Taekwondo...finally

Well, I finally started Taekwondo and it is kicking my butt. I started on Monday (today's Friday), and I am sore and feel like I have the lungs of an 80-year-old. It's a whole lot of fun though. Rachel's been sweet enough to help me practice in the evening, so I don't look to foolish in class.
For an update- I've been working everyday, about half the school day, and am just trying to keep up with the apartment cleaning and the laundry around here! Rachel will end her first semester next Friday, and is practicing 3 days a week with the Taekwondo Demonstration Team. She will also start practicing for soccer tryouts in the middle of February. My dear husband, Chris, will be headed down south the last week of January on TDY, and will be back in the States for the first three weeks of February, so he'll pretty much be gone for a month. I guess Rachel and I will have to get the next couple seasons of Friends and have our traditional marathon while he's gone! I'm sure Em will be glad to hear that...
Anyway, Chris finally gave the Xbox a rest after beating both Halo and Halo 2, but the weather has stayed in the teens or twenties, so we've been watching a lot of movies. We did have about a half an hour of snow flurries last Saturday, and some of it stuck to the ground. Rachel walked around that entire time with a huge grin on her face and her tongue out! Kinda gross, actually...
We had a wool coat tailor-made for Rachel, and are picking it up today in Itaewon-she's pretty excited to finally have a coat with long arms!!! She'll have a long weekend to try it out, since there's no school (or work) on Monday.
So that's about it for the Scott household. I hope everyone else is doing well, and enjoying the winter weather. I'm actually enjoying the cold this year, especially in our nice, cozy apartment with Ozzy to keep my feet warm.
