It's been a while since I posted.  I have since been promoted to Cho Dan (1st degree Black Belt). The feeling is something that I cannnot put into words.  It's the small things I notice - not just in me but in my son and husband as well.  We carry ourselves with a greater amount of confidence.  We have experienced the thrill of achieving a goal that we have worked long and hard for.  Putting on our black belt dobak makes us stand a little taller. 

A point to our black belt uniform - it is actually midnight blue.  Black is final and we are never done learning so our colors symbolize that.  Before our test I thought 1st degree would be as far as I go, but now I want that 2nd degree!  It'll take a couple years to get there but I know we have it in us to keep going and prove that we can do it!
