good testing day

TKD is so much fun! (Well, not so much fun sitting in those blasted bleachers for hours while in pain but that's another story)

Our day started early. Jen had to be there before 8:00 am. (sigh) On a Saturday morning........ She did great even under pressure. She had really bad butterflies before so she couldn't eat breakfast, either. She is pretty timid but we're gently working on that. But, she did do a great job. I'm so proud of her for getting out there, despite the pain and fear, and doing awsome.

After sitting hours for her 10 minute show (hey, we got to watch the black belts in action doing their testing, though!) we had to rush home for lunch and a quick rest before heading out for Jared and Jeff's big moment. They did super-d-duper as well. Afterward we had dinner with my folks at Fuddruckers and then came home to relax for the evening. phew!

Two things........James wasn't there/didn't test this time. One because he was out with the cracked ribs for the past 8 weeks and two because he was off refereeing two peewee football games. Jim is wanting to take classes now, too, so I may have all five testing on next cycle in 8 weeks. yikes!

One thing that strikes me is the difference in the size of the yellow belt group vs the other levels. This group that is moving thru the ranks is twice the size of the white belts group as well as the green and blue belts groups.

I will try to get some testing pics added in the next few days.
