Driver's Ed Driving Portion is Done ✅

T's driver's ed driving portion is done and his driving instructor had nothing but glowing things to say about his driving.  So proud of this kid.  

Kanki for Lunch....

T and Ari had so much fun at Kanki today.  They really enjoyed their meals.  T paid for his and Ari's meal.  It was his first semi-date with his girl.  He is growing up so fast.

 

Cryotherapy Session with Ari...

 T and Ari had a great time at Cryotherapy today.  T's before and after is phenomenal!  

Drivers Ed...Right of Passage Moment🥰

So this is happening today😱.  Can't believe in May we'll have another driver in the house.  He will have his permit.  Fun times.

Then and Now Pic + Drivers Ed Update + T has his 1st Girlfriend 😱

These pictures of T are from 4 years ago and last week. He has changed so much in 4 years time. He went from my little boy 👦 to young man 👨 just like that 🫰. 

And he starts the driving portion of Drivers Ed today. In May on his birthday he will be getting his drivers permit. It’s hard to believe that he’s already almost old enough to be driving. Our world is fixing to majorly change when he gets his license in 2024. 

Plus he officially now has his 1st girlfriend. They finally told one another how they feel about each other last night. She also does Taekwondo Sparring. She is just as dedicated to it as T is…LOL! They make the cutest couple 🥰.  

They will have their 1st chaperoned date at Kanki (it’s a Japanese Steak House) on Sunday for lunch. It’s one of T’s favorite places to eat at and he knows she’ll like it too because she loves sushi and they have that there😊. 

CORE Training-Fights Tonight…

Here’s some video I got at training tonight. 

Training Today….

Today was T’s first day back since he hurt his ribs and he’s looking really good. He’s somewhat rusty even though he fought well and won both his matches against his teammates. 

Ari made T a Cakie…

She made T a great big one in the shape of a heart but T ate some of it before I could get the pic. The other one with the icing was for Scot and myself. All I can think about is the old country song “She’s in Love With The Boy”…LOL🤣🤣🤣!

Car Update...

We are still waiting to hear from the insurance to get the medical/pain and suffering stuff moving.  So there's no movement on the car front until we can get that going and settled.  We are also trying to put additional funds back so that we can get into a car as soon as possible once everything is finalized.  We are continuing to pray for a settlement from all this that will cover the medical bills + put me into a new car + cover getting us a new trailer to put our carpet cleaning system into.  These are things that need to desperately happen.  Scot can't continue to miss projects because of having to take T to his scheduled stuff or me to scheduled stuff because we are down to one vehicle.  Right now that is what we are dealing with though.  It's frustrating for both of us but we don't have a choice right now.  Neither of us is going to put us into a situation where we are upside down financially so we will continue to deal as long as it takes in order to do what we need to do.  We know that God is our provider and He knows our needs and that everything will be done in His time.  Being patient in the waiting when work has to be missed in order to do stuff that also needs to be done is hard because when Scot is having to take T and I to stuff that is money that is missed but it can't be helped.  We live such busy lives and dealing with one car is going to be for a short period of time in the grand scheme of things and we have to keep telling ourselves that even though it's been difficult.  Everything will work out just the way it is supposed to.  God has got this just like He does everything that concerns us.  I will update you all just as soon as I have something to actually share.  Continue to pray in agreement with us for these needs that we currently have.  Thank you. 

Tusah....

Tusah has come out with a new more form fitting uniform that is crazy lightweight and arm and leg guards as well that breath better.  T is so looking forward to getting these and wearing them at tournaments.  If he really likes the arm and leg guards we may need to get two sets.  One to train in and one to wear at tournaments.  He's so excited.  Here's what they will look like.  They are called the EVO edition.  

You can wash the outter part and wipe down the inner part so that they don't smell.  That's a huge win!

The uniform has mesh so that it breaths better and the material is a moisture wicking material.  It's designed for advanced movement.  The material stretches for more flexibility.  As much as everyone was hating the idea of a more form fitting uniform they are all seeing the added benefits to having one now and the fighters are all loving them.  

To get all this will be a little over $300.00 but these are the new World Taekwondo standard.
