God's Handiwork...
Just Because you fit in...
Dream Home....
I have all kinds of ideas for a dream home but this is probably my favorite style of home:
Happy St. Patrick's Day (3/17/2024)...
Our family heritage has some Irish in it so we wanted to make sure that we didn't let the holiday get by without wishing our friends and family a very Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Member of the Month...
Tim is member of the month where he trains with weightlifting at Athletic Lab. We couldn't be more proud of him. Ever since he switched to weightlifting in August of 2023 he has been 100% all in with it. He absolutely loves what he is doing now and his coach is amazing. They have connected in a way that Tim never has with any other coach that he has had throughout the years. His coach really listens to him and is really helping him accomplish his goals with weightlifting. Tim is the happiest that we have ever seen him and he keeps making huge gains in his training and in the Meets that he's done since switching to this sport. His PR's at the gym are currently 70kg Snatch & 90kg Clean and Jerk = 160kg Total. Here's what the gym posted online that we wanted to share with you here.

National Son's Day Monday....(3/4/2024)
To say we are proud of Tim is an understatement. He's had so much to deal with in his young life. Twice the devil tried to kill him but God! He's a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. He's an A/B student. Mostly A's though. He's gotten back into playing the guitar again. He does Olympic Weightlifting. He helps out his dad whenever he can with our family business. Plus he loves his family with all his heart. He's such a great young man with such a great heart. We couldn't have asked for better son. So Happy National Son's Day Tim. Keep going hard after your dreams keeping God first and foremost in your life! Your dad and I love you so so much!
Kentucky Trip Last Weekend...
We went up to Kentucky last weekend to see Pop and Nan, especially Pop though. He has had medical challenges recently and we just wanted to spend time with him. Some days are good and others aren't. It's understandable at his age though. His body can't do what it used to and I'm sure its extremely frustrating for him. It would be for anyone in his shoes. We all love him so much. He and Nan are the center of the Neal family.
Tim drove 2 1/2 hours of the trip in the rain. He did so good driving in the rain. I was glad that he had the chance to drive in adverse weather conditions before he goes for his level 2 license in May.
While up in Kentucky Tim's cousins, my niece, and her family got a new puppy that they have named Deano. He is the cutest little thing but he won't stay little for long. He's a golden retriever.
We've been trying our best to make it to Kentucky at least once a month and sometimes twice a month if we can. It's been a lot of traveling for us but we don't want to have any regrets about not having spent time with Scot's parents when their time comes to go be with Jesus. Here are some pictures that I took on our trip this time:

Playing His Guitar...
Tim has been playing his guitar again recently. I love that he has picked it back up. He said now that he has the time to be able to play that he wants to play more and get better at playing his guitar. It's been so long since I've heard him play and I'm so glad that he's been able to pick up right where he left off. Tucker and I have been enjoying listening to him play and I got a picture of him playing the other day.
Tim's Lifts from last nights Training...
Here are the videos of Tim's lifts last night. The first one is a Snatch + Hang Snatch Above Knee with 60kg/132#. The second one is a 110kg/242# Back Squat. Enjoy!
