Well, this was another great weekend. My friend and fraternity brother Adam S. came up to visit, on his way from Georgia to California. I know, it's not the most direct route, but he wanted to take "the Northern Route" to visit some places he hadn't been before. He was only here for a day, but it was wonderful to get to see him again and spend some time together. He's about to embark on a missions trip to South America, so this will be the last time I see him for quite awhile. By now he's back on the road, well on his way to California, then to South America in a couple of months. Please pray for him if you can. Anyways, we had a great time on Sunday, and here are a few pictures of our adventures if you're interested...
In TaeKwon-Do news, I received an email from Mr. McDaniel, the instructor with whom I trained in Wisconsin over Memorial Day weekend. He thinks that I should test for 3rd Degree at the upcoming black belt test in November. This really caught me off-guard. I've been working hard on my requirements, but according to the "rules", I haven't trained long enough at 2nd Degree to test. However, apparently there is some flexibility there and it seems that he believes I warrant the right to an advanced test. I am honored and humbled at this suggestion, and have decided to devote myself to getting ready for November. Those who know me well know that I'm a perfectionist - I do nothing halfway. If I'm going to test in November, I will make sure I display the best of my ability. This means hard training, everyday, for the next 5 months. I'm looking forward to it.
