T’s Nan and Popsie treated him to the Skyzone Trampoline park. T had a blast. Here’s a video. 

More Pics from Belt Graduation

T was so happy to receive his 3rd Dan and for Grand Master Vincent to put it on him was an honor as well. Grand Master Nelson handed T his certificate. He worked hard to get to this point and it’s well deserved. 

Congratulations to our amazing kid.

Graduation Day!

T is ready to receive his new 3rd Dan Belt today. 

Merry Christmas Honey!

The Jeep finally gave us its goodbye today as it bit the dust. 13 years of great service but it had to finally be replaced. Tonight my Honey got this to use for his work horse. 

T’s Bed

Well we are getting closer to having his room completed. Tonight T gets to sleep in his new bed finally. He’s so happy. A few more things to do and we will take pictures of the finished product and post it for everyone. For now enjoy this:

T’s New Haircut for His 3rd Dan Graduation

T wanted a haircut to reflect his 3rd Dan that he will be receiving on Saturday and this is what he decided on. 

Christmas 🎄 is Up

We finally got the Christmas 🎄 up. T is loving 🥰 it. Here’s a picture. Enjoy!

Christmas Tree

We are finally putting the Christmas tree 🎄 up. This is the latest I’ve put it up since we’ve been married. Life has been a bit busy. T loves putting the tree together and decorating it. 

Nan helped and Pop watched. 

Annual Bowling with the Family

T has learned a new bowling style and is loving it. Btw, he’s chucking a 12 pound ball with that new bowling style.

Prayer

Most of you who follow us and know us well know the literal hell we went through several years back when T had all those stomach issues from a strep throat infection that went two month’s undiagnosed because they couldn’t get a positive test result reading on him. Well we all got a stomach bug from my nieces birthday this past weekend and T’s stomach is still giving him issues. Scot and I are all lined out. I know this isn’t a continuation of the virus at this point. Please pray that his stomach lines out and gets back to normal quickly. We went though almost four years of after math because of that strep infection and it was awful. We all hated it. I really don’t want to see T have to go through that again because of a stomach virus someone saw fit to spread to us. To say I’m frustrated at this point is and understatement. I’m actually very angry 😡. 

T’s Room Update

Well we about got the bed together and found out that one of the boxes we should’ve gotten (included in price) was missing. So we will be making a day trip to Charlotte to go to IKEA and pick up the box/boxes with the slats that we are missing. While there T will be getting a fresh haircut by his Barbour LaMeek for his graduation to his 3rd Dan on the 7th. In the meantime we will be putting the rest of his room together that way all we will need to do is add the slats and the mattress and T’s room will be all done. Here’s a couple of pics of Scot and T putting the bed together. We love IKEA and could just kick ourselves that we missed getting one of the boxes. Of course while I’m there you know I will do more shopping...LOL! I so love IKEA. Who knows I may find some more things here that I need to get from there to help organize our home even more😊. I love any excuse to shop at IKEA.

Mattress for T’s Room

T chose a pillow top mattress for his bed. We went to pick it up yesterday and they handed us this box:

Can you believe that there’s a full size pillow top mattress in that box. They shrink wrap them and put them in a box now. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. But there you have it folks. A mattress is a box...LOL! And to think they wanted to charge us $99 delivery change for it. So glad we chose to pick it up. We were thinking we’d have to tie it on the roof or squeeze it in the van. My how times have changed. 

Great Day of Training

T had his best day of training with his coach since his injury.  There's been a lot of talks and a lot of work but he's bouncing back.  I was glad to see him reach a peak today and it's our goal to keep on top of it from this point on.   Working hard on moving forward.  

Training with His Coach

Training has had its ups and downs since T has been back. Getting back into the grove of things has been more difficult than we thought it would be. Today was a hard workout for T. He’s not where he needs be yet but he will get there. He just has to stay focused on his goals and continue to train hard. It’s not easy but he knows it will be worth it in the long run. We head home tomorrow. We have a busy weekend ahead of us.  

T’s Room

T’s room is coming together in our absence. Scot has been very busy and has almost got the room completely painted. We get to see it for ourselves when we get home tomorrow but for now these pictures will have to do. 

Our House

After 3 days of cleaning with my mothers help the house is clean. It feels so much better to be in the house now. It was long overdue for a good deep clean. Glad we were able to be a blessing to her as well for spending so much of her time helping us. 

And now the boys are priming the ceiling so paint can go on this week😁.

3rd Dan Black Belt

T’s 3rd Dan Black Belt is in and hanging. So looking forward to graduation on December 7th.
