The Only Time I Have Ever Cried At A Game!!

Hey Ya'll! Sorry I haven't been on lately! Things have been crazy around here as usual!! I was able to go home for my lil bro's final high school game on Tues! No one knew I was coming! So, when I walked onto that field.. my families faces said it all! My lil brother Zac was the first one to see me! He shook his head and smiled! Then I walked onto the field towards my dad and the first words out of his mouth were, "You dirty lil liar!" Ha ha the night before, he had called me and I told him that I hated that I couldn't be there! Ha ha! But I believe my mom's reaction was the best! I had called them from the field. They didn't know I was there. They told me that they were on their way (her and my sis) to the game! I put on my pouty voice and told them that I hated that I couldn't be there so bad! N how I was so jealous of them! Ha ha! I told them to have fun and call me and let me know how the game went! Naturally I found my way onto the sideline for the game! (What, you think I am actually gonna watch a game from the bleachers! Ha ha!) Then as I turn my head I see my mom and sis! Now I have to fill you in on what happened on their side! My sister said, that girl in the red pants and hoody on the field looks like Tiff! Both my mom and our uncle Phil said thats not her! Ha ha then I turned and we all saw each other! This next part is awesome! My mother comes barreling down the bleachers like the place is on fire! Everybody thought something was wrong ha ha! Then she runs up and gives me a huge hug! She makes it about half way before she starts bawling her eyes out! Then my sister comes and the three of us are in this huge hug bawling! Besides the game when Ricks lost to Dixie in overtime, It is the one and only time I have ever cried at a football game! It was cool because I got to see some of the other people in the bleachers faces go from panic wondering what is wrong, to aww how sweet when they saw us embrace! I think that this trip was one of the coolest homecomings I have had to date! The only thing that could have made it better was having my big lil bro Chase home! My lil bro Tyman didn't get to see me til after his football game that night! But when he did see me, I was greeted with a big huge hug!

I have a pretty amazing family! We are definitely one of a kind! We show our love through teasing and calling names like "Mary" "Nancy" "Booger Face" etc! We show love thru pushing and punch fights! People who don't know us think we should all be committed, but I love that we are so different! The best part of it all, is we love each other and are so close it is insane! Before I went home this week, I hadn't seen my fam since I had moved out here, which was about 2 months ago! People looked at me like I was dumb for missing them so much after only 2 months! What people don't get about the Ed and Jeanne Larson family, is we may fight, call names, and tease. But when it comes down to it, we are thick as thieves and we love and care about each other so freakin much! I gotta tell ya that the people who get to marry into this family are gonna be some pretty lucky people! You gotta have a sense of humor and thick skin, but if you can hang, you will be apart of an amazing family!! Family is the most important thing to me period!! Nothing else compares!

Sweat and Tears!!

What is up ya'll! It has been another min or two! Ha ha! Things have been insane around here! Been working really hard trying to keep my head above water! Not even gonna front cause things have been crazy hard, but I wouldn't have it any other way!! With ever drop of sweat and with ever tear, baby girl is turning into this amazing person! Even better then before, which may be hard to imagine but it is possible ha ha ha! It's amazing to be thrown into the fire and see what you do! It will be awesome to see how I turn out and the person I become once I get out!!

Girl Moment! Ha ha! So I was listening to Tyrese, Usher, Whitney, Mariah, Brandy... all my R&B loves!! Havin a good day just chillin yesterday! It was the first time that I was just enjoyin listenin to some good love songs without being mad jealous of everyone I knew who had someone in they life! Don't get me wrong, of course I want that... and baby girl may or may not be missing someone ha ha! But, it was nice to listen and be able to think, "hey I can't wait to have someone, but until then Imma just live life!" If any of that makes sense ha ha! Anyways... lol!

Good News! I have been busting my butt boxing, which means.. yup, you guessed it! Baby girl is getting her rockin bod back, only its coming back better then ever!! Ha ha! Love it! On top of working hard in the gym, I have been busting my butt in the studio! I have some great news to share on that, but its gonna have to wait a lil bit more! Gotta get a few more things done before I can spill! Ha ha! I know, I know but patience is a virtue or at least I hear, cause it is not one of mine lol! But, you will be ok!! Ha ha!

