Homeschool Year 2024-2025

Biology is done ✅ & Geometry is done ✅ + we will be done with EOG's soon! 2 years of schoolwork in a little more than a years time! Whew! I'm gonna have him finish up what he has left after taking a small break for training/USAW Nationals. Was hoping to be done with school for the year two weeks ago but life happens and things sometimes take longer than we would like. Especially when pulling off two years of school work in one year. Just glad this hard year is almost behind us. He will still have some Chemistry along with some Consumer Math to do when we get back to town then he'll be done with both 10th & 11th grade. It's hard to believe that we will have a Senior next year!

4 Weeks Away...

4 weeks from today we will be traveling for the 2025 USAW Youth Nationals in Colorado Springs, CO.  

Tim is really looking forward to this event.  We are doing all that we can to make sure that he is ready for this event.  When he's not training he's been doing all kinds of recovery.  He goes to Atlas Orthogonal for his Chiropractic care to keep his body aligned,  Restore Hyper Wellness for his whole body Cryotherapy and Compression therapy & a body guy to keep his muscles from being knotted up so that he can lift at his best.  He just started doing the last one.  He also does cupping (if you don't know what that is please look it up) and laser therapy.  An Elite Athletes recovery is just as important as their training.  Lots of time, energy & money goes into having an Elite Athlete.  We are all about making sure Tim's doing what's best for his body to keep him at his optimum level.  Being able to lift at his best is the goal so that he can do his best at every Meet that he attends.   

Tim will be in a "new" weight division, 65kg, at USAW Youth Nationals this year.  He keeps making such great strides in this sport and we are looking forward to this Meet.  He loves every opportunity that he gets to lift and make gains as he reaches for his goals in this sport.  

Please keep us and him in your prayers as we travel to this Meet and as he competes.  Also for him as he trains leading up to the time to travel.  He so desires to glorify & honor God with all that he does in this sport.  Thanks in advance for all your prayers!

This Years Carolinas WSO Championships Announcement...

 

Tim is looking forward to lifting with everyone again this year at this event.  This will be his 3rd year doing this Meet.  It was the first Meet that he did when he switched over to this sport.

Great Advice...

We have told Tim this all these years since he's been an elite athlete.  It's important that when you have goals, like Tim does, that you surround yourself with those who are striving towards the same goals so that you can help one another to raise your game and be the winner that you want to be.  

Quote of the Day...

 

Verse of the Day...

This is something Kay shared on social media many years ago.

“Know” in this verse means to "acknowledge". As we saw this morning we are to acknowledge that God is God and we are not. It would be a good practice to remind ourselves on a regular basis that He is the one who made us, which means we are accountable to Him. As His sheep we are in a position of privilege - one where God is responsible to feed, protect and guide. When we acknowledge this about God we will be set free and able to rest in that knowledge. ~Kay Arthur (May 22, 2012)

Beautiful...

 This would be absolutely gorgeous on our property:

I love getting ideas of how I would like to fix up our property.  It's so much fun to look and dream.

Outdoor Living...

These would be great in the back yard maybe near a pool😉.  To decide which ones would be hard though.  They are all so beautiful.

Barndaminium....

 I would love to tear down what we currently have and build this on our property:

This would look so great on our property.  It would fit perfectly on the land that we already own.

Would Love This For Tim...

I would love to build this on the back part of our property for Tim to have his own space once he graduates next year.  He would really love this.
