This is our last night in Central Florida. We spent the evening eating pizza on our king sized bed next a hyper little boy who just had the best weekend of his entire life. We watched the Miss USA pageant while Isaiah crawled all over us. It was great few hours before he fell asleep.
Today we went to Cocoa Beach. Emily and Gabby had their hearts on spending time in the ocean so we made the hour and a half drive to the Atlantic Coast. We were there for about three hours before coming back to Kissimmee. Poor Liz came back with major sunburn on her legs and shoulders. I really hope she recovers quickly.
This tournament marked the end of the season for Emily. She worked very hard this season and overcame a lot of adversity while constantly improving. Her efforts in the practice room didn't always show in how she competed. I get to see the daily progress, though, and she's very close to putting everything together. I'm proud of her for the choices that she's made over the past two years since coming to River Falls. I'm confident her hard work will start to show more and more next year. This year she developed a solid "go-to" shot and actually has a few great throws. There is still work to be done, but she has a few tools in the tool box now. As she becomes more comfortable, you'll see them in competition. She's always bringing something new to wrestling (and life) that challenges me to approach situations in a brand new way.
When I return home, I'll begin the Victory Tour - two weeks of intense practices in a different location each night. I'm excited about the opportunity to reach many more athletes with the "message of Victory." I have big expectations for the next two weeks.
