Tee Times for Tuesday and Wednesday

Just wanted to let everyone know that the tee times have been posted for the first two rounds. Chris will be teeing off at 10:20 on Tuesday and 9:17 on Wednesday. As far as I know, the number of players that advance to Second stage has still not been released. When I talk to Chris tonight, I will see if he has all of that information! I did talk to him this morning and he sounds great and so excited to be at 1st stage! For now, I think that is all...but stay tuned....I will report tonight after I talk to him! Much love for now!

A Golfers Prayer for Everyone!!!

I just got off the phone with Chris. He sounds great! He seems to be really excited to be in Houston and happy with his game. He has a great friend, Mike Regenold (aka Miguel) on the bag this week looping it for him. I know they going to be a great team! As I find myself thinking about Chris and his week ahead, I searched for a prayer that might pertain to golfers. It sounds really goofy, but sometimes I am not too sure what I should be praying for! I sometimes feel that I sound greedy just asking for Chris to do well in his golf game! :) I thought this prayer was great because it is something that all of us, golfers or not, can take away and apply it to our lives. While this profession seems to put people in the spotlight, I think we can take something away from golf even if we don't play! (That would be ME!) What a challenge for all of us! Let us all remember that we are on this Earth for a purpose that God has planned for us. May we continue to glorify Him in all that we say, think, and do. May we honor him by our actions and may He continue to bless our lives in exactly the way He intends for it to be blessed! Thanks to each of you and stay tuned! There is much to be reported! Much love from Nashville!

P.S. - David, if you are reading this! I expect this to be your new prayer at the end of the service! I am suprised I haven't heard this prayer from you yet! :)

Golfers Prayer

“Almighty God, as we play through our 18 holes of life, we pray that you will give us a drive that’s both long enough to reach our goals, and yet straight enough to keep us out of trouble."

“Help us avoid the traps and hazards of life; nevertheless, should we find ourselves in them, give us the tools, skills and desire to escape them with no penalty. May we always stay in bounds.”

“Help us to be willing to stand by - and not play through - those in genuine need. May we always play with honor.”

“And finally, when we’ve putted out on the 18th green, we pray that we will have demonstrated the integrity of our character, so that you will judge us worthy enough to join your threesome and play eternally on your heavenly course. Amen.”

Q-school is here.....

Hello everyone! Well it is that time of the year, Q-school time! UGH! I am not sure who dreads it more, Chris or myself! Chris played the Egolf Tour Championship this past week in Pinehurst, NC, and while he finished 6 under par, tied for 28th, he felt that he played well. (I always think he plays well!) I will say that the second day of this tournament, he played in pouring rain all day, but he told himself before going out that he was not going to complain that the morning group had dry weather! :) Overall, I think Chris is satisfied with his game right now. Of course there is always something to work on, I sense that he is pretty satisfied with his play. I keep telling him this year is going to be the year! His incentive for getting to 3rd stage is that I am going to take off work and fly down to be with him at 3rd stage, so we will see if it works! I think being on the PGA is good enough incentive though! If you get a chance this week, just lift up Chris in prayer. Pray specifically that God will calm his heart and that he will do his possible best. I always tell Chris before he goes out that all he can do is his humanly best, and God will take care of the rest. How reassuring to know that God is so powerful and He is our source of strength and success. Chris and I just want to thank each of you for supporting us in our lives. We are truly blessed and continue to thank God each day for all of the many blessings He has given us. Although Chris and I can not see the future God holds for us with this career path, it is so reassuring to know that He has great plans for our lives and that we can just lean on Him and trust him through faith in Him. I have to admit, some days I really just want to know what is going to happen, but ultimately I think not knowing allows us to be challenged and to go deeper in faith! Without God we are nothing, and through Him we can do ALL things! Thanks be to God for this opportunity Chris has to pursue his ultimate goal...the PGA tour! I believe that through Christ Chris WILL make it! Much love for now and stay tuned!!

Married Life....It's all good!!!

Me, Meg, and Julie at the Ole Miss vs. Memphis game!

Hotty Toddy!!!

Well, it has been 3 weeks today since Chris and I have tied the knot! We had a great two weeks together at home getting settled into our new condo! We still have a lot to do around the house, but it is coming! Once my parents bring a few pieces of furniture from Jackson, we will post pictures of our home! We did have the chance to go to the Ole Miss vs. Memphis game and stay with some close friends, Julie and Trevor Cropp. They opened their house to us and we had so much fun spending time with them! Chris left last Sunday evening for two weeks to play in some of the final events for Tarheel Tour for this season. We are so excited that he tied for 2nd place! There was some great golf that was played! I will post the article below! If y'all could, please keep us in your prayers as he focuses on preparing for Q-School. He has to get through 3 stages to get to the PGA! Pray that God will calm his nerves and put him in the right frame of mind to prepare and to continue living his dream. We are so blessed and thank God every day for the opportunity for him to pursue what he truly loves. We know that so few people get to really live this dream, so hopefully Chris can get through this year! Thanks to all for your love and support at our wedding! We are still talking about how amazing it was to have so many people who love us and care for us there! God is good and He reminds us every day through our family and friends that we have truly been given a great gift in all of this! Much love to each of you...and stay tuned!

Here is Chris playing the final round, which he placed T2!

This one is for you Lora!

I had to post this one! Who knows....but this is what Lora found!

This is a picture of the lovely granddaughters in the backseat of our grandmother's rental car....a Dodge Charger! Needless to say, it was not the Cadillac! She was not a fan of the Charger, but this is what we found in the backseat!

I just found this on my computer! This is a picture of my grandmother, my cousin Lora and I at Thanksgiving 2005! We miss her very much and loved her dearly! She was the most generous person I knew!

Time flies by......

Well, I guess it has been 2 months since I posted on here and we are about a month out from the wedding! All I can say is CRAZY! Chris and I are closing on a condo next Friday, July 31st and then the moving and craziness begins from there on out! I will post a few more pictures tonight from the engagement party we had in late April. Stay tuned for more pictures! Much love from Nashville!
