Goodness!!!
Some weeks I really struggle to find something interesting to share. This week there's TOO much!!! Where to start...
Last weekend Spencer and Quinn started a tournament on Friday night. In this same tourney last year Spencer didn't make it out of Friday evening - it's a double elimination. So we weren't sure what to expect this year... what happened was NOT one of the options we had planned out. LOL Life is like that, right!! Wrestling season is DEFINITELY like that! Spencer ended up hyper extending his knee doing a takedown in his first match and was out for the weekend. Quinn went 1-1 and pinned his second opponent to make it into Saturday competition. I was so happy for Quinn! He didn't last long on Saturday, BUT he got there and that's pretty darn awesome! Check out this cool picture of the 2018/19 Varsity squad! I'm so proud of my boys!
Zane and Beckett were also wrestling on Saturday in their very first wrestling tournament. The pretty much got stomped, but they had a blast. The were already asking when the next tournament is almost before they were even home. They go again on the 16th. Beckett got to wrestle 5 times and went 1-4 - he also lost a tooth during his second match. If it's possible, the missing front tooth makes him even more irresistibly adorable. Zane was in a weight class with only 3 kids in it, so he didn't get as many opportunities and went 0-2. He was pretty bummed about the losses, but has spent a TON of time this week thinking about (and then talking about) exactly what his opponent did to beat him. He learned a ton!
Then on Sunday we got a NEW PUPPY!!!! I'm so so so excited! His name is Brutus and he's a golden retriever. He's really light colored and ridiculously cute. He was born on September 15th and will be around 14 weeks old when we bring him home. The timing was probably not ideal because of all the travel we have coming up (see below), but the breeder we found has a cool program where they will keep the puppy and complete training with it. This is kind of like a win/win! We got the puppy we wanted and when we bring him home hopefully he will already have MAD SKILLS! LOL We are picking him up the day after Christmas.
Tomorrow I am heading to Scotland for a week. Both the time of the year and the meeting agenda for next week have me kind of dreading the trip. Bright side... the weather over there this weekend is going to be nicer than here - weird! AND Edinburgh is pretty gorgeous at Christmastime. So I'm going to find my silver lining... as soon as I pack. Until then I just feel unprepared!!!
While I'm gearing up for a UK trip, Bob is packing for a whirlwind trip to Orlando for a wrestling tournament. He's driving 5 of the wrestlers and they leave at 5 AM Friday to return sometime in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Thank goodness for Berber and Pappy - otherwise Zane would be in charge for 48 hours. LOL
When I get home it will be mid-December and we will still have last minute shopping and wrapping and baking and a mini-vacay to Pigeon Forge (wrestling tourney) to cram in before Christmas. We also have to prep for a PUPPY. I'm just taking one step at a time - and maybe this will be the year of the New Years cookie platters...
Have a great week everyone! If you are so inclined to send some "energy vibes" my way - I could use them!