I am in that place where I am trying so hard to just hold on and not completely stress out, cause things are so tight money wise and I am not certain on a few things, but I am loving every single minute of it! Why!? Cause, when I finally make it HUGE!!! I am gonna be able to look back on the struggles I went through to get where I want to be and say, "Good Frickin Job Tif!! Way to not let life get you down!! Way to push past the drama, BS, and struggle!! You are FrKn AmZn!!" Ha ha or something to that effect!

Lots of love ya'll! XoXo!!

And so it begins!!

Whats up! Whats up! Its been a minute! Things have been crazy around here! Where to begin! Well in case I haven't mentioned this... I started working with my new trainer this past Friday and he is AWESOME!!! He scares the silly right out your girl, but when we are not training he has a sense of humor!! I told my brother that I now have an idea of how my Daddy's players feel when he is mad at them ha ha! But it is great! I have a very strong personality and I need someone who doesn't care that I am a girl and is not worried about yelling at me and getting in my face!! Get my bootyliciousness into shape please ha ha! I am learning so much and I can't wait to see where I am gonna be at in a month!! So stoked! Can't wait to get a fight and get in that ring! Ill just say this! Baby girl is gonna let her talent show you whats up... then all you nonbelievers can go find someone else to hate on ha ha!!

Being out in Cali has been amazing! I feel like I am finally home and love all the people I am meeting! I can't believe it has been a month and a half since I have been out here! Love it, but your girl is missing her family like crazy!! But, I know that me being out here will put me in a position to help create a better life for them and that is what is the most important to me right now! God and Family baby! Don't get it twisted, I love my friends, but I am out here to get it done for my family!! There is nothing more important to me in this world then them and I would gladly live out on the street and be homeless and hungry if it means that one day down the road things are gonna get better for them!!

I wanna address some things! My being LDS (Mormon) has def come up a lot being out here in California! I love telling people that I am LDS and believe in the church! But, I also let them know that I am not your typical mormon girl! I do not do this to "fit in" or make people like me! I don't do this because I am ashamed of the church, because that couldn't be further from the truth! I love this Gospel and would die for it any day of the week! I do it, because I want people to know that I am not perfect, but am trying to do the best I can! I can have the mouth of a sailor sometimes and sometimes I don't dress as modest as I should! I don't look like a skank, but I could do better! But that is the point! I hate it when people of any religion or group preach one thing and live another! None of us are perfect by any means! Just because I am LDS does not mean I am perfect! I slip up, I make mistakes, but I am up front about it! How stupid is it to act like you are perfect when none of us our! Yes, we are all doing our best, but honestly, you know that ALL of us could be trying a lil harder! There is always room for improvement!! Never settle! Always demand the best out of yourself, because not only will it change your life for the absolute best, it will make others stand up and notice! Be the best version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else or what others want you to be!!

Well, lots to do! Your girl is on the hustle 24/6 (Sundays are for the Lord! ;D) Gonna do work and make that paper baby! Gonna get that better life for my family! Watch it now, can't stop me! Headin straight to the top and there is no lookin back now!! Hoo Ra!!

Don't Test Me!

Good Evening! It has come to my attention that some may perceive me as a "back burner girl." So, I am here to set the record straight! This entry is not for the easily offended, so if that is you please stop reading now!

I am one of the nicest, most loyal and trusting woman you will ever meet in your life! While I may be training to be a fighter, I would rather love someone then fight them outside the ring! But don't get it twisted, especially you guys! Let me spit ya a scenario here! We meet, we hit it off, there is this insane chemistry and we get along like we have know each other forever! But, you are seeing someone else! You want to still be friends, let me stop you right there! First, this is not directed to any one person in particular, this is directed to the handful of you who are dumb enough to think you can get away with pulling stuff like this! I have no problem being anyone's friend! The more, the better! But, you have another thing coming if you think I will be your back burner girl! The girl who you have to fall back on if things don't work out with your girl! Or the girl you can mess around with on the side! You must have lost your damn mind! Let me fill you in on something you are so clueless about!

