YEAH!!! He did it. It is about 1 something in the morning right now and I am running totally on adrenaline to stay awake and pick Parker up from the airport at 2am! I wanted to thank everyone for their e-mails, text messages, and phone calls this week. We truly appreciate all of the support. I know that all of your positive thoughts were with him throughout the tournament. We couldn't be more excited about looking at his 2008 schedule with Full PGA Tour Status!
I could finally breathe for the first time in a week when I got the first text message today the he did it! I hadn't looked at the scores on the internet or TV so I could remain calm and neutral each time I talked to Parker on the phone. We decided that I was going to stay home this year and Parker was going to go and just be in his "game time" mode! And it worked. Each time we chatted on the phone there was very little golf talk...more about Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, etc... I knew his approach to Q-School from being with him for the last 2 years and I wanted to stay as consistent to that as possible on my end. I know that I could have looked at the scores today, but my nerves were racing and I thought that I would just rather know when it was all done! Each day I got the vibes from him that he was playing well, so going into the last day I knew he had a great chance. I am just so proud of him for finishing strong and securing full status for next year. I really feel that his game is so ready to take on the PGA Tour again in January.
Thank you all for all of your support and encouragement this year. It has been a crazy journey and we are so thankful for the opportunity to do it all again! Wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday Season!

Hey kids---congrats! And congrats from the guy in the next stall at the Ala Wai Driving Range and the cashier at Long's Drugs in Manoa, and the electrician who just drove by the house while I was mowing the yard and Jack and Zelie Myers who were in town to celebrate Jack's 60th and the Nunokawas, and the Nakayas and the Wings and Charlie Jenkins and the Board of Water Supply worker who watches every shot on every hole and more of Grace Wilson's golfing gang and I could go on, but that just gives you a slice of how many people from all walks of life love following you on Tour! Hope you had a fun 2nd honeymoon and we look forward to seeing you whenever you get here! :)) Aloha, cmac
Kmac--I have come to the conclusion that there are as many people who "pace around" and refuse to watch the scores as there are those who watch. And both sides refuse to change their pattern for fear of jinxing the mojo! Amazing how the average spectator thousands of miles away can effect the outcome of a round! :))
