APA 2012

This weekend Chris competed in the Regional APA Tournament in Nashville.

He qualified as a 3, was a 4 at the tournament and then got bumped up to a 5 before the finals... a little kick in the ass but he managed anyway.

Julie and I spent two days in a smoky dive watching and waiting, hoping and praying, and trying to send every ounce of our good juju to Chris.

He played "like a boss" (Julie's phrase of the weekend) and kicked complete ass!

We are so outrageously proud of him!

Now, he is a Nationals Finalist and will be traveling to Las Vegas in late April to compete!

Everyone is thrilled for him and I think he may still be in a bit of disbelief, it's a dream come true!

So here are a few craptastic phone pictures from this weekend.
