Did you miss me?
Did anyone even notice I was "missing" the last 2 weeks? (crickets)
I didn't really MEAN to skip POTW 2 weeks in a row. I never really MEAN to skip it at all. But life happens and my memory is sometimes bad and sometimes I'm just not in the mood to stop having fun (or working) to do an email. And what probably sounds like a ridiculously lame excuse, my employer just increased their "security" and I can't get personal email on my work computer any more. Sounds like a minor thing... is not a minor thing... I fully acknowledge that this is a first world problem, but it's cause some upheaval in my routines!
So what have we been up to? Mostly wrestling. And visiting with family. We got to enjoy Spencer being home for Thanksgiving week - although we didn't actually SEE much of him as he was off having fun with his friends the majority of his break. It's nice to see that he's doing well. He also got to wrestle here in Georgia at Life University and won his first couple of collegiate matches. Pretty fun! Picture of him in his old West singlet because he was wrestling as an "unattached" wrestler while the Citadel starters were competing at a tournament at the Naval Academy. I DO still long to get a picture of him in a Citadel singlet... someday!
On Tuesday of Thanksgiving week West held our annual Thanksgiving Duals. It's my favorite tourney of the year. I think it's because of the time of year maybe... it's the first big tourney we do with local teams every year. It's home and I really enjoy hanging out with all the other West families for the day. I've no idea what I'm going to do next year when I'm not in charge any more... Maybe they will let me run concessions just for fun! Quinn had a pretty good tournament and the team is looking really strong again. It should be a great season again for West Wrestling.
Zane and Beck got to compete recently too! Zane went undefeated and Beck went 3-2. Both boys look really good and are having a blast. They are working 4 days a week at getting better! We have a couple of weeks before they get to compete again, but I'm already looking forward to it!
In between all the wrestling we got to have a really nice dinner out with my parents, had a football party with all the coaches and families from Bob's team, celebrated the end of Zane's Midway football career at his football party (middle school football here we come!), and of course we had Thanksgiving! It's been a fun, busy couple of weeks around here!
The rest of the month looks just as wild! This weekend Bob and Quinn are off to North Carolina for a big dual tournament with some of the best teams in that area. It'll be a challenge for our guys for sure! And I'll be home with Zane and Beck getting ready to take the high school team up to Gatlinburg the following weekend for a super fun stay in a super cool cabin. Bob and I are chaperoning - and responsible for feeding the whole crew. I'm prepping the coolers and crock pots!
I hope you had a great second half of November and are gearing up for the rest of the Holiday season! We're mostly focused on wrestling mats, but we DID manage to get our trees and outside decorations up! Christmas presents are mostly ordered/obtained too! I love this time of year!
