Braces Here We Come!

T went in for his consultation today and will have his braces put on Wednesday. He’ll be there for two hours to get them put on for the tune of around $5,800 and some change. So thankful for payment plans for those things. The practice we chose is a Christ centered practice. If we’ve got to get this done we are glad it’s with fellow followers of Christ. Here’s a picture of what his smile looks like now. I’ll post a pic on Wednesday after he gets the braces on. 

Pilot Mountain Update 2

This was posted 9 hours ago. Praying 🙏 they get this under control asap!

Pilot Mountain Update

Pilot Mountain has around 60 acres or so burning. We saw this as we passed through last night heading home from Kentucky. Seeing it live was surreal and the way it was glowing in the dark from the fire. Here’s a pic that was posted on Facebook of it. It got out of control fast because of the wind.  

Pilot Mountain

Fixing to have to drive through that area in about an half hour. Wonder what we will see when we do???

This is the pic that we got from the hwy. It’s not a great pic but the best I could get if it. 

Beautiful 😍

Saw this in Tamarack while making a potty stop as we drive home. We are about 15 minutes outside of Wytheville now. 

My Guy’s😊🥰😍

One Handsome Buck!!!

Saw this tonight driving onto my sister in law’s property. 8 point Buck. 

Thanksgiving Yesterday

We had so much fun yesterday with the family. We were only missing one couple from our clan who couldn’t be here. Here’s some pictures for you to enjoy. 

Dentist Today with T

Got the news from the dentist today. T will be getting braces soon. We’ve gotta get the consult done with the orthodontist after the Thanksgiving holiday and then go from there.

Aging Sucks!!!

This past week when I went to the eye doctor after having five days of issues with my right eye I found out that I have this going on with my right eye:  https://www.eugeneeyecare.com/conditions-vitreous-detachment-floaters/. I was told that in 6 months or so that my left eye should go through this too. Joy! Joy!  I understand it is a natural course of things as you age but it still sucks!!!  It’s really bothersome and giving me headaches at times. I had some burning too but the eye doctor assured everything I was experiencing was totally normal. I’m so very thankful that the burning is not constant and neither is the headaches. The floaters are though. It’s exciting to know that they will settle in the bottom of the eye and not be as bothersome at some point. 

A Great Honor Was Bestowed!

-BREAKING NEWS-

(Mar a Lago, Florida, USA)Today, November 19, 2021, at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a ceremony was held at four p.m. where the former president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, received his own ninth-degree honorary black belt. Proudly awarded by Kukkiwon President Grand Master Dr. Lee Dong Sup, who traveled from South Korea, former President Trump was grateful for earning a highly respected title in Taekwondo. Former President Trump has been a passionate supporter of Taekwondo martial arts, and at the promotional ceremony, he spoke about how honored he is to receive this high-level recognition. Furthermore, at the ceremony, he spoke of the importance of learning self-defense, and he also discussed the benefits of Taekwondo values regarding guiding and mentoring. Former President Trump believes that Taekwondo is a dignified martial art for training self-defense and achieving exemplary discipline. He emphasized these values when he acknowledged reviving the lost values through Taekwondo training, and he is hoping Taekwondo can contribute to the American people through Taekwondo teaching. 

In addition to reviving Taekwondo values, former President Trump hopes to have the Kukkiwon Demo team visit him soon. President Trump appreciates President Grand Master Dr. Lee Dong sup for this prestigious recognition, and he is looking forward to Taekwondo benefiting the people of the United States.

This event was monumental because it was the first time President Dr. Lee Dong Sup traveled outside Korea to attend a special ceremony and recognize an individual.

(Kukkiwon President Grand Master Dr Lee Dong Sup is working hard to POSITION Kukkiwon Taekwondo to the center for the humanities regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, or political viewpoints…Kukkiwon honors all who support TaeKwonDo.)

T loved seeing this post from his Grand Master, Grand Master Jun Lee this morning. He appreciates every time he sees anyone who supports TaeKwonDo honored. T loves this sport so much!!!

I love apps that allow me to make pictures like this.   

November 11th Our 15th Wedding Anniversary

 As I was looking at our blog I realized I didn't do an Anniversary blog.  So much of our world is tied up in our son that we get busy with him.  Even though we didn't forget about our anniversary it was spent at home because T was having major sinus issues and we were being safe with his health.  Staying in seemed the right thing to do all around.  

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 16 years since Scot and I met and started dating.  Our friend, Lisa Young (who is no longer with us), helped jump start us both, when she had us to her house for dinner...LOL! We dated for less than a year.  We were engaged by September and married by November.  It was a whirlwind of a year the year we got married but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  Scot is my best friend and the love of my life.  He was so worth the wait!!!  

Here are some memories from our wedding that I was enjoying looking through recently and I hope you enjoy them too. 

My niece and I.  She's all grown and in college now.

Mrs. Judy (who is no longer with us) helping everyone sign in. 

Scot's Parents

Scot and his best friend Charles

My brother, Calvin, gave me away since our dad is no longer with us.

Pastor Don Pollard officiated the service for us.

Becky (who is no longer with us), checking out my rings.  It's something we ladies do. 

Such great friends attended our wedding and these are just a few of the pictures I have from that day.  Such great memories that we cherish just as we cherish one another and our friends and families as well.  Those no longer with us hold a very special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten.  

Life has had it's up and downs but there's no one I'd rather have by my side to do life with than my husband.  He's a gift from the Lord above and one I'm grateful for everyday.  I'm thankful that I get to fall in love with him more and more as we grow in this life together even with all of it's ups and downs.  We face the hard and difficult times together.  We face the good times together.  There's nothing we can't face as long as we do it together because we know who's we are.  We are children of the Most High!  With Him at the center of our marriage we can face anything!  God is our everything and we wouldn't want it any other way!
