So what's been going on... well, lots! Sophia and I have been training in martial arts for about 3 months now. On Saturday, Sophia and I will be testing for our orange belts. I am so nervous but it has been challenging and fun. I wish I would have tried it years ago because I am so in love with martial arts. Our school is mixed martial arts so we learn all types. I mean, where as an adult can you get away with kicking, punching and yelling? It is such a great stress relief. Plus I enjoy sharing this activity with my daughter. Wish us luck!

Another thing happening is where to send Sophia to kindergarten? So her dad and I live on opposite ends of town and the schools we are zoned for are so-so. And with all the budget cuts in Nevada, well the public schools here are losing so much funding. Class size of 30, I don't think so. So Shaheen and I have had long discussions as to where is the best place to send Sophia. The chance of a variance is super slim here in Washoe County. Where else? Catholic school? Um, not so much, nothing against them it is just not our first choice. Sophia and I went to tour a school called Brookfield. It is a private school K-8, 150 students total. Class size is 12 to 1, their reading and math scores are in the top 10% in the nation, traditonal calendar school year.... so we fell in love with this school and that is where Sophia will be attending. We are truly blessed that we can send Sophia to such a great school. We put down the deposit today so off to Brookfield she goes in September :-( my baby is growing up too fast!
