A Better Trip, Next Fall!

I know it’s been a while since the last time I wrote, but believe me when I say, I have so much to share with all of you! As many of you know, I decided to forego my plans for the LPGA Tour. Being away from loved ones alongside the constant hustle and bustle that comes with traveling week-in and week-out, was not a life that I felt was right for me. However, I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to compete in the tournaments this past summer, as I was able to have a sample of what life on tour would entail. I believe God used that time to grow my faith, my strength, and my endurance, which also helped me reevaluate my priorities in life. In the weeks leading up to Q-school, I felt a hesitation in my heart and with consistent prayer; I knew that God had a different direction for my life. My heart has always burned with a passion for children and I have decided to pursue my degree in teaching and serve children in hopes to make a lasting impact on their life!

As for Brad and I together, we have added a new addition to our family, and no…it’s not a baby, but a puppy! A chocolate and white Shih-Tzu, weighing around 1.5 lbs when we welcomed him home. It seems for quite some time now, Brad has longed for a Harley Davidson bike, and well, as a loving wife, I compromised, and we named our sweet boy – Harley! J Now, at 14 weeks, Harley is still quite petite for his breed; weighing-in at roughly 4.3lbs. Regardless, we couldn’t be happier and we are enjoying his love each and everyday!

On a different note, just this past week Brad and I were in for a wake-up call that would remind us of how precious our time is on this earth together. Thursday evening, Brad was enjoying his regular ride home from work (Only about 10 minutes away), when in a split second of time, he was involved in an accident leaving his truck looking like nothing but a beat up accordion. As it turned out, a deer had gone to cross the road and needless to say, after being struck by one careless Mini-Van and two Ford pick-up trucks, the deer didn’t quite make it to the other side. With Brad’s truck totaled and impacted as much as it was, it is an absolute miracle that Brad walked away from the accident without a scratch and we can only praise the Lord for that!

Brad is also nearly ten months into his training program with Chick-Fil-A and things are going very well for him at the store. Just this past weekend Brad competed in the annual soccer tournament in which Chick-Fil-A Magnolia (Brad’s store) and Chick-Fil-A Alden Bridge, play against each other in hopes to claim the Skipper Cup! After a long game that went into overtime, Chick-Fil-A Magnolia obtained the cup once again! With honor, they have the cup displayed in their store for all to see! Great Job, Team!
