State

Well we survived state. Matt lost his first match, won his second after a very stressful triple overtime, then lost his last which took him out of the competition. But we had a fun time and we are so proud of him and what he accomplished by just going. He was devastated, more then I have ever seen him devastated which really broke my heart, but he is better now. I am sure he is sick of listening to everyone tell him that he still has his senior year!

Robins boss gave him 6 tickets to Thursdays opening night. They were for a suite at the Pepsi Center so we went with Robins mom and dad and my dad and step mom. It was pretty cool. We had fun just messing around in that. It had a bar, TV, computer and very plush seats (which Robin and I appreciated even more the next day when we had our seats in the general seating lol). Most of the pictures are of us in the suite and pictures of the suite lol. After talking with Chuck and Pat we decided to take the Lite Rail into the Pepsi Center on Friday and that was a lot of fun. Between wrestling sessions we took it into downtown Denver to the 16th street mall where we ate at the Cheesefactory. It was okay and I can now say we have been but don't know that we would go back lol. We also walked around one of my favorite bookstores called 'The Tattered Cover' which is in a really old building. Then back on the train to the Pepsi Center for wrestling that night.

The picture of Matt is right after he won his second match. The group picture on the mat is him and his 3 team mates that went with him. We had such an awesome team with such good sportsmanship and togetherness.
