So proud of my hubby!

Last night Jeremy and I had our shotokan belt test. Mine is the white belt (obviously) but those yellow tips represent almost 7 months of hard core karate training. i worked my butt off for those tips, and i'm way proud of them, so i'm posting them! tests are every 4 months, but i started a couple months before the last test so i wasn't able to test then. Last night I actually tested for the yellow belt and passed, but haven't been in there for a full 8 months, so i was only able to receive the tips. Our Sensei said he would test me early for the yellow belt since i'm already on that level. So hopefully here pretty soon, I'll be sporting a nice yellow belt! And Jeremy, holy cow, you guys have to see him to actually believe how amazing he is! He got his brown belt last night. In 4 months he'll get to take off a stripe, then 6 months later take off the second stripe, and a year after that, he'll take off the third stripe and receive his black belt. I am very very proud and amazed at Jeremy, he is super impressive and sooo amazing to watch. My jaw just drops to see the stuff he can do. We'll be starting Courtney in shotokan when she is about 5 years old. We'll both be black belts by then and able to teach others. As our sensei says, "A family that kicks together, sticks together".

You are so amazing to do this and it inspires me to want to get into something active like that.
