T won Silver🥈

T did such a great job today. He fought well and did it all with shin splints. So incredibly proud of this kid right now. #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan

T Wins Match 2

T wins match 2 and fights in the finals. At a minimum he brings home silver. We are praying 🙏 he brings home the gold. The kid he fights next is like a foot taller than T. We sit and wait though. We couldn’t be more proud of how far T has come in this tournament. It’s the first big tournament where he has made it this far. This is a really big deal for T. So incredibly proud and excited for our boy. 

T Wins His 1st Match

T won his first match and will medal no matter what happens from this point forward. He has earned the right to represent at Grand Prix finals in November I think 🤔?!?!

Here’s T with his Master, Master Doug, right before the start of his first match. 

Beautiful Day

Beautiful day for fighting at the East Grand Prix. T is excited and looking forward to fighting and learning and growing in this sport. 

T’s Report Time & Bracket

T’s report time is highlighted and his name on his bracket is highlighted. He’s so excited about tomorrow. He may, for the first time ever, actually have the easier side of the bracket. That’s like never happened for him ever but he doesn’t know these boys either so he’s unsure of how good they are. I love this kids attitude right now though. It’s our prayer 🙏 that God gives him uncommon knowledge and strength as he fights tomorrow and he makes his way up his bracket to the gold medal round. Either we also pray he learns a lot at this event😊. 

Weigh In This Morning

T made weight easy this morning. He’s 2 pounds under. He’s exactly where we knew he would be when he weighed in. Of course he’s had two meals now. He had Dunkin Donuts after weigh in and Panda Express for lunch😊. He’s been hanging out with Chris all day. He’s so happy. 

Daytona Beach🏖

So excited to be in beautiful Daytona Beach. It’s been a long while since we’ve been down here. We have such a great view of the beach from our room😊. 

What The New Puzzle Will Look Like!

This is what the new puzzle will look like when we get done with it.  The border is all put together and now it's time to start getting other pieces put together on it.  

Daytona Travel Day!

Today we make the trip to Daytona.  Tomorrow T weighs in and Friday is fight day for T at the USA TaeKwonDo East Grand Prix with his new team and coach.  We are hoping and praying for the best for T.  He is feeling good and looking good.  He's taken some rest and recovery days leading up to this event.  We are really loving where T is at right now.  Pray for safe travels for us today.  Pray that we all have a good time and no one gets hurt/injuried.  Also pray that we remain healthy from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet.  We so covet your prayers.  God Bless!  #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan
