Missed phonecalls

19 August 2007 by kristarella

Don’t you hate when you miss a phone call that seems really important? You had no idea someone was going to call you and you left the volume turned down, or you left the phone in your bag where you didn’t have time to get it before the voicemail picked up. I guess it’s a […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
