And the winner is....

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if anyone one out there in blogger land is even checking my blog any more. Not that I would blame you, there hasn't been anything to see for many, many months now. The reason for this is because I wasn't so sure I had anything of value or interest to say to anyone, so I decided not to "say" anything. To be honest with you, I haven't really missed it, I've been working two part-time jobs and taking my kids to all kinds of places so I haven't really had time to think about it much. Not to say that there were not times when for a split second I thought, "Gee, it would be nice to work on my blog" but all to quickly the thought would pass and I would g0 on with my some what busy schedule.

Any ways, enough of that. I do actually have exciting news to share. Well, it's exciting for us any ways and weather you think it's exciting or not, I choose to share it with whoever may still be out there checking on this blog once in a blue moon. So here you are....

My son started taking Olympic style wrestling in November of 2007 and has participated in some tournaments in the past five months. At his first tournament he managed to come home with a bronze medal. We were very excited and quite proud of him for doing so will in such a short time (at this point he had only been wrestling for about 1 1/2 months and went up against some boys who had been wrestling for a few years). His second tournament he managed a silver medal, again our excitement rose and we were shocked and amazed! Third tournament, gold, a little shocking, but he had improved so much over the few short months that he had practiced and he really seems to have a natural ability for this. So last weekend were the Provincials, there were kids from all over, The Pas, Flin Flon, different clubs from Winnipeg etc. So, we were not to sure how he would do, but he managed to walk away with a gold medal! We were so very excited, I could hardly believe it, but it's true!! The other exciting thing is that there were 7 other kids from our club that got medals at the Provincials and also throughout the season, so they all did really well. And we all, by all I mean kids and parents had a lot of fun!!

Now I know this seems to be a lot of bragging on my part, but I think sometimes our kids deserve to be told they did well and maybe, just maybe they even deserve for it to be plastered all over blogging land.

So, thank you for listening to me rant about my son and his wrestling team and have a great day!!!
