Fresh Haircut

T got a fresh haircut earlier today. 

Made Weight for USAT SC

T made weight and is now ready to eat some dinner. Lots of driving today. We are all hungry...LOL! 

On the Road Again Tomorrow

Tomorrow we hit the road heading to SC for the USAT SC Championship. T is excited to be competing. This past week T and I have worked out together. He ran while I speed walked. Here’s a pic of us after our workout earlier this week. 

Water Heater Update

The new water heater is in place. The water really gets hot now. It was nice to finally take a nice hot shower at home and not have to go over to my moms house to take a shower. Scot is such a trooper. He has had a very full work week on top of replacing the water heater. He takes everything in stride and keeps on going. Such an amazing husband and father. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. We love him so much and thank God for blessing us with him everyday. And we have been very thankful to have hot water again. Life is good!!!  

Water Heater

Well our water heater finally bit the dust. We started noticing issues with it back in December and Scot limped it along until it finally said I’m done yesterday. Now Scot replaces it. We went looking at replacements tonight and thought we were going to have a huge ordeal in replacing it but we found what we need to fit where we want it to fit. That was a huge blessing. And it was cheaper than what we thought we were going to have to pay for a new unit. It should be a quick switch out once Scot is able to make the time to put it in. Never a dull moment. 

USAT SC This Weekend

T has been doing a lot of focusing on school, training, and watching motivational videos for his mental game. Always pushing forward. T has four competitors in his bracket so far for this weekend. One of which got bronze like him last weekend and is coming to SC because he thinks he can win and beat T. T needs to make sure he doesn’t have a chance in hades of doing that. It’s going to be game on this weekend at the tournament because both boys want those gold medal ranking points. 

More USAT Virginia 2019 Pictures

Coach Dre did a great job with T. 

T got several headshots on this opponent. 









Got this picture today with Master Wasiu after team training. Master Wasiu is pleased with T’s fighting. He’s seeing improvements in his fighting and that means more to T than winning a medal any day of the week. T always strives to improve and get better. He wants to be the best he can be in this sport and he continues to train and do his best. 

USAT Virginia 2019 is in the Books

T brings home Bronze today. He did a good job. Fought well and he learned a lot. 

He had 8 in his bracket. He won his first round and lost his second round. At least the person he lost to won gold so that softened the blow of loosing a little. He’s so competitive though so it’s never easy for him to be happy with any medal other than gold. We put things into perspective for him though because 4 of the boys in his bracket went home with no medal today. Looking at the tourney in that point of view helped him see that he had a good day. 

Daedo Gear Probs

So we found out that the extra Daedo gear that they ordered to host this tournament didn’t get here in time so we are dealing with only one ring with the electronic gear. We may have to go get some dinner and bring it back cause we’re going to be here a while. Insert sad face here.