I am high class, not white trash! I am the kind of girl that makes you look amazing just by being on your arm! I am the girl, that once you have earned it, will give you an amazing life! I am the girl who will cook for you, clean, and be a great wife to you! I am the girl who wants to have babies with you and raise an amazing family with you! I am the girl who will play around and have lots of fun with you! I am the girl who has your back no matter what and is there for you! I am the girl you can tell your secrets too, cause I will never judge you, cause I'll love you! I am the girl that will support you and remind you of what an amazing person you are when you begin to doubt yourself! I am the girl who will fight fair with you, cause I would never want to shoot a low blow at you and hurt you! I am the girl who will always know how to make you laugh and make you feel better when you are stressin or havin a bad day! Sounds pretty amazing, right!? So don't you think that something that amazing is sure as hell not gonna come for FREE!!

We live in a society now where people want stuff to come easily! People don't wanna put in the work! We also live in a society where the majority of so called men are chicken shit! That's right, you best believe I am calling you out! I can't even count how many times I have been told that guys think girls should ask them out! What in the hell!? Please someone take me back to the time where a man was actually a man! A time where, sure he may have been scared of rejection, but regardless manned up and asked a girl out! Guys! What has happened to you, you are acting like a bunch of chicks! Which FYI is not attractive in the least! What makes you think that a girl wants to be with a "man" who is too afraid to go after what he wants! That is so unattractive and if you fall on your face, get up, shake it off and go out there and find another girl! Don't just cop out cause it got hard or someone told you no! You know whats funny is that I have had this conversation with collegiate athletes more then anyone else! That is just so damn stupid! Don't get me wrong, there are those amazing guys who know how to step up to the plate and ask a girl out! Not a hangout, but a "Im gonna pick you up, open your door, take you out to dinner and get to know each other" date!! There are still those guys, but ya'll are so rare, its like you are a myth!

Back to my main topic tho! I am a laid back chicka and I get along with just about everybody! But don't test me, because this lil mama will put you in your place so fast! You can't have your cake and eat it too! Now, don't get it twisted, this is not a plea or a desperate cry! This is a certified warning, that if you mess wit your girl or try to pull this, I have no problem kickin your ass! Why!? Because, I am enough! If I am not enough for you and you still need a girl on the side or to be with the girl you are with now, then Imma bounce! Cause if you are not smart enough to see what you have in front of you and want to see where it goes, regardless of career, distance, life, etc. then this sexy and amazing lil chicka is not gonna hang around! Cause she deserves the best and apparently that just ain't you!

Life is already way too short! Don't you think it would just suck to be stuck with someone who wasn't the absolute best for you! Why would you settle for anything less then being with someone who can be your lover, best friend, etc! Someone who can go through the hard times with you but knows how to make you laugh and makes you want to be a better person! You can bet you butt that this lady will die single and alone before she ever settles for someone who is not worthy of her! Its that simple! Some people think I am crazy or that I am setting the bar too high, but I am just respecting myself! Besides, like I have said before! When you raise the bar and make a man work for all the amazingness you are ladies, the lil boys will scatter and the real men will come outta nowhere to work for what you got! Plus, when you stop paying attention to him, he will notice when other guys are paying closer attention to you! Guys want what they can't have! So ladies, make em want what they can't have! Go out and play the field, have fun and show his sorry ass that, ok you don't want me, well thats your loss, cause I am gonna show you what an amazing, sexy, bad ass you are missing out on!

Ladies, we have gone about this all the wrong way! When we get our hearts broken, we quickly run for that pint of Ben and Jerry's and veg on the couch watching chick flicks that only makes things worse! So not attractive! Instead, we should stick it to em! Don't get mad or sad! Get even! Get revenge! By this I mean! Get your sexy on and go out on the town! Live your life so that when he looks at you and all that you are doing he thinks, Damn, I really messed up on letting her get away! Look at it this way, you going home and stuffing your face with stuff that isn't healthy for you says, man she can't live without me, oh well onto the next girl! But, when you turn up your sexy and live your life to the fullest, it says, I don't need you to make me happy! Then that beauty and confidence will attract others and it will make him feel like the dumb ass he truly is for letting you go! We win! Ha ha!!

