Shout Out!!

People that know me well, know that I don't get mushy very often.  I'm not a lovey dovey, express your emotions, kinda girl (unless I'm talking to my son...or angry, then...Watch out!!).  But when I talk about my friend, mentor, and fellow coach, Landon, it's hard for me not to say nice things about him.  He definitely has his moments where I want to smack him, but for the most part, he is a genuinely nice person.  Honestly, he's like a brother to me.  We do the whole brother/sister thing, where we pretty much pick on each other non-stop, day in and day out.  He gets on my nerves, I get on his.  He teases me about being "old" and I tease him about his non-existent quads.  He gets a new haircut and I don't say anything about it (that burns him up haha!!)...Hey, I can't let his head get any bigger than it already is :)

Fight Gone Bad 5

Bottom line is...he helped change my life and I'll never be able to thank him enough for that.  He obviously saw something in me, and pushed me to be where I am today, and for that, I'll always be grateful.  With Regionals a week away, I just want him to know, how proud I am of him and all of his hard work.  I've been training right alongside him, and I'm telling you...this is the year he goes to the Games!!  I'll be at Regionals wearing a shirt with HIS name on it (barf!), and cheering him on as loudly as I can.

I'd wish you luck, LA, but we all know you don't need it.  Love ya brother!!
