An unexpected honor...

On Sunday afternoon, Meri attended her 2nd Taekwondo testing in a nearby town and received her yellow belt! We're so proud of her! She really did a great job on her orange belt form and one steps. She can't wait to get to sparring and board breaking!
At the awards part of the testing, the judges called that all black belts in the audience please come to the front of the room. My husband motioned for me to go. I'm actually a 2nd degree Black belt, but I hadn't been a member for almost 10 years! So I stayed put in my chair...

One of the judges came to the audience area and pointed at me! You too, maam, he says... Me? Really?? ok...

So I stood at the front of the room and shook the hands of all the students along with all the other Black belts. I hadn't done that in a REALLY long time! It kind of felt good!

Meri is asking me now, as well as the rest of my family, if I'm planning on getting back into Taekwondo again... Ah.. no! That was very clever of my old instructor to try to suck me back in... but nope. My life is too busy right now.

And I only know how to kill a man 3 different ways anymore... Vastly decreased since my hey day!

Is that the same as killing a man... A LOT? LOL. I surely enjoyed this post. Congratulations to Meri and to you. It sounds like both of you have good reason to be proud.

I hear that the multitude of ways to kill a man is like riding a bike, you never really forget. Ahem. Excuse me, I need to go spank my sense of humor.