I know its hard to think clearly or see things for how they really are when you have this amazing and gorgeous guy in front of you, but don't sell yourself short! Make him work for it! Don't be a Nazi, but make him work for it! You are high class and deserve the best! The lil boys who mind, don't matter! And the actual men, won't mind working for it! Stick to your guns and hold out for that amazing Champion!! One of my all time favorite quotes ladies, Dance with God, cause He will let the perfect man cut in!!! Love It!

Girl starts training at her gym tomorrow and I am wicked stoked! Ha ha and that is an understatement for sure!! Living life and loving myself! Wanna thank my girl Jamie for getting me back on track! I came out to Cali for my singing and boxing! Not to find love! Your girl is still gonna have fun, but love will have to come looking for me, cause I am not gonna be lookin for it!! Ha ha

Lots of love!

Here's to craziness, heartbreak and falling in love!

Life is an interesting and unique situation we are all in! One minute you are living your life and things are going well! Then, out of no where something happens or someone comes into your life that changes everything!!! Yeah, it can be bad and terrible things! I am talking about when this amazing experience happens or you meet this amazing person and it flips your whole world upside down! In a completely amazing way mind you! You realize that while you seemed happy before, you were simply living in ignorant bliss! Ha ha! Like, lets go to the classic example! Dating!

You are going about your everyday life! You wake up, go to work, hang with friends and family, work out (or don't lol), etc. You feel content in the way you live your life! You know that love will find you someday, but you are fine just trucking along and then BAMMMM!!! It comes out of no where and hits you like a truck!! All of the sudden you have this amazing person in your life! The first time you look at them, you know something is different! You can't put your finger on it, but you know that you are about to enter uncharted waters. Your eyes meet and you both smile and thats it, its over! You are hooked! You guys are so comfortable around each other and can talk for days! You are passionate about life, and while talking to this person, telling them things about you and them telling you things about them, you realize that while you have just recently met each other... you feel like you have known each other for a long time! You will have your differences, but you will have so many things in common. Be it from your smart ass sarcasm to believing in some of the same things ranging from religion to music! Don't forget the physical attraction! That my friend will be off the chart! Anything from a holding hands to an amazingly seductive kiss, you will leave wanting to come back for more!

Then, when you are not around the other person for long periods of time, you will begin to go crazy! Because how could this happen! This amazing person comes into your life and now you have to try and live life without that amazing connection on a daily basis! Sure you may still talk, text or even email, but it is not the same as spending time with them! Before you go completely crazy, because I have seen it time and again! Just slow down, breath and live your life! That is it! Sure, this may be the best thing that has happened to you! But do you want to screw it all up, because you want things to happen now, you want to be together now! Come hell or high water, you want something to work out right this second! Hit the breaks crazy! Cause that is the fastest way to lose them!

I am a firm believer in there being a time and place and reason for everything that happens to us! I have said it a million times, but if things are meant to be, if it is your destiny to be with this person, it will happen! Nothing will be able to stop it, except you, if you start going psycho! The greatest things in life take time! Nothing amazing and worth having in life ever comes easy! Take the time you have with that person, be it in person, over the phone, text, email! Take that time and just enjoy it! Enjoy having someone to just talk to or laugh with on a daily basis! Someone who knows how to cheer you up when you are down! Just enjoy them! Don't try to put a label on what the two of you have, don't force things, and don't become a major drama queen just because things aren't going according to your plan! Ha ha seriously!

Not even two years ago, I would have called you crazy if you told me I would be where I am at today, going through the things I am going through, and having the incredible people I have in my life! I was on a different route, but life had different plans for me. Sometimes we don't always get what we want or get to go where we want! But, that is because down the road, there is something or someone better for us!! As hard as that is to accept that, its the truth!

Live life to the fullest and embrace the topsy turvy way of life! When it comes to relationships or "friendships" embrace it! Enjoy it and take it all in! I am now so grateful for all the mess a certain someone or two put me through over the past few years! As much as it hurt then, I am a better person for it and I know that I will find someone who is so much better for me! Life has a sense of humor, but life is also about learning to laugh at ourselves, learn from it and then overcome it! Its that simple!

