A word about

State Wrestling 2009.

I know my nephew wanted to be in the Medal round at State and fell a little short, but with all of life's ups there are downs. They make us strong, smarter and more in control of our destiny. It challenges us to be more diligent and maybe a little bit more grateful for those little accomplishments.

I just want my Nephew to know how very very proud I am of him. HE doesn't have to be a state qualifier, or a medalist or a champion...he just has to be my Nephew Sheldon. The kid who can always make me smile. I am grateful for the fun I have had watching you this year. Your love of the sport has given me the opportunity to spend time with my family, old friends and have experiences that I wouldn't have had if it wouldn't have been for you.



There is something to take away from the 2009 tournament.

You have friends who have fun with you, teamates who respect and need you and a family that loves you. Your a winner hands down in my book! Being a Champion will fade, medals will get packed away someday, but you will always have the love and support of who loves you the most.....and that you will have forever!

There............that is what I tried to tell you, but I was having too hard of a time not crying. I am softie and YOU know it :)

Oh the excitement....

in preparation for State Wrestling. The first and foremost exciting thing is I don't have to pack any yellow!!! That makes me very happy, second to watch some exciting wrestling and finally to spend some time with my family........

and to support Sheldon.



It will not be an easy road but one that I know this kid can accomplish great things on. Good Luck Sheldon.

Ron's New

CAR!...and he loves it. He totally fell in love with this car while in Oneil and he said he "had to have it". Well he found out who owned and it bang.....here it is.

Amazing....

I can NOT believe that I am about to watch the NASCAR Gatorade Duals. WOW amazing. It seems so weird to be back racing already. I swear yesterday was the first Husker game of the year. As I look forward to the NASCAR season a bit of me is worried for Clint and a bit of me is excited to watch him grow into the Cheerios #33 car. Yes, I am missing him in the Old #07 BUT he is wearing a yellow suit and sporting my two favorite colors. Yellow and Red. SO good luck to Clint Bowyer in the Shootout today, the Daytona 500 on Sunday and the entire Season! Make that Chase Clint!

I am hoping this is not a permant thing and hopefully this will NOT hang on. I don't really want to be sick this week or weekend so send me good feeling well vibes......
