Update on things with Us!

T is getting back into full on sparring training. Right now that’s only happening one time a week with his team. All his other training is on Zoom. 

T is also going back to his regular TaeKwonDo classes to keep up his belt requirements. There are some days he still does this online too. 

Much remains to be seen with the change of power fixing to take place. We could all be going back to square one again if the new administration has their way. So we have to just wait and see what the remainder of this year will look like in regards to sparing. 

AAU is having a virtual winter nationals through zoom  for forms and breaking so T is going to participate in that like he did the AAU Virtual Nationals in October with doing his forms. It at least gives him an opportunity to compete even though it’s not sparring. To be a fighter he generally does pretty good in forms. He medals most of the time even though he really doesn’t like competing in forms. He’d much rather be fighting.  

The Osgood-Schlatters is not hurting T as bad as it was. The laser therapy, stretching, and resting his knees have helped a great deal. He’s getting back into full on training now though so we manage the pain as best we can so he can keep moving forward with his goals. 

At the beginning of the year we hit a little lull in work. We expected this. It happens every year after Christmas. We’re still having some bookings though which has been good. Things generally pick up from here but much remains to be seen with that because Biden plans to target white male owned companies which has the potential to hit us hard by him doing that but hey this is what everyone wanted right😡🤬. By most people voting for that man they voted against my husband being able to make a profitable living😡. Most people don’t see nor get how what he plans to do effects business owners, especially white male business owners. But that’s enough of that. I’m not here to talk politics but to give an update on things with us. 

Back in November I contracted a parasite called Giardia. It is a parasite that can cause GI issues. Most people get it and never know they had it. I got it though and my GI system has been in a topsy turvy ever since. One of the big things is that it can take several months for me to be able to eat regularly again. I’ve had to be on a strict diet with no dairy or high fatty foods. I’ve lost 15 pounds since this happened. Not for any other reason than all the diarrhea it’s caused. Not the best way to lose weight. So everything with my digestive system is going to be a process for a while going forward. 

Other than what I’ve been dealing with we have all been fine and healthy. We had a good Christmas even though it was spent at home because everyone is being extra careful because of COVID. 

Even though the pandemic has been unwelcomed we have really enjoyed having the extra time as a family. We’ve also been able to tackle projects that have needed doing around the house and on our property. Life must go on though and this too shall pass. 

Everyday I’m thankful that our hope is in Jesus Christ and Him alone. Even though things look dark now, because of all our country is going through, I’m just thankful God is on our side and that He will see us through. Because regardless in the end we win!!!
