Nidan Test (aka lots a sweat)

Mom survived Josh's Nidan test friday night. We weren't sure it would be open to spectators but it was and I grinned and bared it. Sucks to see your kid hit, but if that is what he wants. Damn, he'll be 21 in November, so really it is his choice. We are so proud of him. He passed the test and is now a second degree black belt in the Zen Do Kai organization. Karate is one of the best things that ever happened to him. It is like his religion in a non religious way. Here are some photos!! Love you Shell!!

No Longer a Kayak Virgin!!

Woohoo!! Thanks to Toni and Jerry, Todd and I tried out kayaking yesterday. We loved it. Very serene. We can never get enough of that these days. And of course it must have burned a few calories?? Here is a photo of the handsome sexinesses Toni and I get to live with. Woohoo...Life is good! he he he snort...

And here is proof that there were kayaks there... great photo of Toni!! Very introspective, (Is that a word)? Thanks for the fun guys we loved it!! Lunch was good too!
