Moment of truth...

  • if you saw your problems in a pile with everyone elses you would probably grab yours back.
  • all that really matters is that you loved
  • growing old beats the alternative--dying young
  • your kids get only one childhood.
  • forgive
  • frame every so called disaster with these words "in 5 years will this matter?"
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • get rid of anything that isnt beautiful, useful or brings you joy.
  • Dont compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • its ok to let your kids see you cry.
  • Make peace with your past so it doesn't screw up the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; but your family will, keep in touch!
  • Just keep taking that next small step.
  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

Gering Nebraska Wrestling Tournament...











The boys had thier first tournament of the year this weekend. It was in Gering Nebraska. Brock wrestled at the 45 pound weight, he wrestled 3 times and won all of them, winning 1st place. He also was super close to getting a quick pin award, he missed it by 2/10ths of a second...darn!

Jaysen wrestled 55 pound weight, and wrestled 4 times, losing 2 of the matches (to the same kid - dangit! ). He got 4th place. They both had a great time and were very proud of themselves!
Next weekend we go to Newcastle.

Sorry if I am not keeping this quite as up to date as I should be. Wrestling season is hectic, time consuming and just plain tiring. I will update at least once a week after the tournaments and let you know the outcome. Sometimes its just too hard to keep up with everything!
