princess of the black throne

sometimes we'd take family vacations to a lake when i was younger, but now i think most celebrating is done at home with cooking out and watching all the fireworks. seeing them over the water is really pretty. uhm, i don't know if tom had anything else he wanted to do, but we could probably drop by for a little bit if there's nothing else planned.

aww, you're so sweet! thank you!

it doesn't really seem like it. i know losing comes with the job, but it's still frustrating when it feels like i do nothing but lose. i don't even think i'll be on the show at home. maybe it if it was a regular show, but it's only one match after the baseball game, isn't it? they're probably going to want others there for it instead. uhm, they all sounded nice but the virgin islands national park sounded amazing. the others would be nice during the fall when all the leaves start changing colors, but the virgin islands would be perfect right now as a little tropical getaway.

not going to lie—you make me want a jeep. 😂 but i also love my car too much to think about switching. but thanks, it was fun and i know the dogs had a blast. at least you got to do something, right? i bet they had a great time with you. and i saw you're doing some things with tna now too! hopefully you'll win, and we can see you be thea two belts!

it is, but sometimes there just isn't any time. west coast shows are a little different since i usually try to get in a day early so i don't have to worry about travel problems, but if it's not too long of a flight i'll wait until the day of the show. i'll take sleeping in my own bed for an extra night whenever possible. 😅 uhm, i'm not sure about san jose, but i want to try and see la jolla cove when we're there for dynamite and collision. i've gotten used to florida beaches since moving there, but it's always nice to see the ones in california when we're out there. i hope so. i love wrestling anytime i get to have a match, but nothing beats wrestling in front of a home crowd with your family and friends.

forbidden door's always been an interesting concept, and i do think a lot of the matches are going to be good. i wish we could do more cross-over stuff, but i guess it is kind of tough having to work around visas and everything else.

i always love getting new gear. i really like the last couple ones i've had made, but it's always exciting to try things from new people. especially since i've seen what she does for other people, so i can't wait to see what mine is going to look like when it's done. the updates she's been giving me have been amazing.

yes, please! i think that would be exactly what i need, and i know snax and rocky would love it too. they always have a good time when they can run around with appa. yeah, we do have a show tonight. i don't have a match or anything, but skye does so i might make an appearance. do you have a match? i'll try to check in with the nxt show between everything happening here.

is there enough time for it? i know there's a little bit of a time difference so the show starts earlier than what we usually do, but it's also a double taping so we'll be there longer anyway. not sure if anyone wants to stick around for an extra day on a ppv week, but it could be a fun way to burn out some extra energy after whatever happens tonight.

uhm, i'm not sure. i know we've been to new mexico before, but i haven't actually looked to see what sorts of things there are to do around there. i don't know if i'm doing anything for the ballpark show either. i think it's only a single match so they'll probably want others for it instead.

i don't even know if i'm going to be on the show yet, but i'd love to show you guys around if i do go! it doesn't happen often, so i always love when i can show off my hometown and let others know what there is to do nearby. uhm, i'm not sure if my family will be there or not. my dad will probably go regardless, but my mom and sister would probably only want to go if i'm there.

i love being home, but it really is nice to get out and take a break from all the work-related stuff every so often. traveling, training, and everything else—it's hard to notice when you're in the middle of it all, but it really does get stressful if you don't let yourself have a rest from it sometimes. i'm glad you're enjoying the time off. i think that's the best way to look at it—just enjoy the things we have. there's no rush to let everyone know what your next move is going to be. ohio isn't too bad, but it does help knowing someone who lives there and can let us know about things to do. and it probably would be nice having someone to talk to who knows what it's like being in wwe. i didn't think about that before but you and jon do have a lot in common so it is pretty cool you can have that sort of connection. i wonder if i'll get to do media again? for some reason i thought it was a lot of fun, so i'd love to do it again if they let me. i'll just be happy as long as i get to do something at home. it never gets old. uhm, what sort of place would you want to go to? somewhere beachy, or like a national park, or what? there's so many different kinds of places it's hard to narrow it all down.
