Always Something To Do!

We are in the process of getting our walls in our bedroom ready for paint. We have to do them a section at a time. We figured while everything was off the walls from our ceiling being fixed, plus we had the paint, why not paint the bedroom. It really needs it. Since this room will eventually be T’s when we do our master suite down stairs we are painting with that in mind😁. #neveradullmoment 

Another Tooth Bit The Dust!

T lost another of his back teeth on the 4th. It because loose so he yanked it right out then placed it with n my hand🙄. He was pretty proud of himself. He stuck a paper towel in his mouth to soak up the blood and just went on with his day. #lifewithaboy #neveradullmoment

Weekend Training!

T and his buddy Chris got to train with Coach Hershberger this weekend. It was good training and worth the time spent. Master Hershberger was very specific in his training this weekend. He worked on an area that T really needs work on . He is going to be doing a lot of fine tuning/drilling things with T from here in out. Fine tuning/drilling areas that really need addressing and where he is really weak.  Can’t wait for T to be able to do more training with this coach. Both of his coaches bring something different to the table and they are so very complimentary to what the other coach is doing. In the end it will make T a well rounded fighter. We are so thankful that T has two fantastic coaches. I love the different ways that both his coaches coach. It’s really great to watch and so beneficial for T. 

As we drove to Coach Hershberger for training this weekend we saw this:

We saw so many rainbows every time that we drove to train when GMaster Cann was still alive and even after she passed. Each time we have seen these the training sessions have been fantastic and this weekend kept the trend going. I love how God puts beautiful rainbows in the sky for us to see. It’s always a reminder of so many things for me. And each time we see one without fail something good always happens. It could be a small thing or big thing but it’s always a good thing. 

The rainbow always reminds me of God’s blessings to us and when I see one it  keeps me in awe of Him. I love how gracious and good God is to us even when we don’t deserve it. The beauty he surrounds us with just shows what a magnificent God He is!  My love for God far surpasses any love I feel for anything/anyone in my life. I love the people in my life immensely so you can only imagine how much more immensely I love God!!!  

I shared what I did above in order to share this...God has orchestrated every step we’ve taken with T on his TKD Sparring Journey. T has great coaches (Master Wasiu and Master Hershberger) because of how God brought the right relationships into our lives for the benefit of T accomplishing his goals with TKD.  We are so thankful for all God has done and is doing in T’s young life to help him grow into an amazing young man. He still has lots to learn but I love his open heart and willingness to learn even through the frustrations that life has thrown his way. 

He still trains everyday even though there’s no tournaments in sight for him. He wants to be ready for when competitions resume once things open up from this pandemic. 

While we are waiting and training he’s growing. Literally growing. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. He’s becoming a man before our eyes😳. We are having to buy new clothes because he’s growing out of what he has. Clothes for an athlete are expensive because they generally wear one of two brands Adidas or Under Armour. Beyond the physical is mental and emotional growth. He’s acting more like a man but still there’s the kid we’ve known still there. He’s transitioning and it’s as it should be. They are only with us for a short time then when they are grown we just hope and pray that we’ve taught them well and that they will make a positive impact in the world. That they will be a blessing and that they please God in all they do and say. 

Keep us in your prayers. We are doing all we can to be safe during this time but we are also ready to move beyond all this and for things to get back to normal. God Bless!

House is done!

It’s been a whirlwind of things going on and I honestly can’t remember if I posted but the house is finally completed. The repairs from the water damage are all taken care of and the house is buttoned back up. We are pleased with everything and are so happy to be on the other side of everything that happened with the roofing fiasco. Now to get everything back in its place and be able to decorate for Christmas😁. 

Yesterday’s Repairs...

Yesterday the dry wall guy showed up to fix the ceiling in our master bedroom that got damaged when they were putting insulation in. While here he painted the ceilings in the dinning room and living room. He painted the trim work as well. Now he comes back today to paint our master bedroom ceiling and to paint around our back door. Then the repairs will finally be all done🙌👏!!!  

Things are coming along...

Got T’s room back together and now we’re taking ours apart. When the repair guys were putting insulation back in our crawl spaces above our rooms they came through the ceiling in our bedroom🤦🏻‍♀️. Here’s a couple of pics of T’s room now that it’s back together and him in his own bed for the first time in a few weeks.  Then there’s one of the new ceiling damage that happened earlier today🤦🏻‍♀️.  The repair guys come to fix that tomorrow. We are getting closer to things being done though. Now if we can keep them from doing anymore damage we’ll be all good...LOL!

Pics from AAU Virtual Nationals 2020 - Forms

Here’s some pics I got from today. 

AAU TKD Virtual Nationals 2020 - Forms

This is the video that won T Bronze for Forms at the AAU Virtual Nationals 2020!  He learned a lot watching the Silver and Gold medalist and now knows where he needs to make improvements for next years competition. We were all impressed watching them all compete. Competition was tough but we are proud of T for doing so well when Forms is not what he loves most. T is really looking forward to the day when things fully open back up and he will be able to compete in sparring again!!!  #AAUTKDVirtualNationals2020 #BronzeMedalist

Trim Work Is Done

All the trim work is done. Next up will be painting and insulation. 

Repairs Are Coming Along

The drywall guy was in today and got a ton done. There is no longer a hole in our living room ceiling. The back door is dry walled and insulated and now ready for the new trim and paint. T’s bedroom is ready for paint so we can put it back together. Lots of paint going to be going on.
