Sooo it's been a while since I've posted something here.  I've had some life changes, I guess you could say. If you know me, you know what they are, so I won't waste my time talking about it here, just know I'm doing really well. I'll give you the updates on me now.

I have plenty of art projects to finish for Christmas presents, once again....and nooooo I can't tell you since you may be getting one...duhhhhh! I'm practicing guitar almost every day still and just love playing. I know 4-5 songs and I can play for longer periods of time now...even my arm doesn't get as tired when playing. That is, unless I worked out beforehand, which bridges to another subject:

I started practicing karate again!  I'm so stinkin excited.  This was my LIFE before I moved to Indiana so I'm really happy to do it again. My body, however, is not so happy with me, but it's gonna get there.  I've gone 3 times so far...which for me is more like 10 classes...since I usually go to 2-4 classes when I go. Sensei doesn't mind, he says he's really glad I'm back, and is doing all he can to bring me back up to speed...and to get me to teach again, lol.  Just waiting for my body to catch up with my brain now.  I have relearned 5 of my katas, one is a weapon kata, and am working on 3 more. It's coming back quickly and it feels good to be working on something I know I can be good at. My muscles have been sore since I began almost 2 weeks ago but I remember the feeling and it will go away soon.


PICTURE TIME!

So here's a kinda blurry pic with my advanced brown belt (couldn't find a good one in my black belt)...good times :)

Advanced brown belt (2005)

While searching for FOREVER to find this pic on my mom's computer, I ran across some old pics of me I thought I'd share, too.

Easter pic?
Mom said I liked to use tools, apparently I was picking on him and measuring his belly)
One of my favs of me and Lorraine (12/24/03)

Jillie (1.5) and me (20) playing in the yard 8/15/04

From the Mitchell Family Reunion (10/23/11). Possibly  me and Kira's best pic together. :)



Welp, hope you've had fun down my memory lane.

About Me

My photo
I have a Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology, I am also a photographer, daughter, dog-lover, painter, tech-dependent, procrastinator, I am sort-of outside the box...not that I try to be, and many more. But most of all, I'm easily distracted ;)
