2017 Year End Thoughts as we go into 2018

2017 has been filled with lots of changes for us as a family unit mostly because of Timothy's training schedule.  He earned his 1st Dan black belt in December of 2016 and that brought about a chain of events in 2017 to where we are today.  He's accomplished so much in 2017.  2017 he won a Gold Medal for State Championships, He won two triple tag team cups with his buddies Enzo and Greyson, he won all around champion with 3 gold medals then the grand champion title with a big gold cup at Kukkiwon Cup, he turned around a week later and got a bronze medal for his poomsae and a silver in sparring at the Mid-Atlantic Tournament, and he got to go to Canada to train with some really amazing Olympians.  He's advanced a lot in his guitar playing this year.  He's learned to ride a dirt bike in a short period of time.  He advanced to his 2nd Dan black belt in December.  He's had quite the year in 2017, and I'm sure I've left some things out, but he's looking forward to all that 2018 holds in store for him as he trains harder than he ever has before so that he can gold at State again and advance to the Nationals which will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He's training hard so that he can come home with a medal at Nationals too.  To say we are proud of this kid doesn't even begin to express how deeply we feel about all his accomplishments thus far in his young life.  This kid is going places and doing things.  He's gonna be a force in this world.  He is gonna be a leader and not a follower.   The road ahead of him is great and he's gonna do great and amazing things with his life.  He's gonna honor God in all that he does because he has such a heart for the Lord.  Go Team inTIMidator in 2018!!!  This is gonna be a great year!!!
