It’s a good read and a really positive move for the kids. 

US Open Update Yet Again

So we are now going to US Open in Las Vegas. We are prepping T for this event as much as we can in the time we have left before we have to travel for this event. I will be spending most of February in Charlotte as T trains with his coach for this event. By the time we go to US Open T will have had a total of 3 weeks of private training with his coach on top of team trainings. He has an event this weekend, next weekend, as well as an AAU Qualifier to attend in February before going to US Open. So to say we have a lot going on is an understatement. We covet your prayers as we finance everything. God is so good and always makes a way where there seems to be no way. So as God provides we continue to move forward and help our son live out his dreams. 

Please pray for our safety as we travel and as T trains and competes at SET in South Carolina (1/19), Tag Team Competition with World Sparring League(1/26), AAU Qualifier in Georgia(2/16), and US Open in Vegas(3/1). Please pray for T to stay healthy throughout all of this. He’s been overcoming what seems to be a cold so pray he recovers from it quickly. He needs every ounce of strength/energy for all he has to do in the weeks and months ahead. Pray for Scot and I to stay healthy as well throughout everything. Pray for strength for us as we help T do all he has to do to be the best that he can be. Pray for T and I as we balance getting his schooling done in the midst of everything. 

Such exciting times but also very busy times too. We wouldn’t have it any other way though. We love our boy and are so proud of everything he is doing in this sport he loves so much.

My Awesome Husband

My awesome hubby putting mats down so T can train on Bob the Bully and not loose his footing on the rug and fall. I knew those mats would come in handy again someday...LOL!  They used to be in T’s playroom before it became a kid cave.

A few More Pictures from T’s Training This Week

It’s been a really good training week for T. Looking forward to more training weeks as successful as this one was. Looking forward, Moving Forward!  

Training Today with Master Wasiu

T has had almost a week of training with his coach Master Wasiu. It’s been a really good week of training so far. T has been learning a ton and honing his skills more. So thankful for his team and coach. He’s loving every moment of his training. Life may be crazy but it is so good to see T improve daily as he trains more.  Enjoy the video T and I put together for you.  

Today’s Training

T had a really great training session today. He’s really starting to get the hang of doing what his coach wants him to do in his techniques. The pics I’m going to share are of him doing his drills more successfully than he’s ever done them. I love it when I get to see him getting it and successfully doing what his coach wants from him. His partner, David, didn’t like it so much though because he was at the receiving end of him doing his techniques correctly...LOL!
