Life Lately!























It has been a while since I have posted, so I thought I would post a few pictures of what is going on here in Nashville! Chris left on Wednesday to go to the Titleist studio in San Diego. He is having a BLAST and has pretty much gotten a whole new set of golf clubs that are now conforming (something about the grooves on the clubs). He feels really good about how he is hitting the ball and is really glad to be away from this cold weather. I must say, the last week has been a real challenge as his practice time has been very limited due to the weather. Winter in Nashville is always hard to deal with when trying to play golf, but by God's grace, we are making it through! Chris was supposed to fly back tonight, but due to the winter storm and his flight more than likely being cancelled, he will be flying back next week! Since he is a PGA member, he has found a great place to practice and even better, he is probably going to try to Monday Qualify for the PGA Tour event next week. His good friends Josh Teater (a 2010 PGA Tour player) and his caddie Charlie Gibson (a good friend that Chris went to high school with and was in our wedding) will be at the same Monday Qualifier. Chris had the opportunity to hang out with them this week as the PGA tournament was in San Diego. Chris got to go to the PGA Bible study and I know he really enjoyed that.
I have been working hard student teaching. I am loving teaching and loving being in a great school. As you can see in the picture, I have been working hard on assessing students for my student teaching project. It is a very tiring job, as most days all I want to do is come home and sit down. I am on my feet all day, but love being a busy bee! It is very rewarding getting to watch these children learn and grow!
Bailey is doing awesome! She is growing up so fast! She is getting longer each day! :) I took her out in the snow this morning and I don't think she was a huge fan! I am sure it is cold since her belly is so close to the ground. There are also pictures of sweet Myatt holding Bailey! She loves Bailey so much and so I take Bailey with me when I babysit the Hooper girls! Myatt is my sweet, little friend that I have kept since she was 3 weeks old. She and I have so much fun together! She has two older sisters, Eads and Maggie, who were in our wedding! Chris and I love them all dearly!
We are staying busy around here and just praying for God to continue to show us the way for 2010! I must say, I am looking forward to the summer, so I can travel with Chris to some tournaments! Please pray that Chris will get in some of the early Nationwide events so he can better his number to play more events! I think he is in great spirits now that he is out of this cold weather! Pray that he will work hard and continue to do his very best to carry out God's plan for this year! We remain so grateful for our family and friends who support us in our journey! We are blessed with all of the awesome opportunities we have and look forward to a great year ahead! May each of us live as God intends and may we be ever mindful of the needs of others. May all that we say, think, and do be always pleasing unto Him, and may we remember to always be grateful for all that we have been given! Much love from Nashville!!!!
P.S. Chris' staff bag came in yesterday, so I had to open it and take pictures so he could see it!! It was like opening a Christmas present! :) Enjoy the pictures! Olde Stone is the course in Bowling Green, KY where Chris practices and where his instructor, Matt Killen, is located! Also, big thanks to Alan Bullington, Chris' agent, who has worked so hard to get deals for Chris' 2010 season! Thanks Alan!!

Meet Bailey Rogers!!!


Hello all!! I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted on here. It has been such a whirlwind around here, but I think I am surviving! Student teaching is going well, but it is very tiring!!! Chris is still down south practicing and getting his game in shape, so I have been missing him a ton!! I decided that through all of this and since his schedule is going to be way more intense this year, I needed someone to keep me company at night! Meet Bailey! Bailey is such a sweet dog and she has brought me so much joy! Chris can't wait to meet her!! I must be honest, it has been a rough week since Chris has been gone...and to know that he will be gone even more this year makes me a little sad...since we are just newlyweds! I know that God has great plans for our lives and that we are both succeeding in the path that God intends for us. It is hard though! Chris and I remain faithful that God is so great and that He has our best interest at heart! No matter what He has in store for us this year, we know that it is in His hands! I will try to keep you updated on Chris' whereabouts! He is in and out for the next month until tournaments start, so stay tuned! Much love from Nashville!!!

Last night in WPB!!!





I just wanted to post a few pics of our last night in WPB!! Chris and I got to go to dinner with Chris' agent, Alan, Mike, Scott and Jen Stallings, and Charlie Gibson, who was a groomsman in our wedding! It was a lot of fun!! We went to a GREAT restaurant called City Cellar. This was located in the "City Place." It is a really cool shopping center! You will notice that I am wearing sun dress with a Christmas tree behind us! I couldn't get used to seeing Christmas decorations in warm weather! Anyway, we had a blast!!! Here are some pics!!


A Note from Chris

First off, I just want to thank you so much for following us along this journey. It's been up and down all year but has been a blast. I could not be happier. A long year has come to an end, yet far short of success. I have taken a ton from my experiences and hope to learn all I can from it. Each and every day helps make me better. As I have completed all stages of qualifying school I have gained conditional status for the Nationwide Tour. I could be upset that I did not gain full status or a tour card for 2010 however what I have is better than I have ever had before. I look forward to what 2010 brings, good or bad. I still feel very confident in my game. This past week in West Palm Beach was a tough way to end 2009 but I really hit the ball very well. For some reason my putter let me down. I have putted well all year so I can't be disappointed. It's very nice to be home with Tracy as we prepare for the holidays. We leave on the 17th for Antigua. Finally getting to celebrate a honeymoon. Tracy and I cannot wait. It should be a blast.

I will most likely resume in January. I'm not quite sure of my schedule at this point but I will probably head to Florida for a short time to prepare for the upcoming events. The weather is so cold here in TN. Most likely I will try and play mostly the Nationwide Tour in 2010. Early on I might try and play some of the E Golf Tour, the tour I have played all of this year. Either way we will definitely keep everyone updated. 2010 should really be a great and challenging year ahead. I feel like the Nationwide Tour is where I belong at this point, even though we all want to go straight to the PGA. The Nationwide should be a great proving ground to move on.

Again I really appreciate every one's continued support and prayers. We are really blessed to have the family and friends we do. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season. God Bless! Thanks again!

In Him,
Chris
