Excuse me for interrupting....but......

congrats! What did you decide to do for a celebration?

Sign him up for his Master's Belt (2nd degree blackbelt!)


and......Thanks everyone for your "congrats"....Ryan is reading them all and feeling quite proud!!! He actually tested last Friday night (9/8) and afterward, we went to friends' house to celebrate w/ their twin boys that were in the same class....and then people (mostly blackbelts) came and went...like an open party. It was neat to have everyone come and go and relax and talk to them...usually at school, the parents are "hanging out" and we only watch all the blackbelts...at the "party", we got to sit and talk with the kids..so, we had pizza and a cake for our 3 boys (& alcohol for the parents!) and for anyone else who was coming & going. Last night was the belt ceremony and after that we just came home, gave him a little gift (not much, but something he wanted) and got ready for bed....it was a school night ya know . Guess what my Christmas card is going to look like this year.....

Maybe, I'm the only one who sits around thinking up reasons why we must go on vacation.

Nah....that's why we get along so wonderfully.....I'm always thinking up reasons to go too....especially now we bought the Bealls AP's.... Now, a reason to go to Universal would be: to better be able to play that game they are playing.....I haven't been there enuf to know the answers! ......but I'm working on it!
