God Provides!

First of all, I would like to wish each of you a Happy Valentine's Day! Chris and I don't get in to the holiday too much, but he was nice enough to get me some flowers and my FAVORITE Dove Chocolate! Well, Chris left this morning for 2 weeks! He is off to Hilton Head for 2 E-golf tour events. Chris and I rode up to Bowling Green, KY for a lesson yesterday and it was all positive! Chris got some great time in with his teacher and he is hitting the ball like a pro....I guess that is a good thing since he is one! I was really excited to sit in and listen to what they had to say! Every time I get to sit in on a lesson, it makes me more appreciative that I don't play the sport of golf! There is too much to think about to hit a little white ball around!

With all of that being said, over the past few weeks, Chris and I have done lots of praying and had lots of conversations about plans for the upcoming year. It has been very difficult and very exciting all at the same time, but we think God is leading us in the right direction. Chris and I sat down and looked at his schedule for 2010 (I am going to try to post it on here). Starting at the beginning of April, Chris will be gone for 12 straight weeks in a row. Since he is not guaranteed any Nationwide events, Chris will be very busy trying to Monday Qualify at events to better his number in the re-shuffle (very confusing I know). Anyway, we have decided that the best decision for our marriage and for each of our own happiness is for me to go with him on the road to hopefully most events. Since money is never guaranteed until you make it, I am hopefully going to start going to most of the tournaments that are within driving distance. My goal for the 2010-2011 school year is to sub at several local schools to remain involved with schools in the event that I will have to go back and get a full time job! This is a huge decision for us and we would love some prayers that God will just show us the way. We are taking this leap of faith because Chris and I have talked about how we will never get this time back and we NEED to do this to strengthen our marriage and I personally think golf is so mental that Chris needs support on the road!

With the decision made, I will be doing lots of things to help Chris on the road. I will be taking over his books for expenses, running all errands when we are in town, and doing his laundry on the road. Any little task that takes away from his practice time, I will be doing! We decided that to better focus on his game and take advantage of this amazing opportunity he has, we are going to do every thing we can so that he can utilize his time to better himself and his game. I love being his support system so this really excites me that I will be able to be a part of his life on the road and helping him doing the stuff he HATES and I actually enjoy!

Lastly, we would like to say thank you to our family and friends for supporting us in this process. If any of you know me (and Chris too), this is a major decision and one that requires a lot of faith. I truly believe that this is going to be an amazing year for both of us. I have had many signs over the past couple of weeks that really affirms our decision and I am now just looking forward to graduating with my Masters and hitting the road supporting Chris. Our motto over the past few weeks is that GOD PROVIDES!!!! We are a little hesitant about money and logistics of making this work, but we know that God provides and we CAN and WILL make this work. God is good and we feel blessed that we have this opportunity while we are young to be with each other and and support each other in our lives. Certain people keep reminding me that life is short and we can't wait for happiness, we must find a way to make happiness be a part of the now in our lives. We are blessed and remain faithful that this is what God wants for our lives. Please stay tuned! Chris is ready to get started for the year!! Please pray that he will start the year off to a good start and remain focused in all that he may come across!!! Much love from Nashville!!!
