A few weeks ago, my second foray into the martial arts came full circle. My daughter started studying Taekwondo again after more than five years away from the sport. It is actually Caity, who brought me back to martial arts in the summer of 2000. After my natural father passed away in July 1999, I went on a year-long fitness

I met my wife at my sister’s wedding in September 1995. I had known Tam as my little sister’s best friend for 10 years but I did not really see her as the woman she had become until this day in late September. I actually got to know her better because I was on wolf duty this day although it
Mano stepdad Ernestas C. Diaz vedęs mano motiną birželio 8, 1981. Tėtis ir mama dirbo įsitikinti, kad mes turėjo normalų šeimos gyvenimą. Į 1981 arba 1982, jie nusprendė imtis savo seseris ir mane į profesinės imtynių šou metu Checkerdome (taip pat žinomas kaip Arenoje). Populiariausi kovotojai buvo Von ERICHS. David Von Erich
Po mano mama ištekėjo už mano patėvis, Ernestas Diaz, į 1981, he was looking for a way for us to spend time together. Buvau kempingas su skautai, so Dad decided that camping would be an effective way for us to get to know each other. A friend of Dad’s owned property and a cabin in Greenville, MO. Mes
