| It's been so long since I've signed in here that I totally forgot my password. So much has been happening. I live in Kansas now, as I accepted a job at Mid America Nazarene. I am in my first week of 2-a-days, and I'll be honest, it's been a rough start and I had a very frustrating day today. So much so that I think I'm going to go to bed soon, at least for a while. Wow, I'm getting old. I don't know how long I'll stay here, maybe another 2 years, maybe not at all. The way it sounds now there are other much larger life decisions that may influence that heavily. Whew.... it's a strange feeling, realizing you're growing up, and worse yet, that you're actually okay with it. Something new. Not that I was ever really excessively childish, but I liked things the way they were all right. Well, I'm tired so TTFN. | | |
| Spring Break 2007We hosted the 2007 NCAA Division 3 National Tournament for wrestling. It went fairly well, only 1 major injury as far as I know, aside from a couple of guys who got stitches. Lots of long hours, but it was good. Jay got 7th, and Dave was done on Friday (he had the 4 time champ and undefeated guy his first round.)
After nationals I was supposed to make a few appearances at the after parties, but we were waiting to hang out with Romeo and that call never came, so we just stayed in and watched movies. Brian & I went to CR on Sunday to have dinner with my aunt & uncle, then stayed at their place that night before going to the state duals the next morning to watch his brother wrestle.
It was strange- I knew Dana would be there b/c the team he coaches made it, and I assumed I'd see him from a distance, but.... we were standing in line to get tickets and he walks right by with his team, does a double take, and stares at me as he walks by. I did a half wave, but got no response, just the stare and walk. It's strange, I still get the shakes after I see him unexpectedly like that. I thought I'd get over that.
Then we dropped off my car in CF and drove to Holstein to spend a few days at Brian's parent's. I spent a bunch of time catching up on my sleep. Then we drove to OC Thursday morning and left for the Black Hills with my parents. We went snowmobiling on Friday, and surprisingly, Brian kicked my butt even though it was his first time on a snowmobile. We went skiing on Saturday, and it was his first time skiing. He didn't have quite the same luck skiing, but it was fun. I skied with my parents in the morning and got all the blacks and blues done while he was at his lesson, then did the same 1-2 green runs all afternoon with him. I think he'll catch on eventually. And then we drove all day Sunday to get back last night, and I got up at 4 a.m. this morning to work.
Time to cook some dinner and do the laundry I didn't have time to do at my parent's.

| Short version:
Brian got me a dozen roses for valentine's day. They got sent to work, and I got all kinds of comments on them. Then he came up to JV IIAC's and stayed for the varsity.
Favorite quote:
Foxy: "Where's your boyfriend?"
Me: "Over there with the Wartburg people."
Foxy: "Why? Three horns don't play with long necks?"
He had surgery in Iowa City on Tuesday. I went to D-port Monday night (which actually made my trip longer, but I didn't have to get up quite so early and anything to see Abby.) He checked in at 6 am, and I rolled in around 6:30. The drive was longer than I anticipated. His mom said she was glad I came. We talked for several hours and ate breakfast while he was in surgery, and just hung out all day. He's supposed to go back to get his full cast this week.
Nationals are this weekend. This week is going to be crazy busy. Jeff & Kris had their baby early, so Jeff is going to be working the tournament after all. It's going to be a big athletic training reunion of the college days, Ambrose, UNI, and Wartburg. I am a little nervous looking at a week of 16 hour days, maybe more, but will feel good when it's over, except for the fact that it means wrestling is over. After Nationals, I have a week of spring break to recuperate. Half the week at Brian's, half the week with my family skiing and snowmobiling in the black hills... hopefully he gets cleared from the doc and finds someone else to do chores while his parents are away.
I'm tired.

| I have the flu (for the 3rd time this season) so this is going to be short.
On Thursday during practice, Brian tore up his thumb, which is going to require surgery in Iowa City next week. I went down this weekend to provide some TLC, and we ended up going on 2 double dates with Romeo & Morgan, which was lots of fun. I got to know Morgan a little, since it was my first time meeting her, and I know Brian and Romeo pretty well. I didn't expect him to be up for much, but it was lots of fun. I get the feeling he's going to try to surprise me on Valentine's day, which bums me out b/c I am working ALL DAY and probably most of the night, and totally all day/ evening the next day, but we'll see.

| Let me tell you something about this man.
Last night he made me mad. There was actually a lot more to it than that, but suffice to say that I was not happy. After spending a half hour trying unsuccessfully to get me to speak, he realized that all I really wanted to do was hit him. And I was bound and determined to, convinced that I would feel better if I could just take a crack at him. So he let me punch him in the jaw as hard as I could. Seeing that I did not instantly feel better, he told me to punch him again. So I did. He kept lining my fist up and told me to do it again. All in all I punched him 4 times. I could've kept swinging all night, except it was then that I realized that my rage was not meant for him, and no amount of me punching him would make me feel better. So I stopped. But it was a really big deal for him to let me.
