It’s the most wonderful time… of the year! :)

Most people get excited because this time of the year means the Holidays, I get excited because this time of the year means WRESTLING SEASON! Wrestling season has always carried some of my best memories for me. I was a manager from 7th grade til I graduated. I met some awesome people who had a huge impact on my life, and had a freaking BLAST!  There is a extremely special place for wrestling in my heart. It really REALLY sucks being in Minneapolis right about now. lol. Last year I only made it to one meet and didn’t get to go to state because of my class schedule. This year will be MUCH different. Especially since one of my best friends is a senior.

Yesterday I was working on clearing out one of my External Hard-drives which is full and spent some good time looking at old wrestling photos… lets look at this, what I think is hilarious, photo. 1) check out how long my hair is! 2) I’m not sure why I look like I’m going to murder someone, I swear I don’t hate the world. ANYWAYS! other fun photos! that’s me, second from the left, in my sophomore year, with two of the greatest coaches  I’ve work with, I’ve worked with 9 or 10 different coaches over the years.

But there is one coach, who made the biggest difference…  Justin Dean, who now coaches for North Scott, but was a coach at Central my fresh and soph year. Justin is one fierce coach, I will admit, he scared the living daylights out of me for about the first year I knew him, but he is also a Pastor. A great Pastor at that. Had I not transferred from Durant to Davenport Central for high school, I probably would have never met him and would definitely not be the same person I am today. I have now known Justin for 6 years, I have not only had the pleasure of working with him during wrestling season, but also directly under him as his assistant at church. I have so many good memories with Justin from wrestling season alone, for one, I introduced him to Jack Johnson. With which he quickly became hooked and would ask to listen to my iPod all the time. haha  I could write an entire blog post, or maybe a couple, on what this man has done for me.

ANYWAYS. Here are some more photos that I took for your viewing pleasure! Let’s get this season started people!
