Wohoo!

That’s more like it, eh?!   

I know you are all as excited as I am about the Mastercard event in Mexico City!  As well, I am sure you are all as tired as me after watching the scores go up and down and down and around!?!  What a crazy amount of birdies eh??  Oh well, they were needed and did the trick:)

It was a very fun week in Mexico over all and I am glad that I have gotten off the blocks well in 2008!  My next event is not until Morelia, MX, in a month (April 7-13).  I am not officially in the tournament yet but I imagine it will be a very similar scenario as Mexico City with a lot of girls pulling out last minute.  Some players and caddies did get quite sick– stomach issues!–and also had troubles with the elevations.  I had no problems, must have the stomach of steal–knock on wood!!  But of course health does scare some people and therefore they end up not coming to the tournament.  Works for me:)

I know you will all be sad that I won’t be playing in Phoenix this year, and I am sorry for that.  But I am having a great opportunity as well as a great alternative to it—I am heading to ITALY on Friday!!  I am so excited!  My friend Ashli Bunch and I are going there for a 10 day tour with a group of ladies called the LAAADY Tripsters of Tennessee.  Ashli’s mom is going as well (wish mine was too…next time mom!).  I know I am looking forward to the food, wine, and scenery!  Ashli is going to enjoy that, as well as a some ‘girl’ time to enjoy a vacation without her 2 kids.  They will be missed though and I am sure we will be buying them lots of giftos!  I will do my best to write when I get back and tell you about it as well as include some pictures!

In the meantime, enjoy the spring weather and have a happy and enjoyable Easter!!  I will have some chocolate and wine for you all!

Thank you to all of you that have written me and given me such great support before and during the tournament!  Your support lifts me up and I am feeling very good about life right now!  I hope that everyone feels that way!

Take care of yourselves!  Love AJ

Hola!!

Great news from Mexico City! 

I get to play in the tournament! 

Actually it wasn’t as hard as it could have been.  I came down yesterday, Sunday, afternoon in preparation for the Monday qualifier.  But by the time I went to qualify at 1pm today, a few girls that were already in the field had pulled out.  All 4 of us that were getting ready to go were very relieved!  I managed to use the next hours well and had a fun practice round!  Of course, I now owe Ashli Bunch a couple cervesas–beers—but that is ok.  I will try and win them back on the weekend!

The tournament starts on Friday and I am looking forward to the start of my first event for 2008!  Please watch and think great thoughts for me please!  I will do my best and be very positive throughout:)

Thank you for all your great support so far!  Love AJ
