T’s Cryo Therapy Session

T is loving these Cryo sessions. He begs us to take him back after he’s had a hard training. Which these days is at least twice a week. We are so thankful for their student discount.  Check out this video. 

Saturday's Cross Training....

T had lots of fun at training Saturday. He was a sweaty mess afterwards. We got some great pics with T's iPhone 13 Pro Max. That camera is amazing.

Thursday at Training…

T so enjoys working with the little ones at training. He helped run the deado electronic system too. 

Happy National Dog Day!!!

We love our Tucker Boy so much!  He’s such a talkative dog whose tail is always happy😊. He’s not just a pet. He’s family!   

Another Last Year vs This Year Moment...

Last year this time we hired a body coach for T after his stay in the hospital from his episode where he lost all the salt from his body.  We are so thankful for a friend who guided us to his body coach.  He has made such a huge difference in T.  Check this out:

 

Last Year vs This Year...

Here's a comparison pic from last year at the start of the school year to this year at the start of the school year.  So much change in just a years time.  He's went from looking like a boy to looking more like a man.  This momma is trying to be ok with all this change...LOL!! 

Back 2 School...

T won't technically be back to school until after Labor Day but he's already doing a lot of review math work to get himself prepared for the school year ahead. He's changed so much since last school year. He doesn't even look like the same kid.

New Hogu…

T’s new hogu fits him great and covers his back really good too. Love that he is protected all the way around now. 

Training Tonight…

T had such a great time training tonight. He really looks forward to it. Check out these pics. 

T’s 1st Cryo Therapy

T had his first Cryo therapy appointment today. He absolutely loved it and wants to do more sessions. Plus he got to do it with his buddy Braston. Next time I will have to do an interview type video of him doing it. This time we just got pics. I’m going to share links of what this therapy is about so you can read it for yourself. It’s really cool and I’ve been told from friends whose athletes do it that it’s been a game changer for them. We are gonna let T give it a whirl for 5 sessions because they give quite the deal for students😊.

T’s Buddy Braston’s BDay…

It’s T’s buddy Braston’s birthday 🎉🎂🎈🎊 today. He turns fourteen. Same age as T. He’s as tall as T dreams of being…LOL! 

Last Night at Training...

T had such a great time at training last night.  He is so incredibly happy right now.  He loves being at Core.  He really loves and respects his coach a great deal.  He talks to him.  He asks questions and gets clarification.  He never did this where he was before.  I'm loving this change so very much because I love seeing T really enjoying what he's doing.  Such a huge difference in him.  His dad and I shake our heads a lot wishing we had made this switch a long time ago.  His being this happy has been a game changer for him and for us.  Life is so much more pleasant.  We are loving being home and not traveling so much for training.  T is loving getting to work with his dad.  Life is just good.  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

T is Registered for Drivers Ed...

T is registered for drivers ed. Hoping he gets into the November or December virtual class. After that we'll be off to the races because next up is eye exam then the driving portion. This all could be a 6+ month process. It's hard to believe that our boy is old enough to do all this. This momma still isn't ready for all these changes...LOL!!!

Happy Birthday Popsie!

Happy Birthday 🎊🎂🎈🎉 Popsie!  I hope you have a great time celebrating 🥳 today. Can’t wait until we can come up to celebrate with you all at a later date. We love you to the moon and beyond Popsie. Hope your birthday is filled to overflowing with blessings. 

T Got to Learn...

T got to learn how to clean furniture on a job with his dad last week.  It was an elderly repeat client that we have had since T was a toddler.  Scot has always shown her pics of T because she always asks about his family.  She's such a very sweet lady.  Scot likes to use opportunities when we are in clients homes that we've had for years to let T get some hands on training and the clients don't mind either.  In fact this elderly lady gave T a $20 tip.  Scot just had to laugh because he brings T and T gets a tip and he doesn't get tips....LOL!  

 

T’s Physique…

T is really bulking up and all he’s doing is training push/clinch drills with his teammates at TaeKwonDo Sparring Training. This momma is so not ready for all these manly changes😱. 

Happy Son's Day to our Amazing Son, T!!!

To say we are proud of the kind of man our son in growing to be is an understatement.  He understands so much at the young age of 14 that I never understood at that age.  A good reason for that is because his dad and I never talked to him like a child either.  We have always explained things in terms he can understand but the understanding he was getting from us was beyond his years and always has been.  We have taken the time and energy it takes to help him be a good, godly, strong young man who has goals and sets goals then goes after those goals.  He's so knowledgable to be so young.  He asks questions and we do our best to answer his questions to a greater degree than most people would.  We see the importance, especially in the day and age we are living in now, of having him very knowledgeable about things so that he will not be a problem on society as he becomes a man but that he can contribute to our society in hopes that it will become a better society if more parents do what we are doing with their children.  Things only change if we make an effort with the next generation to make that change a reality.  T will definitely be a part of the group that works to make change as much as he possibly can with any influence he may have when he's grown.  He constantly amazes me everyday.  He is such an incredibly smart young man with a bright future ahead of him.  

