Wrestle!

First of all, I apologize for my lack of posts.  I guess we've been a bit distracted with life lately.  As I sometimes say, "Life gets in the way of life too often."

In addition to our regular jobs, school, etc. I took on a 2nd job directing our school's annual benefit auction.

Rob also took on the sport of wrestling.  He had a GREAT season.  When he started, we were just going to do practices.  When the coaches gave him a singlet to bring home, we decided what they heck, let's try a tournament.  He took 2nd.  So we tried another, we took 1st getting 2 pins, with the longest one taking 10 seconds.  This lead us to regions, where Rob took 1st.  Off to sections where Rob took 4th and qualified for State.  Additionally, so did the Austin Youth Wrestling team for the 1st time in history!  So we spent March 31 and April 1 at the Rochester Civic Center at Rob's 1st state meet.  No placing for Rob, but he wrestled hard and never gave up.  In one of the team competitions, he did get a pin, which was very exciting.

Not sure what the future holds for our little grappler, but we are very proud of his grit, determination, and effort.  I'm sure he has many successes in a variety of forms laying ahead of him if he tackles life in the same way!

We are proud to have been part of Austin Youth Wrestling team, who ended up placing 2nd in their pool.  And even more so, we are proud of you Rob!
