A New Season of College Wrestling

Let the season begin...Trenton has been conditioning since he started back to school in September and has been in full season practice for a few weeks now.  Last week he called and told us he was going to be applying at Pet Supplies Plus in Naperville for some extra cash since he has no classes on Tuesday and Thursdays.  Well, he started Tuesday!  So proud of him for stepping up.  Sounds like he is extremely busy between classes, practices and work now.  He begins his season this Saturday, which we will be unable to go to since it is just over 4 hours away (Concordia).  This makes me sad.  It is just really hard for me because we have been so involved in our boys' athletics and activities since they were small.  Last year we were able to go and support Trenton more than what we thought after Tyler was injured at the beginning of his wrestling season.  I know Trenton is aware that this is Tyler's senior year and he wants us to go and support Tyler this last year, but believe me, we will be supporting Trenton EVERY chance we get.  He has promised to call after everytime he wrestles to update us on how he does and he holds true to his word.  That I am glad for.  Not being there to watch in person does not lighten my nervousness about him wrestling one bit.  I am on edge until I hear from Trenton...it's the kind of person I am and I wouldn't change that for the world.  Feeling every emotion my boys feel and more...living in the moment.  It's what it is all about.  My boy will be wrestling 149 lbs. this year and hoping for a great season.  I know his practices have been tough and he has been going hard but it will pay off.  It will.  Below is Trenton's schedule for the season...and you gotta love his beard he has going on :)
