Today is actually a pretty significant date to both Snickers and I. It's an important date that resulted from one chilled-out date five years ago so today I curiously checked on my homepage to see how I had spent this particular day for the past five years. The importance of this particular day all stemmed from a run-in with someone at my former boxing club. As it turns out, all but one of these May 14th were spent either at the boxing club or doing something with the boxing club. Boxing IS my life so is it any surprise really?!
Occasionally, I look back at specific dates on my homepage; it's interesting to note where I was, what I was doing and my thoughts that I had shared publicly here. Having said that, I thought I'd share bits and pieces of what I wrote on this particular day each year. So here it is, a little recap backwards year-by-year leading you back to why today is very special to us.
May 14, 2012 -- Good Things Come to Those who Train
Am convinced though that despite how tired and mentally, physically exhausted I come home as being, if I can just get myself out to the boxing club for training it makes everything right. Nothing is quite like working up a good sweat.
Feeling sick?!... sweat it out.
Feeling down in the dumps?!... work it out.
Feeling tired?!... soak up the energy at training.
Feeling good?!... share it at training.
Sometimes I'm convinced that if my teammates knew just how much I adore and feed off their awesome energy, Junior Mint would seriously have to make double doors for their inflated egos to enter the club. I've got a solid, solid crew of teammates I train with.
May 14, 2011 -- Bear Bites Bear
As you know, the other day a surprise wedding ceremony was held for Snickers and I, well today I scored yet another surprise when Snickers rolled over and told me he had taken today off. "We're going on a mini honeymoon" he told me, "and it's a beautiful place that is a mix of a favorite place of yours plus luxury and exoticness!" And it was exactly like he had said it'd be. He took me to Bear Tree, a tucked-away gem of a place here in Cheonan that I had never heard of.
May 14, 2010 -- UP Boxing Club Dinner Party
I had to rush off to the boxing club dinner party. I had just enough time to rush home and wash my face before Snickers swung by to pick me up. I wanted nothing more than to stay home and nurse my haywire allergies, or whatever the heck is going on with my nose and throat these days, but I had promised I’d at least swing by the party to say hi. Swinging by the party was good in that I got to see some of my favorite boxing boys (my teammates) and I got to see Motor Cross’ new super cute hair cut. However, it wasn’t so good in that a long-time-no-see sponsor of our boxing club took note of me being minus Q and asked “Where’s your boyfriend Amy?”
The last dinner party Snickers and I both attended Q also attended, so I could see why this particular somewhat wouldn’t have noticed anything last time. But tonight, when he asked me where my boyfriend was, he was certainly shocked when I turned and said, “I don’t have a boyfriend. This is my husband.” He insisted I was joking, so he went around the table asking my teammates if I seriously had a husband. Snickers found it amusing but I felt so uncomfortable. It wasn’t until later, when we were out the door, that this same person came up to us and apologized. There really was no need to apologize. I knew he had meant no harm and considering everything, I understood where he was coming from. Nonetheless, it was still awkward.
May 14, 2009 -- Us Both Training for Upcoming Fights
Junior Mint killed me today at training… seriously. Training today took about two and a half hours!!!
Today’s training:
30 minutes of skipping
5 rounds of shadow boxing
6 rounds of pad work with Junior Mint in the ring
8 rounds of heavy/sand bag work
3 rounds of shadow boxing
10 minutes of skipping
10 minutes of ab work
Spilled my beans to Junior Mint today… “you know how I mentioned to you that I’m dating someone, well, that someone is someone you know.” I told him and, needless to say, my comment was followed by a million questions from Junior Mint. I told him who I was talking about, not before I made him pinky swear over it though… hahaha. Both Snickers and I agreed that we should keep this relatively on the low at the boxing club because of various reasons, him having an upcoming fight and many members not knowing about Q and my split is just the few. Snickers’ coach is all “anti-girlfriend” towards Snickers and so we’re waiting till after his fight to tell his coach. In June/July, Snickers’ coach will be opening up his own boxing club here in Cheonan and so Snickers will be training and working there. We figure this will be the appropriate time to make our little announcement.
As strange as it sounds, I can’t stand the way my face looks now. This past week my body has really changed a lot, my face included. I no longer have my cute cheeks but instead have quite a slender face that’s makes me look somewhat older now. I miss my cheeks.
Later in the evening Snickers came over and we laid on the floor talking. Tomorrow he'll be officially entering the 10-day pre-game stretch and so we talked a lot about that. He has to be 63.5kgs for his fight. Last week he lost an astonishing 3kgs; he's got 4kgs to go. He's super confident about his fight though and so we giggled the hours away chatting and joking…
… and then he kissed me. Today marks Day One.
So there you have it. Today, May 14th, 2013, marks the fifth year anniversary of our first kiss and how did we spend it, you ask. We spent it at our boxing club, training together and then training others.
