No Excuse
So, I know that I have no excuse for leaving everyone hanging for months wondering what we have been up to. Don't worry, I won't try to make one up. But thank you, Crystal, for encouraging me to write something of an update on our blog. Clint and are staying busy - Clint has been especially busy at the Taekwondo school now that he is the sole manager there. He is working hard to make sales and better organize the school, and he is doing a great job. I am still working as an Administrative Assistant at The Nichols Center nursing home, and it has been a good experience for me. I enjoy working with the residents, and the office manager has given me a lot more responsibility in the office. I definitely don't get bored anymore, and I think I am grateful for that...hee,hee. Anyway, I also recently started taking Taekwondo in December so that I can better support Clint in his career and learn some sweet self defense moves as well. I am having fun, making friends, and I will possibly be testing for my yellow belt next week. Let's see, Clint and I love our new apartment, and I am FINALLY getting our second room cleaned out so that we can use it for more than just storage. Who knows - I might make it into a craft room. Well, I have to go but I just wanted everyone to know that Clint and I are enjoying life!

International TaeKwonDo Alliance State Championships!
Last weekend, Clint competed at the ITA State Championships in Meridian, MS. He brought home a Gold Medal in Traditional Forms and a Gold Medal in Traditional Freedesign Forms.
Here is some video footage of the Traditional Form. You can see some of the student's from the TKD school in the background.
Clint had some great sparring matches as well, and made it to the final round where, unfornately, he "struck out" by kicking his opponent in the face... (That is ILLEGAL) So he brought home a Silver Medal in Sparring
Sam (Clint's younger brother) also competed at the tournament and did well in his division bringing home a Gold and Silver Medal as well!
Congratulations to both of them!

Vroom Vroom!
Wow! Awesome! Cool! Neato! Stupendous! Fabulous! Connect Four!
This our New (+50,000 miles) 2008 Hyundai Sonata - We have been car shopping for a couple months now and finally got a great deal! And a Wonderful car! A big thank you to Dane Griffin's Auto Sales in AL!
We are not very good at keeping friends updated on all the fun stuff going on in our lives down south, and perhaps because that is due to the fact we have little going on right now... but THIS was BIG for us! And we are thrilled to show you our new toy!

Funny Mississippi Quotes of the Day
So, yesterday I was calling some businesses to find out about job openings. I had some pretty funny conversations, so I thought I would share a few.
1. I called a nursing home to ask about job openings. After she told me to come pick up an application, I asked for the business' address. She replied, "We are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Come by anytime." I tried to ask her again, speaking more slowly and clearly. This time she replied, "The jobs we have available are for CNAs, receptionists, and custodial." I was trying hard not to laugh when I asked her where the business was located yet again, just for the heck of it. She did not disappoint me with her random answer. "You just come up to the front desk and we will give you an application." Finally, I asked her one final time. This time, she got it. "Oh, we are right by the airport." At that point, I thanked her and went to look up the address on Mapquest. But I was really tempted to ask her if she was a resident of the home or the receptionist - because she honestly didn't hear my question the first four times I asked! Ah, good times.
2. I called a business asking about job openings, and the receptionist replied, "How should I know? I just answer the phone!"
As Mom Asay says, "Only in Mississippi!"
By the way, I got a job offer yesterday as a receptionist for a nursing home that is close to here. I am very excited and grateful for the offer, despite the fact that it doesn't pay well. I will have to decide whether or not I accept it by Monday.
