One day short of two months...wow, that's a pretty good record! *dodges rotten fruit*

Well, Memphis was a blast. They kept us extremely busy (I could never manage to live there for a full year like some of the Character Choaches do) but I think it was worth it. BonnieJean did really well in the schools and working with the kids. She had some problems with some of the other Character Choaches at first, but things got better towards the end.

A couple weeks ago BonnieJean and I went to ORU's college weekend. I'm looking at taking their Multi-Media major and BonnieJean is thinking about something math based, possibly teaching math. We've sent in our application and should be finding out yea or nay soon. I'm taking the ACT again in December in the hopes of getting a 31 or higher so I have a chance at a full scholarship. With my current score (28) I'd get $5,500 a year and with one more point it would be $6,000 a year.

Well, I'm not going to be testing for my green belt until December (the 8th to be exact). I just didn't have enough time before going to Memphis to learn what I needed so I could work on it there. I'm thinking I might possibly test for blue half-way through this next period and then test for purple at the next all-school testing date (in other words, advancing two belts in three months...hard, but not impossible).

BonnieJean is going to be working in Taiwan from late January to mid August of next year. In fact she'll be getting back home one week after classes start at ORU, but they said that would be fine. It's going to be hard for her to be gone for so long, but I guess we'll live.

Work is going well. Naomi almost has her back hand spring by herself (I just have to apply a little bit of upward pressure on the small of her back to give her an extra half second to her hands down). Tumbling classes are a blast. I've got a round-off back hand spring by myself and a standing back tuck by myself (although I only land it about half the time...) I can also do a punch front (front flip) and front hand spring by myself.

Dad has this week off and is working hard on the remodel. He's going to be buying the sheet rock today and we'll start putting it up in the next few days. He's hoping to get the brick work done this weekend. It's actually starting to look like a real room.

Well, I have to get off now. Bye, God bless y'all!
