Belt testing was a success! I am now an Orange belt!

I am really excited over this. The testing was
harder than my prior belts and I think our
Sensei rode us harder than before. I am glad!

I hurt a little bit today due to a leg injury I had
gotten on Monday, but other than that, I am fine.

This was also the first test in which some of
our coworkers came to watch. Like testing isn't
stressful enough lol. One of the girls who came
to watch is the one who gives me a lot of trouble
at work about my weight.

For once, I fully felt confident in myself and it went
well. We demonstrated our kick sets and bo staff.

It was awesome because I haven't had my own bo staff.
I have been using one of the school's. When I went to test,
I went to ask for one to use. One of my instructors said she
had a special one for me.

She pulled it out of the closet, and it was my
height...and it had a blue/silver bow on it.
Our school's colors. I guess a couple weeks ago,
my other half had purchased it. It was my instructors idea to
put the bow on it and give it to me during the class.

It was awesome. A perfect night. Thanks for all the
support!!

Celeste

Thanks everyone! I truly appreciate it! With my advanced yellow belt, the first time my friend and I wore them, was during a kick a thon to help a class mate. 1,000 kicks in an hour. I didn't think we could do it, but we did.

I know that only more great things are around the corner!
