This trip to california has been great. I've met so many great people here on the left side. I wont forgot some great handlers out here who gave me some great tips. I've just had a great time and it really helped my girl ginger to wrk better for me. It really changed my girl for the better and I just want to say thank you to everyone who sponsored my trip with my girl here! I'm so grateful to all of you who believed in me and brought me out here. I leave at midnight tomorrow to go back home. It's a bitter sweet deal. I want to stay so bad, because i've grow attached to Laura, Laura's dog and everyone else I've met along the way here, but I really miss my mom. See I'm a big enough person to admit I miss my mommy, I know my brother would never admit it lol. I loved this trip to california and I hope to come back next year. Thank you all Especially laura for giving me a place to stay and put up with me while I was here! you guys truely made a girls dream come true!!! I'm defiantly going to fight back tears while I'm saying good by to everyone before I leave tomorrow night. Hopefully I get to see a lot of you at the nationals this year if my mom agrees to let me skip a week of school!
