Wrestling pics
Our son Jordan, wrestles for and attends college at the Colorado School of Mines. And right after Christmas, he had to return to Golden to get ready to head off to Florida with his team to wrestle at a tournament there. It was definitely a sacrifice for this 20 yr old kid, even though he is completely dedicated and driven. It's hard to continue just working out like crazy and not get to eat hardly at all. (And he wasn't thrilled to leave home, even though most of us would be happy to be in Florida during this "intense cold after the blizzard" we are having here in Colorado!!) He ended up placing 3rd at the Citrus Open in Fort Lauderdale!! If you know anything about wrestling, you know it's tough to have to be working out and cutting weight, especially during Christmas break! Not to mention being away from your family... So, good job Jord!! You deserve everything that you have worked so hard for!!
Here's the article about it:

We love wrestling!! And we know that wrestling is not for everyone! It's one of those things that you either really love or hate!! But if you happen to "know" and love wrestling, I hope you have enjoyed these pics! (You will probably be seeing more of them....) :))

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
