Landscaping part 2
We pretty much finished the little wall in the front of the house. We still have to get 1-2 more blocks for the corner; and get a block split to fill in the holes on the side by the house. We also have to buy blocks to surround the tree out front, but at $2.77 per block, I think we’ll wait a bit.

Karate gallery back up
Ok, hopefully I got the black belt graduation pictures/video back up and running. If it doesn’t work for some reason, let me know. *crosses her fingers*

Banned: smoking in cars with kids
NWAnews.com :: Northwest Arkansas’ News Source
It would be great it more states followed Arkasas (for a change!). They have a bill going thru their state government banning smoking in cars if there is a child strapped into a carseat (so basically under 7 yrs old). Thats something that always ticked me off — going to Wal-Mart for some groceries and see both parents climb out of a car with lit ciggarettes.
Sounds like a good idea to me!

Stupid gallery
Grrrr…..
For some reason, the gallery for the black belt promotion isn’t working right. Some pictures don’t do anything when you click on them, and even though it’s on there, the video for the board breaking won’t come up either. Paul and I have to redo the entire album tomorrow night. Bear with us please! We’re taking it down for now, but we’ll let everyone know when it’s back up and running smoothly.

It’s Official!
I had my black belt graduation ceremony tonight, so I’m “officially” a black belt! I even went to my first black belt class tonight.
For the promotion, we each did a kata (form) and gave a little speech to give thanks to everyone who helped us on our journey. Then we broke some boards; I broke 3 (palm, front kick and side kick). Unfortunatly they again, didn’t have concrete so no major cool breaking yet 🙂 Hopefully I’ll get to do that someday. After breaking we got our belts!
I have a TON of pictures, and I don’t have time to wade through them all tonight. I’ll get them up tomorrow. Paul did a wonderful job getting videos of me breaking this time, so you can see my brute strength *smirks*
More to come tomorrow!

Landscaping
We started putting the little wall in the front yard today. We have to buy many more bricks, but this will give you an idea about what we’re doing. It will eventually wrap around like an “S” to meet up with the driveway, making a few turns on the way. There will be some bricks around the tree and around the bush on the left of the garage. Click on the picture below to see the rest of the pictures from today’s work.