As I think about this particular National Son's/Daughter's Day I can't help thinking about all that God has brought our boy through over the years.  The enemy has sought to snuff out his life twice.  Once when he had been exposed to strep throat that made him extremely ill with stomach issues.  He never tested positive for strep at all until he actually came down with the strep rash two months after the fact.  We went two months with him so sick all the time with diarrhea and throwing up. He was 6 years old at the time (March of 2015).  Our Peds doc had us finally take him to the ER because he had gotten to the point he wasn't able to keep anything at all down.  It was coming out one way or the other.  It was really awful.  The ER doc said it's just a stomach virus and go home and continue doing what you are doing.  I looked the ER doc square in the face and said my son isn't leaving here until you all figure out what is wrong with him.  So they admitted him.  The Peds floor doc found his issue quickly and told us that he had a severe bowl obstruction.  They then proceed to tell us that had we went home T would have been dead in two days time.  They were so thankful that I trusted my gut and had him admitted.  Anyhow, they flushed him out with 6 double doses of miralax in 6 8 oz bottles of gatorade.  He had to do that or have a feeding tube put in to give him all that.  T chose to drink it.  After they got him all flushed out the Peds GI on the floor gave us an appointment to be seen at his office and gave us a very strict diet for T.  This guy was fantastic.  He knew just what had happened with our son and guided us to exactly what we needed to do to get his gut going in the right direction.  That started a 5 year long very restricted diet for our son with no sugars, dairy or fried foods.  He absolutely hated it but he had to do it to get his gut right.  The Peds GI couldn't believe we actually adhered to the diet because most choose to medicate instead.  We wanted T off the meds.  After getting through all of that he was able to eat normal again.  That made him so happy.  

The second time the enemy tried to take his life was last summer.  He lost all the salt in his body from working out crazy hard getting ready for a tournament.  He wasn't putting enough salt back into his body to compensate for what he was losing in his workouts.  He went into a throwing up episode like nothing I had ever seen before.  We got him all cleaned up and laid him down to rest.  Next thing I know I'm hearing him sounding like he's choking.  I go in where he was resting and his eyes were rolling in the back of his head and he was seizing.  He couldn't understand me at all.  The EMS was called and they thought he was dehydrated and they gave him fluids which exasperated the issue.  The ER doc found his problem quickly and started pushing massive amounts of salt through his IV.  T was very combative every step of the way until he regained consciousness.  We had to make sure the docs knew that he was a TaeKwonDo fighter.  The docs appreciated being told that because that helped them know how to control him during his combative states.  The blessing in it all was that both docs took TaeKwonDo.  One was a National Champion in the 90's and the other takes TaeKwonDo classes with a Master that we know very well.  These docs did tests and an MRI brain scan to make sure there were no permanent damage and an EEG as well.  When T finally came to about 32 hours later talking normal asking us where he was and what happened we could breath a sigh of relief.  We had our boy back.  

When thinking of these two incidents in his life I am so incredibly thankful for how God has watched over him and saved him.  God's hand has been on this boys life like nothing I've ever seen.  These are just the two occasions where his life was trying to be snuffed out but there have been other times that weren't as critical times where we could see God's hand on him.  We tell him all the time that God's Plan is the Only Plan.  It's become the hashtag that I use a lot when making blog posts about him as well.  He has learned big time how God's hand has been on his life.  It has shaped his thinking very differently because of all he's been through.  He has really seen, for himself, how very real God is.  He's not just taking his dad and my or a preachers word for it because he's had his own experiences.  Most kids his age haven't had experiences such as he has had that have made God so much more real in his life but T really gets it.  

Having shared all that you can understand why I say that T is such an amazing and smart young man even beyond his years.  This kid has had big time real life experiences that have taught him a ton.  We love celebrating him any chance we get because of all that has happened.  He is loved so very deeply by his dad and I and the rest of the family.  They are always super impressed with him, as are we, when they get to spend time with him and have actual conversations with him.  We are looking forward to all that God has in store for his life as he becomes a man and lives his own life.  We know deep in the depth of our souls that God has saved him for a purpose.  That He has a plan for his life that has a greater purpose than even we can imagine. I pray and hope that we get to see that plan come to pass while still here on this earth.  None of us knows the day or hour that we will go to be with the Lord.  He and only He knows the number of hairs on our head.  He and only He knows our beginning from our end.  We trust in God, His Plan is the Only Plan!  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Happy Son's Day T!  You are amazingly and wonderfully made by our creator with a plan and purpose for your life!  You have been spared for such a time as this.  God knew you were going to be our son.  He knew everything that was going to happen in your life.  He knows all that is going to happen as well.  Trust in all that He has for you!  Follow His plan and purpose for your life always!  And hold tight onto the Lord always!   Your Dad and I love you to the moon and beyond!

