Training in Matthews Time Again

T and I leave on Friday for Matthews and won't return home until the 25th or 26th.  Time to get some more training time in so that he can hopefully compete at the Empire State Championship 4.0 even and NJ Championship 10.0 event.  NJ 10.0 event is an event that earns the gold medalist 100 points + strength factor points.  So if 60 kids sign up (it more than likely won't be near that many) in T's division it could earn the gold medalist 160 points and of course it trickles down depending on where the opponents land in the rankings from the event.  Even the kid who gets last place stands a good chance at earning some really good ranking points at this event.  It's worth it for T to compete at it.  But for now we are concentrating on training and getting better.  Focusing on fixing what needs fixing and then hopefully doing battle at the tournaments and seeing how he does.  Nationals is just around the corner.  The 10.0 event will be T's last event before Nationals.  Life sure is crazy busy but it's a good busy.

I'm thankful today for all the moments we have had with our son.  The good and the bad.  You never know when it will be your last shared moment and we make it a point to cherish all the moments we have together.  We are never promised tomorrow.  So live for today and make sure you make it count and make sure those you love know that you love them.  Until next time.....
