Today Kris earned the rank of Red/Black belt. She began this journey in March of 2009. Now almost three years later, her goal of black belt is in sight. The testing ceremony today was merely a display of all the hard work, through all the weeknight classes, over the past several months. Somewhere in the midst of being a full time Mom, making her own laundry soap, baking her own bread, caring for our two boys, being a wife and friend to me, running half marathons, and so many other things I can't even remember to describe, she managed to commit to memory a full three years worth of form and curriculum. She put it all together today, perfectly.
If you need inspiration, if you want strength in your life, get closer to Kris. You will not be disappointed.
