So, there was a "hurricane" here today. Nothing much, just lots of rain and wind. DC was too far away to get anything more than that.
Anyways, I have a lot of stuff to post. And I hopefully will do so soon. I'll be going through my china photos and whatnot and will hopefully show those off soon as well.
Anyways to bide your time, here is a video of me getting kicked in the groin and head. I hope it is enough to appologize for my tardiness on posting lately!

Memorial Day Camping
For memorial Day, Rachel and I went up to Ohiophyle state park in Pennsylvania. We went with a friend of hers from work and his wife. The same couple that got married last October in GR.
Anyways, on Saturday we went hiking, and found a couple decent water falls.
On Sunday we went white water rafting. Which was quite fun, and none of us fell out I'm happy to say. Sadly we couldn't take cameras on that one, due to you know... the water. And we were too cheap to purchase the ones they took of us.
On Monday then before leaving we went to Falling Water, which is the famous house by Franklin Lloyd Wright. We got the joy of touring it. And I must say, I want one.
Anyways, it really was tons of fun. And will be much more fun than having to go back to work tomorrow....
Anyways I'll try to update the post later when I get some more photos. These were just the ones taken with my phone. Which as you can see are really sub optimal. So hopefully Kevin and Daniele (the couple we went camping with) will share their photos which should turn out better.
Anyways, I hope everyone elses memorial day weekend went as well!

Game of Thrones Theme
For Stephen. A heavy metal version of the GoT opening theme. I personally think it is awesome!
Has everyone been watching and liking it so far? Personally I think every episode gets better and better! And I am excited to see two episodes tonight!

Karate Tournament
This past Weekend we had a Kempo Tournament that both Rachel and I competed in. I did pretty well I thought, I placed 1st in forms, and kempos, and 2nd in sparring. Then I picked up a trophy for side thrust kick board breaking as well. Rachel also did very well, getting 2 firsts and a second? She beat all the other girls at palm strike by breaking 3 boards! I fear her hands.....
Anyways, mom was there and managed to get some pictures... though they might be a little funny looking.... well lets find out!
This last one is of Carlos, he is a 4 year old that I teach his private lessons on Wednesday nights. He received 2 first place trophies and a 2nd place! He did awesome, and he was super excited and wanted to get a picture with me lol. By the way he is the cutest kid ever.
Unfortunately I was unable to get a video of my weapons form this year, due to technical difficulties with the camera (read: droid 2 phone) that we were using. But here is a video of me doing my form Pinan 5 tonight at academy. Which was the form I did and got 1st place at the tournament.

Aaaannnndd.. Here is a link to someone who videoed all the black belt part of the competition if you are all interested/curious.
