Poop.
As you can see, I haven’t updated this blog in 10 months. Yikes. My poor blog has missed out on tons!
I’M AN AUNT. That’s all that really matters. I became an aunt August 20 to the coolest, most beautiful baby girl named Ella. I saw her every month for the first 6 months of her life until my travels kicked back up and I’m counting down the days until I get to hold and kiss her little face and head again. She is by far my pride and joy.
Just a quick recap of 2012: I came home from Europe in June after being out of the country for 6 weeks and sat on the couch for a good week and just watched TV and slept and ate like a pig. I’m sure I gained all the weight I lost in Europe but I was THRILLED to be back in Phoenix and watch American TV and hear American accents. Europe was fantastic and 2012 was a year I will NEVER forget. Learning experiences, life experiences, and golf experiences that I’ll take with me for the rest of my life.
I finished the golfing season by playing in the States on the Symetra Tour. Competed in Q School for my 4th time and for the first time ever, I didn’t qualify on for Final Stage. Heart breaking but I took a good, long break off from golf. I now know that I need to say no to some commitments and try not to be everywhere all the time. Overwhelmed. Overworked. I simply wore myself out and didn’t have a good sense of balance. It was golf, travel, golf, travel and there’s more to life than that.
Fast forward to 2013 and I’m playing full time on the Symetra Tour. I am working on fundraising and hopefully representing some great companies in the future.
We’ve played three events so far in Mesa, AZ, Winter Haven, FL and most recently, Sarasota, FL. So far it’s going pretty good with 2 of 3 made cuts. I’m still living in Phoenix and absolutely love it. I joined a golf course down the street from my house called Raven Golf Club. It’s getting me to pound tons more balls on the backside of their range so I’m becoming more of a “practice player” than I’ve normally been. I still prefer playing more than hitting balls on the range but practice makes perfect, right?
I’m currently flying back to Phoenix for the week to rest up and get some things done. I’ll be flying back to the east coast by the end of the week to play two weeks in a row in North Carolina. I’m really looking forward to those tournaments because I love to be around my Southern folk.
I plan to keep this dang blog more up-to-date from here on out!
Thunder UP!
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
