A little bit more this time

Hey folks,

Hope you enjoyed my two word journal yesterday. The younger testers are probably going, "that's all I have to do?" Well, the reasoning was the site went down during my journaling. Anyway, this one will have more than two words, but probably won't be as deep. As I went to the journal section, I saw an old journal titled, Dancing with Ding Dongs. It was about taking black belt class and Master Richie was my partner. He and I were so discombobulated on this move, that Master Evins finally had to have us switch partners. So many fond memories of Master Richie. He was one of a kind. 

Today, was a sleep in day. Felt sooo good. Then I was off to prep the new school for painting due to my painter sent me his quote to paint, and well, now Master Knight and I will be doing most of the painting. Got to make the budget stretch. Got home around 8, and as most of you can feel my pain, it was time to knock out those requirements. 

Tomorrow is a monumentous day for our family. Connor decided to be baptized a few weeks ago. After a two week class and a lot of great discussion, he going under tomorrow. I'm so proud of him. Especially this being his decision. His new journey begins. Well, there's a hot tub calling my name. Drive safe, don't eat too much, don't bring up politics with your in laws, and watch out for odd looking potato salad. It's the gift that always gives back at both ends.
