T ❤️’s Helping His Teammates…

Whether his teammates are older or younger matters not to T because he wants to help make them better. He so enjoys coaching. He will make a great coach some day. 

In this next picture this little boy in the red shirt reminds me so much of T. He really looks up to T too. T says, “I wanna make him a beast.”

New Promotional Pictures for Social Media

Since I'm at home more now I've been able to do more promotional type stuff for the business and making more posts on social media than we ever have.  Next I will be working on a once a month promotional pic that highlights discounts we will be doing for that month to email/text our client list.  Use to be that you sent out advertisements through mail but the new trend is to send it through social media, email, or text.  Since that is the direction that everyone responds to that is going to be our direction in how we advertise our business.  Here are a few of the recent pics I've posted for advertising the business and I'm working on more. 

Remaining Motivated...

T is remaining motivated and is eager to get back to full on training.  Starting Monday for the next two weeks he will ease back into full on training with his coach and team.  He has stayed engaged with his coach and team while recovering by helping out with training classes.  He has also stayed engaged by doing his body coach exercises.  It's not without work from his dad and myself that he remains motivated. We do our absolute best to keep him going and engaged when he is going through a recovery period.  It's easy to get lackadaisical during these times and lose interest but he's remained focused and kept moving forward in as much as he can while recovering.  The body coach has been a huge key to his recovery.  He's adjusted his workouts in order for him to be able to do something rather than nothing during this time.  This week he's done a ton of walking in the anticipation of getting back at it next week to see how his shins do.  He's been doing lots of exercises to strengthen his shins but he's also done a lot of core workouts.  Looking forward to seeing him back at it next week.  

Commercial Project Today...

Today the boys got to do a commercial project at the church where Scot and I met and eventually married. The church has went through a lot of changes over the years and doesn't even look like the same church as when we attended there.  The Senior Pastor who was pastor then has now stepped down and given his son the reigns as well.  The church is thriving under his leadership and he's been able to make so many amazing changes and forward progress with the church.  It was really awesome to be there and to see all the changes that have taken place.  It was great that they thought of us when it came time to clean the carpet as well.  Our integrity in our business speaks for itself and is why we get repeat clients time and again.  Even though we have gone down a different path with where we attend church we have always had the utmost respect for where God had us for more than 10 years at this church, Living Word Family Church, before He moved us on to where we are now.  

So many amazing changes.  The outside facade of the building has had a major facelift and looks fantastic.

The inside has had major changes too and looks amazing as you will see in the pictures below:

Children's Wing

These next pictures are all the foyer area from the side and front of the building.

The Faces of Our Business...

This will be the picture we will be using on our business social media pages as well as the front page of our business website.  It's great that T is at an age where he can be included and it truly will be family owned and operated not just Scot operating it.  Here's the picture I got of them together:

T’s Orthodontist Appt & My Dentist Appt.

T’s orthodontist appointment went great today. He chose a lighter color of band this time to switch it up a bit. 

I had to be seen at the dentist today. I have a fractured tooth that will need a crown done. The last crown and now this one have both been caused from my clinching and grinding my teeth when I sleep so after we get this tooth fixed we are going to be getting me the night guard that the dentist makes so we can avoid anymore mishaps that cost me having to do any more crowns. It is something I’ve been trying to get done for several years now but now it’s actually going to happen. Sad part is that all this eats into our budget for the new trailer. 

Pray 🙏!  Pray for large good paying projects so that we can do all that we need to do for me and for our company with the new trailer. Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers.  

T’s Hair…

T’s hair is getting so long on top. It looks so good. I’m really loving the change from crazy short to this style. Wasn’t sure I would like it at first but I really do like it. He’s such a handsome kid. 

Found A Trailer For The Business...

Our old trailer for the business is worn out.  It's showing it's age big time with lots of rust and the floor is wearing to the point to where Scot has had to reinforce some things the best he can underneath so that the floor doesn't drop out.  We are to the point where the rig is just not looking so good and it's falling apart in other places too and we don't want to look like the hacks that also do the same business such as ours that drive beat up stuff everywhere they go to do business.  How your business presents itself to the customer is important so we have been on a search for a new trailer to put our machine in.  We've found one that will work.  What we need will cost us anywhere from $5,000 to possibly $8,000. So now we save and hopefully by Labor Day we can save enough to buy a trailer to put everything into.  At least now we know what they are going for and that's a handy piece of information to have.  

Pray!!!  Pray for business to be steady.  Pray for large projects to book.  Pray that we are able to save over and beyond what we need to buy the trailer with because we will also need finances to Rhinoline the bottom of the inside of the trailer and up the side of the wall about 2 feet.  Plus we will need material to build a shelf for rugs.  We think we may have all the material we need to build a shelf for the rugs but just in case we want to have finances in place for that as well.  The Rhinolining is what we are in question about???  Not sure how much that will cost but it's a need so that water from the machine doesn't mess up the floor like it did with this trailer we have currently.   Also pray for the current trailer to hold up while we work to obtain what we need to replace what we have.  We covet your prayers and thank you for standing in agreement with us for what we need for our business.   God Bless you all!   

Memories...

It has been since 2017 that we started this journey in TaeKwonDo Sparring.  That was the year that T got to go spend a week in Canada training with Black Belt World Canada's Sparring Team which really jumped started T's interest in the sport in a major way.  T and his buddy Greyson had such a fantastic time there and we got to visit Niagara Falls while there which is where this picture was taken.  They were so little back then and now T is almost taller than me.  The time sure is flying by but we are cherishing and loving every moment of it.  Since this picture was taken Greyson is no longer doing TaeKwonDo.  He's pursuing other interests while T is continuing down this path with gusto.  He loves TaeKwonDo.  He really enjoys teaching it as well.  Looking forward to seeing just how far he goes with Master Doug as his Master now.  This was taken with the Black Belt World North Carolina crew.  Many have moved on from BBW now, including T, but this memory will always be cherished in our hearts.  It was such a great time with great people.  

 

T’s New Workout Bench

T’s body coach has him doing a lot of dumbbell workouts right now so we had to get him a workout bench. It’s new to him but we got it used. It looks brand new though. Love finding good deals on equipment that he needs.
