I AM A GREEN BELT!!!

Another step up the "belt" ladder! I am officially a green belt! I passed a grueling, exhausting 4 1/2 hour test on Sunday. All of my hard work and practice did pay off. We did basics (punches, kicks, blocks, etc.), forms, take downs, and board breaking.

My sobumnim's patience is unreal. I could not have done it without him! He is such an inspiration. He is so powerful and influential. It also would not have been possible with out my "coach" who put in more time and effort than anyone ever has for me. She is so motivating and I aspire to be like her one day. I am so thankful for my fellow students who are encouraging and beyond helpful.

I love this feeling of achievement and cannot wait to continue on this journey. I am beyond enthused about furthering my knowledge and training.

A visit with the cutest baby around has taken place...far overdue as well. 4 months is too long!!
She is such an amazing baby!!! She's so happy, she is getting a dimple and becoming tickilish! She is starting to "babble", too!!
She loves me and I can't wait for my good friends Denise and Carl to take a night out for themselves so I can babysit her and get her all to myself!!!
