Hazel Wyatt Briggs, 88, of Germantown, TN passed away Monday, March 12 at Germantown Methodist Hospital. She was born December 23, 1923 in Milan, TN. We traveled to Memphis for the funeral over the weekend.

I tested for my black belt. The test was held at Young Masters in Woodstock. Seven judges oversaw the test including Master Dughe and Master Knuth.

This Christmas season I took Alexis out on a date to Barnes and Nobles. Alexis was first and then Rachel – both to the same place execpt on different days. Both girls purchased a book for their sister using a gift card they had earned from school. I also treated them to a Steamer (Alexis picked the peppermint flavor and Rachel chose caramel). I brought a peppermint Steamer home to Heather because she was kind enough to bring Rachel a stuffed animal at school. Apparently, Rachel forgot to do it for her assignment so mom bailed her out.
