Aussie Adventures pt 2

The beginning of 2011 could not have played out more perfectly. Heading to Australia for the first time in my life was a goal I have had since I was a child. I put together a video of the 2 1/2 weeks in Melbourne to showcase how amazing this trip was. Made this video short and sweet and will follow with a wrap up blog in my next post. After seeing these posts I hope you’ll be convinced to start planning for next year’s Aussie Millions. Enjoy!

Aussie Adventures pt 1

What was your favorite toy as a kid? If I told you mine, you’d understand my true passion in life and where it all began. Ever since I was a little, I’d stare in admiration at my favorite toy, a globe, and wish to travel. I would close my eyes and spin the world as fast as I could, quickly placing my finger down stoping on a new destination. Opening my eyes, I would pretend I was there and imagine what it would be like to visit such a place. My mother would help me look up the places in our library of Encyclopedia Britannica’s filled with photos of places, people and animals I’d never seen before. My eyes, glued to the pages, were hungry to go to see for myself. Instead of planning my wedding like most little girls do, I dreamed of traveling the world. Clearly this was the result of having a father who was a pilot. Captain Jones, otherwise known as Daddy, would fly all over the world, sending postcards from foreign and exotic locations, always making sure to tell me something about each new place and never forgetting to sign: Love, Dad. Each time he came home, I would jump up and down yelling “Daddy, Daddy!” He’d pick me up, put his pilot cap on my head and tell me about all the places he had just been to. Voila, a little girl with a passion for world travel was born. The globe was naturally a gift from him. It was one of those ones that would light up at night and the mountains were raised so you could feel them as you rubbed your finger over the surface. When he’d call he’d tell me where he was; and, I would find it on my globe, becoming instantly fascinated and asking what seemed like a million questions.

I feel so overwhelmed realizing my life is exactly what I’d been wishing for all those years. I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Australia where I was the host of the Aussie Millions. Over the next few blogs I’ll be writing about the fun times I had while I was there. As a preview here’s one of my new friends I made while I was on my trip.

My new friend, Red.

It’s that time of year to vote in BLUFF magazine’s reader’s choice awards. This year they added a new category: Favorite Poker Hostess. I’m very lucky to be nominated in this category of only 5 women, as there are many great female hosts out there to choose from. I really hope you can take a 5 minute survey and vote for me. Thank you for all your support over the years that has brought me to this point. With out you guys I don’t think I would have made it this far. You all are the best! It’s been a long ride since 2007 with my start on camera for the WSOP live coverage to today. Let’s hope for 2011 to bring more shows and opportunities to show my passion for poker!

It’s been an amazing year and there is so many things to be grateful for! The next 2 weeks will be a recap of this 2009, as well as video blogs and tips from me about anything ranging from Poker to Fashion to Diet and Exercise. I’m now dedicating a good amount of time to keep y’all updated. No more promises… I’ll show you with my actions. There will be lots of new changes coming with this 2010 and I can’t wait to share my experiences with the people that support me and keep me going strong. I know I say this a lot, but I wouldn’t be here without each and everyone of you.

With that said it’s past my bedtime. I have a busy weekend shooting for the hot new show Poker2Nite on Fox Sports. Have y’all seen it yet? Tomorrow we take a look at poker players making a difference and raising money to fight Cerebral Palsy. If you’re in Las Vegas please stop by the Hard Rock Casino’s Poker room and play in the charity tournament. For more information check out www.AllinforCP.comHope to see you all there! xo
