both discussion effort goes huge parts progress sacrifice takes work
That's our relationship. We're both very motivated, strong-willed people. It takes a huge effort and sacrifice on both our parts to make everything work, and it's always a work in progress and a discussion and everything that goes with that.
bags both carried discussion effort extremely goes huge job parts progress quit sacrifice takes together work
It's extremely difficult, but we couldn't have it any other way. I don't think we'd be together if he just quit his job and carried my bags around the tour. That's our relationship.

I started playing tournaments at 15 and I'm 29 now. It definitely gets a lot tougher as you get older and older.
