Today was Jacob's first wrestling tournament. Oh my, the intensity of this first meet was incredible. I really didn't think that I was going to get knots in my stomach like I did. As Jacob was wrestling his opponents, I was wrenching my own body around like I was out there on the floor. You know, as a parent, you feel as if you have to help your child no matter what circumstance they are in. It is so different from football, although I really tried helping him then, too. In football, he has a whole team with him. In wrestling, it is just him, his opponent, and the mat. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. He won both his matches and ended up coming in first in his bracket!!!!!! We were so proud, not only because he won, but because he had fun and gave 100%. We left our house about 6:45 this morning and didn't get home until about 7:00 tonight. So, we are VERY tired. He, for once, decided to go to bed on his own. (Miracle)
The posts today is of course of the meet because, well, that is the only place we were today.

Mamie, I would be out on the mat if someone did something to my little angel. I'm glad you were able to stay in the stands.
You know, in the third picture, Jake looks a little like Tom Cruise. Love it!

Hey Jamie. This is so fun! Derek is involved in Odyssey of the Mind and I was a wreck the WHOLE day. I was soooo nervous and Jess yelled at me becauseI didn't call her to meet me there because I dropped my cell phone in the car. It was so intense!
