I am currently at the public library to use their very fast and very free internet.
We have had some busy days and some lazy days lately. The kids have soccer practice 3 nights a week and games on Saturdays. They are doing great and really enjoying themselves.
Marshall gets more time off with this job than he has ever had before and it’s great. He works four 10s so he has one mid week day off every week. Then he has one furlough day a month…that one sucks but it beats not having a job. And then he also has to use some of his comp time, so he has been averaging a 3 day work week. What a change from the last few years! So his to do list is getting much smaller and things are getting done around here!
We had conferences last week and got great reports from the kids teachers! They are both at the top of their classes, respectful and responsible. We could not be more proud!
Our good friends Jessica and Kayla came over last week. Both girls were on our all girls wrestling team a few years ago. Kayla just had a beautiful little girl. I got my baby fix holding the tiny 3 week old. Jessica and her family moved to North Carolina 2 years ago and this was the first time we have seen her since she moved. She stayed the night and we got some good visiting in. It was so great to see them both!
Caymus with Addy, he was so sweet with her and would not let her go!
Showing Jess how much they have grown since she saw them last! It has been 2 years and kids do grow a lot!

Ok for the biggest news of all, Marshall and I are going to be running the Cascade Wrestling Club this year (and most likely from now on). We met with the HS and MS coaches and made the big decision to run the program. Both our kids are going to be participating and we love being a part of the local community. The decision was easy to make and it felt like the right one. We crammed the last 2 weeks to get flyers made and distributed, design and build a team website, design a logo, establish ourselves USA Wrestling as a club, recruit assistant coaches and the list goes on and on……We have our registrations this week and then practices start next week. We will practice Tues and Thurs. Then go to tournaments on Saturdays! Take a look www.cascadewrestling.com
