Congratulations


My husband has such confidence in our abilities that when my son and I returned home Friday night we found this banner adorning the shelving in our utility room - right in front of us as we walked in the door.


The funny thing is that we didn't even notice it. My youngest had to point it out!


We haven't received our black belts yet. Apparently everyone who tested did pass, but new belts won't be handed out until next week. Our plain black belts will be replaced later by fancy ones embroidered with our names.

In class last night, we started learning the first of three patterns that we have to know for our second Dan test. It's called Gae-Baek and looks something like the one on this site. Although our school is part of the International Chang Hon Taekwondo Federation, our style is slightly different from that demonstrated on these videos.

CONGRATULATIONS! That's quite an accomplishment - the Man-Cub is currently a brown belt working on his brown trim and he'll get to Junior black belt sometime next year...

I love the banner!
