College, Dogs & Wrestling

Today Logan got his letter of acceptance from WSU along with a 2,000 Scholarship for his academics.

Good thing because yesterday while shopping in Spokane I came across these WSU dog t-shirts that I just couldn't resist and they were on clearance. Poor old Sparky is starting to show his age.
And......Aaron finally got his wrestling shoes in the mail - Size 17, here's my size 8 shoe next to his.
Since he has been wrestling he seems to think he can wrestle everyone and everything including poor Jasper. Now how unfair is that. When Aaron started wrestling he was 218, which put him in the unlimited category but he soon lost weight from all the work out, he has literally been working his butt off. His first match he was told he would wrestle some one his age and weight and experience (this is the first time he has ever wrestled, the coaches and team recruited him because of his weight and size - little did he know) Well as it turned out he was up against a Senior who was well experienced at wrestling and 285 pounds - needless to say Aaron got his but whipped in 20 seconds. Sooooo......that has pretty much been what the whole wrestling season has been like He is now down to almost 200 but sometimes they still make him wrestle unlimited. He went to Riverside to wrestle last weekend and came home and told me he had to wrestle Seniors with mustaches and tatoos. I feel for him, he has been a good sport and sticking it out but is getting his butt kicked. He is now down to almost 200 pounds, practices are gruelling. What made him decide to do this is beyond me but I am very proud of him.

Looks to me like they are boxing. Isn't his WSU shirt awesome!
