Yay!\u00c2\u00a0 I received my red belt last night at the belt ceremony.\u00c2\u00a0 I was super happy to rank up but sad that Bryan was missing the ceremony.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s the first one he missed.\u00c2\u00a0 Luckily, some people there were nice enough to take pictures for me and email them so that I could remember the moment.\u00c2\u00a0 :)\u00c2\u00a0 Ok, so it’s not the best moment of my life, but still, I want it captured nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Here are the pictures:<\/p>\n

red belt<\/a><\/p>\n

I still can’t believe how far I’ve come since starting TKD.\u00c2\u00a0 And I really can’t believe how close that black belt is.\u00c2\u00a0 So, I’m a red belt now, and next I’ll test for senior red.\u00c2\u00a0 Assuming I pass that test, the next test would be for my black belt!\u00c2\u00a0 I’m 2 testings away from black!!!\u00c2\u00a0 Wow!\u00c2\u00a0 Of course this was my last testing without breaking boards.\u00c2\u00a0 From now on I have to do my form, sparring, and break 2 boards (one with a foot technique and one with a hand technique) to pass.\u00c2\u00a0 Failing to break even one board means a no change, and that would really suck.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I have broken boards in the past so I’m not too, too scared…only a little scared.\u00c2\u00a0 :)\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone gets 3 chances to break.\u00c2\u00a0 We use rebreakable boards so you have to be dead on.\u00c2\u00a0 I would prefer real wood, but I also wouldn’t want to clean all that up.\u00c2\u00a0 I completely understand how much easier it is to use the rebreakable kind.\u00c2\u00a0 I should start practicing now.<\/p>\n

Bryan comes home today.\u00c2\u00a0 If everything goes smoothly with his flights, he should be home around 8 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank goodness!\u00c2\u00a0 I spent last night tossing and turning and doing very little sleep.<\/p>\n

Monday I’m going to Mississippi!!!!\u00c2\u00a0 I can’t wait! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
