Hello everyone- Well the cat is out of the bag...Yup, Amy and I are going to finally cross that bridge into parenthood. Pretty exciting and scarry. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm ready or saying stupid things like, "Oh, you're life's gonna change now." Thanks, I didn't know that and besides, my life has already changed as Amy has unofficially joined the secret sorority of mom's. This sisterhood feels like it is appropriate to induct new members by sharing intimate details of their own pregnancy(ies). Things such as: pinched veins, constipation, moodiness, and tearing...ummmmm yeah, I have an active imagination and so when I hear that I can see it and that pretty much sums up how my life has already changed...thanks so much for finding out my wife is pregnant and then sharing with her (while I'm standing there...really appreciate my 'honory' membership though association) your 'tearing.' Super.
On a different note, Wrestling is finally over. This is two years in a row that we got clobbered. I am feeling pretty discouraged by it right now. There is an article that from the Oregonian from early in the year that reads "Woodburn, Oregon's soccer city." Pretty much sums it up. A follow up article could read "Woodburn, do other sports exist there?" That's how I feel sometimes. We just get beat up and I continually have to remind the kids that they are wrestling very athletic kids with a history of wrestling...but who's reminding me? Sometimes all I see is my coaching getting pounded on. It's hard to not internalize your teams performance as a reflection of yourself. Anyway, it's over for another year. Time to lick the wounds and move on.
Well, the New Year is year and so much lies ahead. I will post some more pics of backdated stuff just so you can peruse some of what happened in 2007. Take care, Dave