Believe it or not lol, but I use to be quite the hard ass when it came to men and dating! I am Tiffany Larson, I don't need a man! I am fine on my own, in fact I may just be a single mom and adopt or something! Yes! That sad lil girl was me! Lots of attitude and I was def lil miss had something to prove! Luckily I have grown out of that and I have had one amazing roller coaster ride! Definitely some low points for sure, but becoming softer towards men and more open, I have met some of the coolest people I have ever met in my life and I look forward to seeing where life takes us!

Just remember this, Life is not about the destination, it is about the journey! So again, sit down, shut up, and listen! Don't be a control freak no matter how hard it is to wait! It will all come together on its own time. Besides if things really came easy, we wouldn't appreciate them as much! Here's to the future! The the craziness and heartbreak and to falling in love! May we all do it how its suppose to be and may none of try and force it! Lots of love!

P.S. I wrote this when I was tired, so if some of it is "slurreds" or outta place, that is why! XoXo

Finally Baby!!!

Girl starts training again tomorrow! I am so excited and I can't wait! I am a lil stressed cause things are gonna be super tight for a while, but it will be worth it! This may sound silly, but everything that I do, I am constantly thinking about how it is gonna affect my future! I think about my future husband and kids! I want my kids to be proud of their mommy and my husband to be proud of his wife! I know right, not what your average 22 year is usually thinking about! Then again, I am not your average 22 year old! I have been through a lot from helping raise my siblings as a kid because my mom was really sick when we were young to being on deaths doorstep my freshman yr in high school! From losing one of the few people who ever truly believed in you and having to watch him slowly slip away as you and your family do everything they can to help take care of him to having this amazing connection with this amazing person, only to watch them walk right out of your life! I am not comparing my life to anyone else's by any means! That is actually a pet peeve of mine! I am just saying that with everything I have been through and knowing that its gonna keep coming, it makes me want to become the best person I can possibly be! I have always been a natural fighter of life and a huge competitor! I don't like it when things are handed to me and I don't like receiving things that I haven't earned! I want to become the best I can be in every aspect of my life so that I know I am deserving of an amazing husband and amazing kids! I want them to be proud and to see that no matter how hard things got, that I never gave up or backed down! Don't get me wrong, I will make mistakes and will grow and learn from them and Ill want them to understand that as well. But this lil mama has never been the kind of person to want to be anything better then the best...and I definitely want to be the best for my future family!

Can you even imagine, being with someone who strives to be the best! Not in a psycho "being the best is the only thing that matters" kind of way. But, in a healthy competitive way! Just imagine what it would bring to your life and your relationship! To have someone who is willing to fight for what they want, to be willing to go through the hard times and enjoy the good times with you! (Ha ha I just realized that this sounds like some kind of personal ad! I promise its not, I am just speaking in general!)

I am not one of those girls that is constantly looking to settle down! I am 22 going on 23 and have things I want to do! Dreams I want to chase and turn into reality! Don't get it twisted though! I cannot wait to get married and have a big family! But, I also know that it is gonna happen when it is suppose too! So, there is no sense wasting my time trying to force something that is not gonna happen until its ready! In the mean time baby girl is career driven and working on becoming the absolute best version of myself!

On a side note, I was thinking about some of the people who have come in and out of my life! Sometimes you have to say good bye! As hard as it may be to do! By doing that, it gives that special someone time to see what life would be like without you! If they are smart they will come back and try to be apart of your world again! Distance makes the heart grow fonder and missing someone is a healthy thing in any relationship! But, again, remember that things will happen in their own time! Until then, enjoy your life and the amazing people in it and if you do have someone, whether it is in the very beginning stages of becoming "friends" or you are in a committed relationship... enjoy the time you have with that person! If things are meant to be, they will happen in a smooth and natural way!

Its late and baby girl has an amazing and spectacular day planned tomorrow! Good night, good luck and live your life to the fullest and remember! Someday you will find the one who will make working for it seem so worth it!! XoXo!!
