The First one.......

Yesterday I cleared the first hurdle of getting my black belt and catching up to David (like I can do that).   I got my yellow belt.    It has been a lot of fun so far.   Was super excited for David to be there and cheer me on.     Been fun.  

I also managed to pull a muscle (hamstring?)  It is painful and has kept me from doing much of anything.   I go trying to do a roundhouse spinning hook kick and then BAM instant pain.  LOL   I guess I need to stretch out more.

New Adventures!!!!!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing my certification for scuba diving. It has been much more fun than I had expected. I am not the best swimmer, but thiings are just so calm and relaxing underwater. This past Wednesday I made my first dive to 50 feet. (prior we had done skills dives at the bottom of a 12' pool). That was really neat. We went to the crater at the Homestead in Midway, utah.

Last night they had a discover scuba class. I took David to see how he'd like it. I expected a bit more nervousness and maybe reluctance to attempt some of the skills he had to learn, but he suprised me and suprassed all my hopes. He did great. We spent a half hour or so after the class scubaing around under the water together. He did great!!! We need to work on normal swimming skills, but once he masters that more, he wants to get cerified as well and then we can go on diving trips together!!!! That would be a blast!!!!
