12/18/09 My Red Belt Test (3rd Gup)

So after 3 years I tested for my red belt in Tang Soo Do. Here are some pictures of the test. Annie and Rae tested at the same time so I was glad to have them there with me.
Here we are warming up. I don't know about Rae and Annie, but I was pretty nervous. Good times.
Hand combination #13....Yeah, believe it.
Annie, Rae, Julian and some girl I don't know.
I really don't know what we were doing here...but we look cool doing it cuz we're in full Dobok with awesome belts. Hi-ya!

Christmas Time at the Jensen's

It's Christmas time. I just wanted to show some pictures of our house and stuff.

Our remodel is finished! Observe the amazing "Before and After" differences from our previous posts and these!


Our cute little living room looks sooooo much better than it did a few weeks ago.

Living Room Remodel - Day 1

Today was the first day in our attempt to remodel our living room. Below are a few images of what it started out as:

Our Lovely Couch

It is kind of messy...



While we were ripping into the archway, we stumbled upon a surprise! Whoever had put the archway together decided to hide some wiring with the archway, rather than put it in the wall like it should. Below are some pictures depicting the wire and our attempt to fix the wiring...

Pretty nice, eh?

Regarding Corporate Propaganda

I know it is dumb, but Albertsons has this weird thing about giving its employees random buttons to help make them "excited" about new products. I usually get excited to deface them with a pen or Sharpie. Today I made my newest incarnation of our corporate propaganda:

This Year's Valentine's Day

I know this is a little late, but this year's Valentine's Day was way fun. We slept in which was much needed. Neither of us wanted to fix breakfast so I decided to be the bigger man and took Jen to JB's. ;) We were lazy the whole day, just napping, watching TV, etc. Then we made a very nice dinner for ourselves.

The secret is in the seasoning.

The finished Product!

The veggies were so good.

The lovely Jen preparing the chocolate.

Fun-Due.

After dinner we watched a few episodes of Desperate House Wives (DHW) and let our food settle. Once everything was settled in we warmed up some chocolate and had some fondue! It was so good. We cut up some strawberries and banana (I forgot to grab the raspberries), turned the lights down low, turned the lights back up to find some candles, lit the candles, turned the lights down low again and enjoyed some great dessert with some great company (at least great female company... the male company was pretty okay). Overall, Valentine's Day 2009 = Best Valentine's Day ever.
