Last blog as a web.com tour wife!

Hello my friends! I do apologize for not blogging in a while. As you might know things have been a little chaotic! Be just returned from Ponte Vedra Florida near Jacksonville for the last championship event for the web.com tour. We enjoyed our week at a house on the beach we rented for all of our family to enjoy! I must say it was much needed and so relaxing. Hadley enjoyed every second of playing in the sand and splashing in the waves. Unfortunately Zack missed the cut but that didn't keep us from enjoying all the activities we had planned with our family and te web.com tour. Zack, Harold and his Aunt Nancy caught our dinner for Saturday evening and we enjoyed a fish fry with delicious sides and artichokes! He also couldn't t leave the beach without trying to catch a shark. Friday night we enjoyed a private concert featuring Scotty McCreery! We were also blessed to hear from Jim Furyk and the Wounded Warrior project! TPC and the web.com tour headed up a fantastic tournament and a exciting week. Sunday we headed to the course with all of our supporters to except his PGA tour card! It was another exciting and proud moment for me to watch Zack be announced!! Monday we spent the entire day in new member orientation learning about the PGA tour and all of it's perks! I must say I feel so blessed to be apart of such a fantastic organization! Childcare is one of the perks! This is my last post as a web.com our wife my next post will be at the Frys PGA tour event in Napa!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers and support! We still need all of it crossing over to the PGA tour! 

Portland

What a week it was in Portland! I don't think we ever say still but I enjoyed every minute of it! I had so much fun touring the city, shopping and eating a some incredible places. My week was filled with great company by so many different people. I feel so blessed to have made new friendships! Zack would probably say last week was exhausting while I dragged him just about everywhere but he never complained and acted excited to do whatever! Even a 3 hour drive with friends to Seattle! He is the most giving man I know! I am not always so patient but thankful The Lord puts me in my place and reminds me how precious this man is! I am getting very anxious to see my sweet girl!! It has been a week now and I still have to wait until Friday. So thankful that my parents were willing to drive the long stretch to Fort Wayne to get her to us! Last week Hadley stayed with Joanne and from what I hear had a amazing time! It makes me so happy for her to be able to have this time with her grandparents and enjoy it so much!  I will leave you will this transparent thought today. I have been on such a roller coaster ride of excitement these last few weeks for many different reasons so many exciting things happening. You can often get caught up in life's excitement and forget the one allowing you to have the success your having. Just remember The Lord can take it as quickly as he can give it. I pray everyday that I can be humbled and filled with the HIS joy and peace through out this Journey we call

life. We are all on different paths but there is only one righteous path. I pray today that you begin to feel God's presence and live with HIM having a powerful spirit filled life!

Exploring Portland

Today was a fun day! Started it off with brunch at a local restaurant called Mother's. It was delicious! Shopping was next on the list! I had some of my most favorite fashionista ladies with me helping me find some cute things for a few upcoming events! I had so much fun and I feel like a new women! We ended the day of shopping with the famous Voodoo Doughnut company! What a experience! Came back to the hotel for a short amount of time then headed to the Nike Favtory employee store!!! We ended the night with some delicious Japanese food. Having a great time in Portland looking forward to the rest of the week!!

 

Good days!

Today was a good day! We headed to the course around 11:30. Mom and I had lunch at the course and chatted with some of the other wives until time to watch Zack. Mom watched Hadley and I walked the front 9 with Lisa and Zacks aunts! I'm so glad they could make it out to watch! We have missed them! They have supported Zack all throughout his career and we are so grateful! Mom watched the back 9 and Lisa had our weekly Bible study while Hadley napped. Zack didn't have his best round of golf but hopeful for a solid round tomorrow! We ended the day with a delicious meal at Calhoun's with the Schriefer's and mom and topped it off with a little icecream from Baskin Robins!

Back on the road!

Hello everyone I hope your week has been wonderful! We are back on the road this week for the next 6 weeks. First stop in Knoxville, TN. We decided to wait until the last second to leave birmingham so we didn't arrive until later last night. Love where we are staying this week! We try our best to get a suite when possible so that Hadley can separation from us when she goes down for the night or nap time. My mom is with us this week and so that is always nice. We love MiMi! I have been trying to get Hadley to eat with a fork or spoon and she has finally picked up on it and actually does surprisingly well. She started doing it last night and it's wonderful to see. In hopes that Zack makes the cut this week we have a good bit of people coming to watch on the weekend. I'm super excited to see everyone and so thankful for all of the support and effort our friends and family put into seeing us! I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

The result of prayer

Good morning! So sorry I am late posting this week things have been busy. It has been a fantastic week of being home and seeing family and friends! The first day I was home just so happened to be "Raise the Praise" at our home church. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to stand and worship and praise God for all he has done this past year. It was such a release for me to enter in to HIS presence 

It had been 7 weeks since I was able to attend church and it was so worth the wait. I continued my week visiting my family and attending a few gatherings to see friends. Sunday we attended church and it was powerful day. PK peached an incredible message to live out our faith. I was so moved to think of the platform God has given us next year. My prayer is exactly that. Lord use me! We followed up a powerful service with our SS class. Oh how we have missed all of them! My sweet friend Kristy spoke on the Circle Maker. If you haven't read it go get it!  She spoke on how you can have Joy in your relationship with The Lord, and how our relationship with HIM can be filled with so much peace and fulfillment! Let me be the first to tell you that I use to sit comfortably in church wondering why a didn't ever have this joy and fulfilling relationship with The Lord. It's because I wasn't truly seeking HIM and spending time with HIM. There is so much more to your walk with The Lord than you could ever imagine. You can have Joy and live a incredible spirit filled life! I have been waiting to share this for sometime now. This road we have lived has not been easy and I have not always lived this so called spirit filled life. But after years of living without a relationship with Christ and excepting HIM and my savior I desired HIM in a way I never knew existed! This year has been nothing short than the result of prayer from others and my relationship with The Lord. My challenge to you is that is you do not have a strong desire to be near God and truly thirst for HIM and wonder how you can have this, this is how!! Thank you Lord for allowing me the opportunity to share my story!

Yosemite National Park

Yesterday was an adventure! We did the Panorama Trail from Glacier Point and finished at the Mist Trail. It was just over 9 miles. We didn't take Hadley we thought that might be a little long so JoJo watched Hadley and did a little hiking to! I really enjoyed the hike but I was fading fast towards the end. It was a pretty strenuous hike on the legs. It was obviously a good workout because I am very sore and fatigued today. I have a lot of pictures I'll be sharing later! We had made a plan with Joanne to meet up at a certain destination after our hike. We arrived and Joanne was no where to be found. We waited for about 30 minutes and decided she obviously misunderstood the location. We decided to break up and scope out places she might be. After a hour of searching I started to panic and just prayed someway we would reconnect. You might be thinking why not just use your phones. Well we were in a National park and there is not any coverage. Zack and I finally decided sticking close to the road would be best do she could see is and thankfully that's exactly where we found each other!!  After feeling such relief that we had found them we had a nice dinner and headed to bed!!! Today we headed to the airport jammed in like sardines in the rental car. I am so thankful to be headed home after 7 weeks and seeing all of my friends and family! There is so much more to look forward to so I thought a little time off would be much needed!
