T loves his new USA training outfit. He wore it tonight during sparring training. He so enjoys sparring training. It's his favorite thing to do. Tonight after they were done he was trying to help a teammate learn a move that Master Wasiu taught him a long time ago. His teammate wasn't quite getting it but in time he will.
Welcome to our blog page. This is to keep you updated on how God is blessing us. It's also to have one spot where our family and friends can see what's going on in our lives. Most of the posts are of our son. Outside our relationship with God he is our world. Enjoy!

Drivers Ed...Right of Passage Moment🥰
Then and Now Pic + Drivers Ed Update + T has his 1st Girlfriend 😱
And he starts the driving portion of Drivers Ed today. In May on his birthday he will be getting his drivers permit. It’s hard to believe that he’s already almost old enough to be driving. Our world is fixing to majorly change when he gets his license in 2024.

Car Update...
We are still waiting to hear from the insurance to get the medical/pain and suffering stuff moving. So there's no movement on the car front until we can get that going and settled. We are also trying to put additional funds back so that we can get into a car as soon as possible once everything is finalized. We are continuing to pray for a settlement from all this that will cover the medical bills + put me into a new car + cover getting us a new trailer to put our carpet cleaning system into. These are things that need to desperately happen. Scot can't continue to miss projects because of having to take T to his scheduled stuff or me to scheduled stuff because we are down to one vehicle. Right now that is what we are dealing with though. It's frustrating for both of us but we don't have a choice right now. Neither of us is going to put us into a situation where we are upside down financially so we will continue to deal as long as it takes in order to do what we need to do. We know that God is our provider and He knows our needs and that everything will be done in His time. Being patient in the waiting when work has to be missed in order to do stuff that also needs to be done is hard because when Scot is having to take T and I to stuff that is money that is missed but it can't be helped. We live such busy lives and dealing with one car is going to be for a short period of time in the grand scheme of things and we have to keep telling ourselves that even though it's been difficult. Everything will work out just the way it is supposed to. God has got this just like He does everything that concerns us. I will update you all just as soon as I have something to actually share. Continue to pray in agreement with us for these needs that we currently have. Thank you.

Tusah....
Tusah has come out with a new more form fitting uniform that is crazy lightweight and arm and leg guards as well that breath better. T is so looking forward to getting these and wearing them at tournaments. If he really likes the arm and leg guards we may need to get two sets. One to train in and one to wear at tournaments. He's so excited. Here's what they will look like. They are called the EVO edition.
Good Luck....
T got Ari this before she went to team trials last week. It's something she can carry with her always when she goes to events and look at and read to encourage her before she fights.
Commercial Project on Monday...
T helped his dad on a commercial project on Monday and at the end they were waiting on a client to clear out of a room so that they could clean it. So this is a picture of T chilling on his phone giggling at who knows what....probably something Ari sent him. It was such a great picture that I wanted to share it here.
Valentine's Day Yesterday...
Sorry that I didn't make a Valentine's Day post. I normally do but we had a busy day. T got Ari (I was told to spell her name that way instead of the way I've been spelling it...LOL) an I Love Taekwondo bracelet and she loved it.

Made This For Arie for Tomorrows Fight Day....(Updated)
T really liked my making this in Canva for Arie for tomorrow's fight day. He wanted to give her some encouragement as she fights at Team Trials tomorrow. It's a pic of T and Arie from the NC Carolina Rumble that one of the moms from our team transformed into an artist rendition.
He made her another one too. He liked this one better.
