2 more days!!!!

What a ride it has been! I have 2 more days and I will be finished with my Masters in the Art of Teaching! I am sorry for not posting very much these past few weeks! I have been so busy trying to wrap up all of the requirements for my student teaching. Chris' year so far has been very trying and different than last, but we are grateful for the opportunities at hand. He is currently trying to Monday Qualify for the Nationwide events each week, yet also trying to get to the E-golf events as well. It is not the most ideal situation, but we know that God is working this situation exactly as He has planned, and we are just carrying it out! Thank you to everyone for keeping us in your prayers and for encouraging us in every way possible. Chris is staying strong and I know that he is going to get going soon....it is just taking a little more time and patience! After I graduate on May 8th, I will have the opportunity to travel with him some and we are both so excited that I will be able to share some of his "road experiences" with each other. Let me just be the first to tell you.....it is really hard to go weeks at a time away from each other, but I do know that God has control of what our plan for the next few years will be! We are just living each day to the best of our ability to see what God has in store. May God bless each of you in the days to come and may He be with us in all that we say, think, and do. I will try to post our plans in the next few weeks!!! Much love from Nashville!!

Crazy Week!

Some weeks are boring, but not this week! WHEW! Chris and I got back from the Masters at 1 a.m. Monday morning and somehow I made it to school by 7:45. Even though I was there, I was not there! :) This week was really busy at school as the kids are getting ready to start TCAP testing tomorrow, which is the big state test given every year. Please pray that our 3rd graders will be ready! Chris left yesterday for Valdosta, GA. He will be trying to Monday Qualify again for the Nationwide event. He played a practice round today and played well. Bailey and I had a really fun day today. I went to the gym for a bit, then my friend Julia and I played tennis and took Bailey to a walking trail! It was lots of fun and BEAUTIFUL here! Bailey got a bath this evening and is now snuggled up next to me trying to warm up! We remain blessed for the opportunities we have and look forward to what tomorrow and this week bring for us! Thanks for your prayers and support! Much love from Nashville!!

Spring Break!!

Wow....I do apologize for not posting in FOREVER!!! I am on spring break this week from student teaching and I think my mind has been on spring break for a couple of weeks now! :) That is what happens when good weather comes around! Chris is currently in Wilmington, NC playing a tournament. We were in my hometown, Jackson, MS for Easter and had a great time seeing family and friends. We are now Godparents to our dear friend Carleen Harrison's son! Chris and I feel so blessed and honored to be Godparents and we are so proud of our new Godson. He is truly a blessing from God and we pray that we will be supportive in all he does in his life! I also got to see my Goddaughter, Emma, while I was in Jackson. She is such a sweet girl and we had so much fun hunting Easter Eggs after church and going to get ice cream at Maggie Moos! God has blessed my life with so many wonderful people! At Easter lunch, we had a house full of dogs. Bailey fell in LOVE with my Geedaddy! He kept giving her chips with dip on them! It was too cute! Don't worry folks....she got to run around with my cousin's dog after her lunch of chips and dip! Overall, it was a great weekend! Chris did have to fly out early Easter morning, but we are very thankful that we at least got to spend our first Easter together at church on Saturday night! The best part of it all is that we are going to the Masters on this coming Sunday! Although we can't take pictures there, we will take some after with all of the merchandise people want us to buy for them! :) We feel very blessed to have this opportunity to go and hopefully Chris will be playing it soon!!! Much love to all! Stay tuned for results from this week's tournament! Chris made the cut and is currently T37. Two more rounds to go!

Tied for 10th!

Well, one good thing about me getting to visit with Morgan Leigh in
Birmingham is that I got to see Chris on his way to Louisiana! We had
dinner for about an hour or so and then off he went! He drove all the
way to Hammond, LA... 100 miles from his destination Lafayette, LA. He
arrived in Hammond around 3:20 AM...or at least that is when I got the
text he made it ok! He had a great week in Charlotte! He tied for
tenth place, which I am so proud of him! I think overall Chris is
pleased with his game. He is really working on putting, but he is
hitting the ball well! He will play a practice round today at 1:30 and
his qualifying round tee time tomorrow will be at 7:50. Please pray
that he will be rested for Monday and that he will just do his very
best! God has provided so much and we are blessed for that. Even
though I could complain that I only got to see Chris for an hour last
night, I just feel blessed that I got to see him at all! Thanks for
all the prayers and support! God is good!!!

A WONDERFUL WEEKEND

I had the opportunity to get away this weekend and it was much needed
for sure! Bailey and I went south to Birmingham to see my sweet friend
Morgan Leigh and her yorkie Harry Winston! I must say Harry was a
little territorial but he and Bailey became best friends! Morgan Leigh
is the present fairy and gave Bailey an Easter bunny, which she
loves!! Thanks Morgan Leigh and Harry Winston for such a fun, much
needed weekend!! More pics to come soon!!!

WE THINK WE CAN!

Chris and I have the mentality this week of WE THINK WE CAN!! I am on the home stretch of student teaching and Chris is gearing up for another tournament week! I think between all of the cold, yucky weather this winter and just ready to be together traveling for the summer, we are just doing our best to get through the next few weeks! Now that the time change has come, I think it is really exciting to know that the warm weather is right around the corner! Chris went and had a lesson the past 2 weekends. He seems to really be hitting the ball better and better each time he goes for a lesson and I think he is just ready for the tournaments to start picking up. He is in Charlotte this week for an Egolf tour, and then next week, he will be heading down to Louisiana for his first Nationwide Monday Qualifier. It has been a slow start as far as Chris not playing a lot of tournaments so far this year, but his schedule is about to be really crazy! Pray that he will remain calm throughout the next few days and weeks to come and that he will just carry out God's will as he plays to the best of his human ability. We remain grateful to God for the opportunity to do the things that we love to do. This journey is molding us into exactly who God wants us to be, and we are blessed for and by that! God is good! Hope all is well with everyone!

Bailey's New Best Friend

Chris and I took Bailey to the park after I got out of school today. It was such a beautiful day! Bailey had her second playdate with the cutest yorkie named Muffin! We met Muffin at the park last weekend. They love playing with each other and get along great! We hope to see Muffin again soon! Hope everyone is doing well! We are doing well here!
