I planned a great post proclaiming the great news. But it was all foiled by ripway. So I will simply have to blurt it out.

What great news, you ask?

I GOT MY BLACK BELT TODAY.

I broke my boards. And got my black belt. It's sitting right infront of me.

I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it I did it

Sarah I am calling you tomorrow if you read this. And will post pictures of wood and such asap.

I think we should declare this a day of celebration. February 18th. Mark it on your calendars. From this day onward it shall be a day where we all eat lots and lots of ice cream. It'll be a giant party!!

Words cannot express how amazing this is. I've done it, I've actually done it.
