Little moment for my guy.

With 8 weeks to go, the goal this weekend was simply to qualify for nationals. && of course, he did just that ✅

But this weekend hit different than I expected. 

Bodybuilding is what built our relationship. The last time I saw Derek on stage was May 2024, when our lives were in different places and fate led us to compete at the same show.

From the day I met Derek 5 years ago until now, his mindset, discipline, & work ethic in & out of the gym have never changed. I’ll always say he’s the hardest working, most disciplined person I know. He hasn’t missed a beat: nutrition, training, everything on point. And he does it all for himself, not for anyone watching.

When you see someone every single day, you get so caught up in the journey that you don’t notice how far they’ve come, or how much they’ve impacted your life.

Watching him walk out on stage yesterday, the progress, the confidence, and all the years of work nobody sees came rushing back at once.

This sport is so much more than a sport. It’s hard and it asks a lot of you, but with the right person it pushes you to show up for yourself & for each other. He challenges me to be better every day, and I’m so proud of who we’ve both grown into.

To the guy I met 5 years ago with the man bun, gray sweatpants & the best glutes (which keep getting better 😏)… you’re living every moment you said you would, making your younger self proud, and I’m beyond lucky to be by your side.

To my favorite person, keep doing your thang. 8 weeks to finish the mission 🎯🤠🫶

Few pictures I got from comparisons this morning. Extremely happy with how I looked. Over 20lbs heavier on stage than my first show and in much better condition!

What an experience for my second show and my first time competing in Open Bodybuilding. Decided to jump into this show 3 weeks ago and I’m glad I did. Getting to stand onstage with an incredible lineup of bodybuilders at a regional show was something special. Two national level Super Heavyweights well over 250 lbs, @sshore34 and @dlindsay___ both brought it and looked incredible.

This is the first of three regional shows I plan on doing over the next month before I rebound and really grow into this Super Heavyweight class.

The goal is to be better and keep improving every time I step on stage. Excited to bring a great look to Finals later. Just getting started 🫡

Really grateful for all the support from friends and loved ones.

hello, 30 🤍

i used to wonder what this chapter would look like. turns out it looks like a table full of people who love me, a cake covered in sunflowers & my logo, && laughing until my face hurt.

my auntie & sis got on a plane just to be here. @dre_arceneaux_ifbbpro poured her whole heart into a party i’ll be talking about for years. my bestie from NY sent me the greatest gift ever ☕️ && @dlindsay___ came through with the cutest birthday surprise everrr.

to every single person who showed up && reached out, you brought something i can’t put a price on.

we ate too much, drank a little more than that, and soaked up every second.

if this is how my thirties begin, i can’t wait to see where they go. thank you for making me feel so celebrated ✨love yalllll ☠️💛🌻
