What a FUN weekend!!!!

Group Shot with Joe Purdy!!! We had a blast!!

We are so excited!! Yay 3rd stage!!!!

Chris and his caddie, Mike!

We are still so excited about 3rd stage!!! I thought I would post some pictures of our celebration outing!!! Last night, Chris, his caddie, Mike and I went to see a GREAT musician that we LOVE!! His name is Joe Purdy....if you haven't heard of him, check him out! I must say my favorite song of his is "Ode to Sad Clown." He has a very unique sound, and he is a very nice person! Chris and Mike got to talk to him after the show, and I jumped in a picture with them! We actually also celebrated Mike's brother's 30th birthday!!! What a fun night!! This has been the best weekend!! Chris is going to the final stage, Ole Miss beat LSWHOOO, and we got to see Joe Purdy!! God is so good!!! We are just enjoying the time we have together before Chris leaves next Saturday!!! Also, we hope and pray that each of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving! May we be mindful of what God had given to us and blessed us with and may we thank Him for all that we have and are grateful for!!! Once I know more plans about travel and such for 3rd stage, I will post!!! May God bless you all!!! Much love from Nashville!!!!

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!!!!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures for ever!!! Psalm 136:1

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!! It is all in His glory that Chris has made it to the final stage of Q-school. We are blessed and God has answered many prayers. This week was filled with many emotions, but Chris rose to the occasion, with God's help. I have to say, I was pretty nervous myself, but I knew deep down that Chris would do it. We both just want to say THANK YOU to all of our family and friends who have called, emailed, prayed, and supported us these past few months. God has been so good to Chris and I, and we are just overjoyed and overwhelmed by the amount of people who have walked with us on this journey. As far as the final stage goes, Chris and I will be making all of the plans tomorrow. The plan right now is that he will leave next Saturday (Nov. 28), and I will probably go down the following Thursday. Final stage is Wednesday, Dec. 2nd to Monday, Dec. 7th, in West Palm Beach, FL. Once we have final plans nailed down and can figure out what is going on, I will be sure to post! Other than that, I don't have much more to report. We just feel so blessed that God has an awesome plan for us, and we look forward to whatever He has in store for Chris for the 2010 season. This has already been an AMAZING year, and we look forward to ending it on an even better note at 3rd stage!! May God bless us in all that we say, think, and do!! Much love from Nashville!!!

Blessed by God, blessed by our sponsor, blessed by caring family and friends, blessed that we are living the life God intends for us to live!!!! Thanks be to God and thanks to you all!!!!

Only 36 holes to go!!!!

Hello friends!! I talked to Chris a little while after he finished today. I don't think it was necessarily the day he was hoping for, but he still sounds GREAT!!!! The course was playing a little bit harder today...but like I have said before....Par is your friend!! Chris will be teeing off tomorrow morning at 9:50! Please pray that he will remain relaxed and finish this 2nd stage strong!! Pray that he will continue to enjoy himself and play his heart out!!! God is good and whatever happens is all in His hands!! We remain grateful for this opportunity and thank God for each of you!!! Stay tuned and Much love from Nashville!!!

Off to a GREAT start!!!!!

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.Live the life you have imagined.

Hello friends!! I am happy to report that day one is DONE! Chris went out and played some great golf today!! I talked to him right when he finished and he just sounds so relaxed and he even said today was FUN!!! I guess so when you shoot a 66 and are tied for 3rd! He said that today he played a solid round of golf. With 7 birdies and 1 bogey, he said it was a great day weather wise for scoring low! (I hope that makes sense!) He did say that towards the end of the round he was hitting some putts that helped him birdie a few of the holes coming in. He loves the course he is playing and it really suits his game, so that helps a ton! Let's just pray that the weather will continue to be nice and that he will continue to have fun!! Chris also wanted me to tell everyone thanks for all the kind messages!! We are blessed to have so many people following and encouraging along the way!! Pray that Chris will remain relaxed and that he will continue to just enjoy this week! He can do it and he will do it!!! I think that is all I have to report tonight! We can not say thanks enough to all of you following!!! God is so good and we are constantly reminded how gracious He is by all of you!! I tell Chris every day that so many people believe in him!! May God bless each of you!!! Much love from Nashville!!

This is it!!!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6,7

I got off the phone with Chris a little while ago as I was headed to the gym and he was headed to a movie! Today was another great day of practicing and preparation! After a month of waiting from 1st stage, I think Chris is ready and thankful that 2nd stage is finally starting! He sounds very excited for this awesome opportunity and I am so excited that it all starts tomorrow! I forgot to ask Chris what the exact number is that they will take, but he said yesterday that he thought it might be the top 20 and ties. When I find out for sure, I will be sure to post it! Other than that, there really is not much to report. The scoring will be done like last time, so you can go to the link below to keep up with the scoring! Thanks to you all for your love and support!! God is good!! If you get a chance tomorrow, please pray for Chris and that he will have a calm heart!! Much love from Nashville and check back tomorrow night!!!

2nd stage has arrived!!!

The King of love my Shepherd is,

Whose goodness faileth never,

I nothing lack if I am His

And He is mine forever.

Hello friends! What a day it has been! Chris and his caddie, Mike, left bright and early this morning for Georgia! I must say, I was glad to have Chris home for the weekend! We had a great time as one of his good friends, Josh Teater, came to stay with us...but now the time has come to buckle down for this next grueling stage! Chris got to Callaway Gardens around noon today and played 9 holes with a close friend and former teammate, Kyle Ellis. Kyle and Chris finished right next to each other at 1st stage, so I know they are so excited to be playing at the same location again! Chris seemed very excited when I talked to him and sounds great! I think the most important thing for him this week is just to take it one day at a time and to treat it like any other day on the golf course. As hard as that is, I fully believe Chris can do that and I believe that he has every ability to get through this stage! As of right now, Chris will tee off at 10:00 on Wednesday, and 9:00 on Thursday. It looks like if there is any rain at all this week, it will be very little! Please pray that Chris will just give it his very best and that he will just have a calm heart! Pray that he will have fun out there and just enjoy this amazing opportunity that God has provided for him. I know I say this often, but we truly are blessed. Chris has been blessed with talent from God and so many people believe in him. We are truly thankful for each of you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to walk with us on this exciting journey! I think that is all I have to write for now, but stay tuned! I will be posting each night this week! May God bless us in all that we think, say, and do! Much love from Nashville!!
