoring and to top it off the "odor eater needed" fella had his hand in his pants while he was sleeping ! SUPER!!! LOL
Well after the 3 hour flight that seemed like 20 hours, we arrived 20 minutes late into Newark and of course I wasn't even at the right concourse for my connection to Toronto...so after seriously bustin a move to get to my gate right at 6:34am, I saw the board.... "6:30am Toronto FLIGHT CANCELLED"....
next flight out 8:30am... oh but wait there is a horrible storm so we wouldn't end up leaving Newark until after 11am. Afer boarding the plane at 11am, we then sat on the plane for another hour before finally leaving!
I was supposed to have arrived in Toronto at 8:30am... actual arrival time, 1:40pm! Ok now off to baggage claim.... can you take a wild guess??? Bags still in Newark! OF COURSE they are! LOL
at this point I've had no sleep, no food, no water.....pretty much delusional! I just had to stop and laugh!
God, is this a test??? LOL haven't I had enough tests in my life for heaven's sake!
Finally made it to the hotel and I am about to get some food in my belly and crash!
Let's hope any other stories will be a little more uplifting..... although you must admit, it is rather humurous!
Make sure to watch this blog and Facebook for other updates, news, stories, etc! Gonna be an awesome weekend!
talk soon
