So excited to see my future wrestler and powerlifter this November! Surprise! Hahaha Baby registry: https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/4WEHHM0YZJTY #futurelouisianalegend #surprise #littlebottesy #latechfuturepowerlifter (at Woman's Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmbn8ThhRw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z3dxnoih2jnm

I'm so happy that the @louisianalegends and now had the opportunity to get on the platform together in such a big way. 13 of us entered the meet and out of that 13 we had 7 1s place finishers, 1 2nd place finisher, 3 3rd place finisher, 1 4th place finisher, and I won best lifter with a new state record total of 852.5 kg and going 8/8 with all whitee lights. We came out dominating this year's southern Regionals! I'm very proud and thankful for my team! I'm even more happy that my Dad's side family has finally gotten to see me lift, because of out of the almost 8 years that I have been competing, they have never once seen me lift. #louisianalegends #family #louisianapowerlifting #Usapowerlifting #girlswholift @therealstrength.com1 #wearethechampions #roadtogreatness #thelegendcontinues (at Radisson Hotel Fort Worth Fossil Creek) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmgetLmBa8C/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tdtaamxhljcr

I have to give another big shout out to @realtorjordantrosclair for stepping up to be the best realtor ever. Not only did he work hard to get me my house at a good price within a month, he also cut my grass when the owners had left it unattended. Thank you so much Jordan! #greatestrealtorever #thatextramile #thelegendcontinues #grasscleancut

First, off I'd like to start with the thank yous. Thank you @packzaddy for the unbeatable training, programming, and coaching. Thank @ribic_productions for a very well run meet (the best I've ever experienced) you all went above and beyond for all that were involved in the meet. Thank you to my parents and girlfriend @shevaun_ilmsm_05 who support me even when they can't be there physically and feed me healthy meals. Thank you @thetexantoast for helping Umer with that clutch last deadlift call. And thank you @brownhann for recording and taking pictures of all my lifts! Thank you very much to @therealstrength.com1 for sponsoring me for this meet. BUY YOUR THEREALSTRENGTH.COM PRODUCTS WITH A 10% DISCOUNT WHEN YOU USE THE PROMO CODE: 💥bottesy10💥 #DONTBEAVERAGE #YOUCANTFAKEREALSTRENGTH Finally, thank you to everyone else that supported me and watched me through the live stream and sent me DM's of my lifts which helped me correct my form midmeet. Well, it was a pretty good meet. Definitely not my best meet, but 3 PRs, 1st place, a reclaimed American deadlift record and another 100 lbs barrier broken is not to shabby. I also had the honor of battling it out for the top squat and the American record deadlift with @maroonroo. It was an awesome battle that we both should be proud of. I'm definitely getting stronger and learning a lot more about gear, and there is definitely much more for me to learn and I'm willing to learn it all. I also got to see @charrgahaganaa again and fan girl all over again. I'm glad I had the pleasure to represent Louisiana once again. #louisianalegends #thelegendcontinues #therealstrength.com #americanrecordbreaker #usapowerlifting #louisianapowetlifting #louisianastrong (at Hotel RL)
