First Wrestling tournament

Today was Josh's first real wrestling tournament! We had a beginners on Thursday, but it wasn't really a win or loose kind of thing. So today was the REAL DEAL! It started off very well, Josh won his very first match! We were all very excited for him and he was very excited too. However, from here it went down hill. His second match was with a child who is obviously way more experienced then Josh (some of these kids have been doing this for years by this age). So he lost his second match. Then he lost his third match and he got an elbow right in his kidney. It;s double elimination so we assumed we were done..NOPE!!! The brackets had gotten messed up and Josh had wrestled someone who was competing for the first place spot, in other words this kid was probably the best out there. So they said he could wrestle again in the right bracket. However this kid hadn't just wrestled minutes before with a kid who is one of the best, if fact he hadn't wrestled for probably at least 30 min or so. So long story short Josh lost again, and this time he got a huge charlie horse in his thigh! I really felt bad for him, my heart was broken. This sport is really hard to watch, especially when it's your child who is getting the snot beat of them. I;m not sure if I will go next Saturday or not! I get sick just thinking about it, but then again if he were to do better and get a medal I would feel terrible for missing that. We put Josh in wrestling to get him to be more competitive and driven and I do think that this will achieve that goal. All in all I think that he really likes it and that this was a wake up call for him to pay more attention in practice. I on the other hand can't decide if I like it or hate it. I'll update again in a couple of weeks after he has done this a few more times. In the mean time keep this softy of a mommy in your prayers!

Update

I haven't blogged since July of last year so I thought today would be a good day to do an update! Luckily my blog website is on my facebook profile, otherwise I would have never found this site because I had no idea what the address was! Also it's a good thing that I use the same password for everything or I wouldn't have been able to get in. Yep, that's right just figure out what my password is and you can get into just about anything on my computer! Anyhow, I will try to do a brief update on my life since July of 09.

We moved in with my parents in August just in time for Josh to start Rookie school and for the boys to start school. My parents have truly been blessings to have let us stay here while we start over! Rookie school was tough for all of us but it finally came to a end Jan. 6, 2010. Josh went on shift on the 11th and has loved every second of being a firefighter, good thing to since it took ten years for him to get on.

We finally sold our house at the very end of December! We didn't make one dime on that dumb house. When I think about people living in my house it still kind of creeps me out! But it's no longer my house so I will just have to get over that their are people living in MY home!

Christmas came and went and it was a good Christmas even though we had to put aside a lot of our usual traditions, but that's ok because it just wasn't a usual Christmas!

Now we are in a new year and I can already see that it's going to be busy year full of changes but I think that it is going to be a GREAT year!!! Josh and I hope to move into out own place sometime this year, and I will also be starting school very soon! God has been so good to us!
