So..........the word is Japan! After being in the orders window for several months, and going a few rounds with the detailer, we've finally heard the word and it sounds like...........Japan! Won't that be fun?!! Right? That was the jist of the conversation Mark and I had. Something like "Gee, I hadn't really thought about it, but I'm sure it will be great and won't it be nice to get out and see all kinds of new places over there ......and we've heard only good things and you and Max can get back into Judo....won't that be fun?"
You might think the appropriate follow on would be........"Sure! That sounds great."
Nope (Have you met Mark) this is what I get. "I could actually earn some extra money pride fighting over there......there is always a crowd for a big white guy."
At this point, I'm just speechless. Isn't there an age limit on this kind of fantasy? I get it that Mark is pretty tough, and I get that he can somehow settle some of his supervisory (work-related) issues with a friendly throw-down.......... but at some point don't reasonable people draw the line at a UFC cage?
I'm guessing he's not serious ........(I'm choosing that he's not) and didn't dignify it with a response. But if it comes down to my having to actually say no, it would sound something like this..........."I don't think Heavenly Father would want you to cage-fight for entertainment, dear."

HAHAHA Kate, that was funny. I don't think my response to Nathan would be so...how can I say it...loving? I really enjoyed talking with you today!
That is great! Mark is the best, and I have a feeling it is going to come down to you saying NO!
I oddly think the whole cage fighting thing is not-so-bad. Only because Jaxon wants to do it too and Im stuck watching Ultimate Fighter every wed night. Let him get the crap kicked out of him and then you wont have to say anything at all because your the 'supportive' wife who let him do it and he just decides he's too old or something!! Besides that I love your blog and I love that your a great updater!