Here's a little blurb that we shared on our company social media pages today along with a pic collage:

"We wanted to take a moment and wish our son, Timothy, a Happy Son's Day! He is a TaeKwonDo fighter. This last year has been a big overcoming year for him. One year ago at this time he had been in PICU from loosing all the salt in his body from training very hard for a tournament. After four days in PICU he walked out of the hospital and began his recovery process. After a 5 week rest period and getting his body where it needed to be he began training again. He had to miss all the major tournaments because of this incident. After this his training was very rigorous to get him back into condition. He loves the sport and has recovered and is moving forward. This year he won two state championships, finished second at a third state championship, and Silver medaled at a National Qualifier. He has been such an incredible help this summer with our business. It's been so nice having him on board and learning even more about the business."

T's Dentist Visit

T went for a teeth cleaning today and his teeth look so good.  He has a stye in his left eye though so he's a little miserable with that right now.  

Company Shirts are Here!

We received our company shirts today and we love them.  The print job looks fantastic.  

 

Arrial Shot of MTYC….

This is a beautiful aerial shot of the camp I grew up going to every single summer from youth through my teen years. 

T Enjoying Class...

T is so enjoying being back at class and training.  He was looking so sharp and fast tonight.  It's amazing how much better he's getting and how much he's changing now that he is growing up and maturing more.  He is going to be such a better fighter for it too.  Pic of T with Master Doug tonight😊.

Hairstyle…

T is missing his barber but he’s enjoying being back with Corissa too. She did his hair from the time he was 2 years old. She does fantastic work. With us being home now and not traveling to Charlotte T isn’t where he can go to his barber anymore. Still getting used to this kid changing his hairstyle.  He looks so different from how he used to look. 

Goats...

Yesterday T, Iris, and Tucker had fun with the goats from next door...LOL!  Life in the country.  Wouldn't trade it for anything.  

Quote from Video…

The is a quote from the video I shared in the prior post. 

“The best aren’t concerned with being the best. They’re concerned with being the best at getting better!”

This is Major…

This is an amazing video. The major part is in the middle of this video where they talk about our emotional banks being full. This is how coaches get athletes to always give their best and do their best because at the end of the day their emotional banks are still full. Ripping them apart all the time does not work.

T’s Home Workout 🏋️‍♀️

T did a ton of kicking this evening and I got these few clips of some of the kicks he was working on.  He’s getting sharper and faster. Love watching him working on his kicks. #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

Believe It!

Jer. 29:11 is one of my favorite verses.  It says, "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.  They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (NLT)  This is something Scot and I do our best to drive home with T on a continuous basis.  Gods plan is the only plan that matters at the end of the day and we tell T that all the time.  Above all else that he may do in his life we strive for him to have a relationship with God where he makes Gods plan the only plan in his life.  It's really all that matters.  #GodPlanistheOnlyPlan

 

New Company Shirts Are Ordered!

We ordered our new shirts yesterday through a company that we have done business with for other things.  We have a really great working relationship with them.  The company is called Mission Impossible Printing.  We are looking forward to when they come in and we are wearing them when we go on projects.  We are loving how the branding is coming along.  This has been a long time coming and we've needed to do this for simply years.  To have it all coming together for us has been exciting to say the least.  

New Business Cards....

We had to come up with new business cards to go with our new logo and branding.  We hadn't thought about branding and making a logo for the company until our friend made a logo for us and we loved it so much that we are putting it on everything for our business.  So the business cards we ordered a month or so ago are now going to be replaced with these when they come in.  Our friend Donna Allen came through for us once again with this design.  I just plugged in all the pertinent information.

Kukkiwon Expo 2022...

We were unable to attend this Expo this year because T was recovering from shin splints.  His Grand Master from his old school, Black Belt World, was a huge part of putting on this Expo.  The Kukkiwon President was in attendance as well as the Korean Demo Team who so many have seen live on TV.  Wishing we could have attended.  It is a rare occasion when all of the Lee Brothers are in one place together like this.  Grand Master Jun Lee is who has been T's Grand Master since he was 4 years old.  T hasn't seen he much in recent years at BBW because of his commitments with Kukkiwon.  T will always love him and have much respect for him.  I just wanted to share this picture here.  I did not take it or claim any rights to it.  You may have to click on it to see the picture in its entirety.  

So Today We Ordered Company Shirts...

So today we ordered company tshirts.  I can't wait for them to come in and for the boys to be wearing them when they go on jobs together.  Exciting times.  Making changes.  Doing what's necessary to move our company forward.  Making our company relevant on the web.  Things are happening but more slowly than I would like.  It will all come together though.  As it does I will be sure to post pictures of it.  

For now I will share a pic with you of the template we are using for social media for sharing client reviews.  We use this same basic design but change out the review each time.

The other template we are using is for creating ads to share on social media.  You will see the same basic design but each different one I make is promoting an area of our business.  For instance the pic I'm going to share with you now is promoting upholstery.  I write a comment to go with the picture when posting ads on social media sites.
