It's been awhile since I've posted a news/feature type photo. So here you go.

I can't believe graduation is a mere 33 days away. I've spent five years of my life here at Central and I don't feel nearly ready to leave it yet. I've also spent nearly two years working for Life and I know, despite the sometimes drama and overwhelming work it can be at times that I wouldn't be who I am and where I am without it. Not to mention all the great people I've met along the way.
So here's to another five years and another new adventure.

Its baseball season and its Michigan, which means, its still cold as hell outside!

Grandpa.
There's a lot of things I could say.
I remember how he always wore plaid, red and green it would seem were his favorites. His love of cars, gas station memorabilia and mostly flowers, gardens and tulips undoubtedly.
He said hello in a way I couldn't begin to explain or even articulate but in a way that was uniquely his own.
He loved coffee and donuts in the morning and indulged in chocolate covered cherries and sweets whenever possible.
I'll never forget his greased jet black hair or the white hankies he carried in his back pocket and strangely enough the sound of him blowing his nose.

This picture isn't how I'll remember him. I want to remember a more vibrant agile man that he always was before succumbing to the reality that is age and terrifyingly enough, cancer.


But that's the beauty of pictures.
We can capture something we want to remember long after its gone.

I know what you're thinking. Jessica, more wrestling?

I was recently privileged the opportunity to travel down to St. Louis MO to watch Central Michigan University's Mike Miller take on the number one seed, University of Michigan's Steve Luke in the 174 weight class in the NCAA National Wrestling Championships. Despite the fact it was nearly an 8 hour drive there and back, and the fact that we literally got out of the car, inside the Scottrade Center and shot, then back in the car to make the trek back to Michigan all within 24 hours, it was still amazing. Yes Miller did lose, 8-4, but he did it with class and still became an All-American and second runner-up.
The atmosphere was contagious and the wrestling, which I'm big fan of, was spectacular.

I'm really thankful I got to do this before I graduate and I'm really thankful it was for such a great sport and team as the CMU wrestlers.

I made it my goal this semester to get better and better at shooting sports, particularly wrestling and I think I did pretty well.

There's always room for improvement but I achieved something it making it this far, nevertheless.

Time to update this little one, hard to believe she'll be one year old in April.
