RJ doesn't get a ton of airtime on my blog because 1) My friends all drool over how "hot" he is and quite frankly, I'd rather hear about how hot I am and not how hot my brother is...he's cute...but not hot in my sisterly opinon...and 2) I rarely see him and if I do...it's in passing...he's busy working on graduating from the U in May...being engaged...reading the word...exercising...eating really nasty healthy stuff (like the last concoction I witnessed which was a combination of cottage cheese, tuna and those round hard tortilla shell things--BLEH) to keep up that less than 2 percent body fat, temple of a body that allows him to be NUMBER ONE in all things track. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
RJ is annoyingly persistent and goal oriented...when he was little, he wanted some BMX bike so he walked dogs...and maybe mowed lawns if I can remember??? until he had saved up enough money to get one...I on the other hand, would have let that money burn a whole in my pocket before the summer was up...NOR would I have offered up any kind of physical labor services to attain my goal =) But he's a go getter...even down to the food he eats. He obviously likes crappy food like pizza and ice cream...I don't think anyone in our family could pass those things up BUT with track and his records that he has in his head to beat...he eats the kind of crap I described earlier...(and I think he MIGHT even like it)...he's determined...he was the same way when football was his focus...he'd watch the videos over and over to see what he could have been doing better.
Anyway, what I was getting at was that RJ, for the second year in a row, won the Big Ten Indoor title in the heptathlon. (RJ is in the middle below)
So, Yea RJ! Keep doing what you're doing...because you're pretty awesome at it. Sorry I wasn't there to witness it all myself but being your sister, I've gotten to witness how wonderful you've become in ALL areas of your life...not just track. (And believe me...you've grown a lot since the days of your punching me in the jaw and my giving you a bloody nose in return =) It's easy to be proud (and maybe sometimes a pinch jealous) of all that you're accomplishing now and all that you will in the future. I love you!
Aww, This was really sweet - you becoming all Nice and Soft in your momness time at home!
