Guest Bedroom Light

Our bedrooms were not built with overhead lighting so Scot put a light in that will work by a light switch for our guests coming into the guest bedroom until they can turn on a lamp. 

Bedroom Fixer Upper

T and I moved the furniture around a bunch before settling on where it landed. We needed to make sure a walker would fit in the space. A mirror was hung by Scot as well as the tv mounted to the wall. We were able to get an arm chair cheap for mom to have in the room as well. Scot’s gotta clean it up first. Check out the difference:

Walkway for Momma

Making a walk way for my mom to get into the house with her walker after hip surgery. Such a great job by my amazing husband!!!  Next we will be doing a handrail for the front porch. The old one deteriorated. But that will be at some point this week because it will be raining tomorrow. 

Update on T

Doctor said T is fine. That he is taxing his lungs after having been sick/allergies. Just like I said and thought. T just has to not push as hard when training for a while although they still want him to rest for like 5 days anyhow. Well, Monday will be day 5 and he’ll be back to training😊.

It’s Been A Day🙄

Our boy has went from having the “Vid” at Christmas break, that lasted  21 days, to catching a bad cold while at the USAT Eastern Academy Training Camp, that  lasted about 14 days, to having really bad allergies for the last two weeks now. The doctor said allergies are crazy bad right now. He’s been through the ringer. Although his lungs look good and are clear he’s crazy tender and hurting. Of course they assured us the inflammation he’s experiencing is normal with all he’s been through. They have him on pain meds for that. To be safe, though, they want him to see a cardiologist and don’t want him training until he’s cleared by them. The story of the challenges of my life right now🤦🏻‍♀️.   All this happened today while Scot was home with T and I was at pre-op appointments with my mom for her hip replacement surgery coming up🙄.  Craziness I tell ya🤪. 

Training Tonight at Core TKD

Here’s a video of T training with Master Doug at Core tonight. 

A Boy and His Dog

Such a beautiful day today that we spent some time outside this afternoon before we headed into town to get our regular adjustment at the chiropractor. 

AAU Virginia State Championship Match 1 Video

T demolished his first opponent. Felt kinda sorry for the kid. He really shouldn’t have been doing that competition.

AAU Virginia State Championship Match 2

This is the gold medal match. CJ won gold T got Silver. 

AAU Virginia State Championship 2022

Today at AAU Virginia State Championship T won Silver🥈. His first fight was a point gap win of 38-4. Second fight was the gold/silver round and T fought an incredible young man he’s fought before. Last time they fought the opponent beat T 22-0. T couldn’t score any points on him. This time T fought him better even though he still won with a 22-9 score. This particular young man helps push T to be better. Much respect👊. T has such great coaches. Much thanks to Master Douglas who helped train and coach T for the fights today. A huge thanks also goes out to Master Wasiu as well because he pours so much time into training and coaching our son too. Much respect to both Masters👊.  There are so many others to thank that help T in other ways as well that contribute to what he does in this sport. Much respect to you all as well👊.

We are so proud of all T is accomplishing as he continues to move forward in this sport. We enjoy every competition with him. Being an elite competitor doesn’t last forever though so we enjoy every moment with him as he makes great memories. Whenever he decides he’s done and wants to move on to doing other things then we’ll move on. Until then we enjoy the journey he’s on with this sport. It’s been one heck of a fun and crazy busy ride so far even though the “vid” has made it harder to do this sport. 

We will post pics and videos as soon as I can get them all uploaded. 

Fight Day - AAU Virginia State Championship

T is ready for fight day. 

T’s New Running Shoes

T’s feet are growing so much. He’s now in a size 8 mens. We had to get him new running shoes to workout in. 

Van Back on the Road Again

Scot did such an amazing job getting the van fixed. It was a lot to get done. It is functional now and that’s all that matters. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the black bumper looks too.
