Party

Woke up early and attended black belt class. I really enjoyed the session this morning. Right after, I headed over to my in-laws' house to help set up for my father-in-law’s 75th birthday party—his birthday was a few weeks back, but today was the big celebration.

​From there, I rushed home to grab my car and went over to King Tiger to help out and take some photos at the Jr. Instructors Camp. I couldn't stay long with the party underway, so I wrapped up, rushed back home to change, and headed back to the party.

​It was a fantastic turnout—great barbecue, good music, and awesome people to catch up with. Later in the evening, Texas pulled off a victorious, nail-biting win against Ohio State—an absolute classic game.

​Heading to bed now to rest up before leading the breaking routine with the kids in the morning.
