Part of this optimism derives from the fact that this year should be the year in which my family and I get the results we have fought for so long and so hard for. First of all we have finally set a goal for ourselves physically as well as mentally. Second, if everything goes as planned, I should be testing for my black belt in Tang Soo Do this year!! Hurray! Third, I have finally finished my first step towards my dream of getting a Masters in psychology (College: check). Next step: Bachelor's. :-)
Let's talk about what has been going on since my last update. My oldest son Eddie has finally obtained his black belt!!! We are SOOOO proud of him, especially since he is the first child to get to that level in our dojan. At his promotion he was asked to say a speech. Well he said something that really surprised us; He thanked us parents for "never letting him quit." (Were NOT expecting that!) Tears of joy were clouding my eyes for the fact that he got it. He actually got it! GO EDDIE!
We had a few "sad" things happen too but I would rather not talk about those right now. Maybe one day....
Also, my husband is having to work overtime so that is kind of weighing on the family. In addition, we have had my in-laws visit from Italy for THREE weeks in October/November of last year. It was nice for the kids to finally have some grandparents to play with, and they helped out some too. Yet, we always find it extra difficult to get back on track once they leave. Our kids do not do good with change!
This year I will be focusing on my mind and (especially) my body. I have goals in mind that I will reveal to you soon. For now, all I want to say is; Hurray for Subway, Chipotle and Schlotzsky's ! Also, God bless Boxing classes and MyFitness app.! Will tell you the details soon enough :-)
