I promised Pictures of the black belt ceremony. However, none of them really turned out. It's very sad. They all look like clusters of shadow.
But I did get it.
Thank you so much to you wonderful people for supporting me and cheering me on in this. I was surrounded by friends, and showered with gifts.
The ceremony itself was really pretty cool. Lots of folks received belt promotions; I was not the only one. However, I was the only one to receive the Black. My instructors had me kneel, and they displayed this beautiful satin sash embroidered with my name in pink. Then, they gathered around me and prayed for me. I love my martial arts people.
So, there you have it.
Now I need a new goal.

Kudos!! Are there degrees of black belt that you can work towards? Or maybe you should try out a new martial art? Just a thought.
A pinkish black belt. Must be a girl thing!
Do you now have to carry a card announcing you are a non concealed deadly weapon? Might get better service from waitresses, coach purses might suddenly be on sale at your local outlet, old women would be pulling their sons off of the sidewalks as you pass - "Careful honey, that one is a fully loaded black belt....."
Yep, just think how your life will now change.
Kris is cracking me up...
So proud of you... we have to get together soon so we can go walk through dark alleys together or something...
