Trip to Houston

Since Hilary and I are still on "vacation" (unemployed) we decided to take a roadtrip! So Monday evening we took off for Houston. We have a friend that lives there and is getting married this weekend. We are not able to go to the wedding this weekend so we thought we would head over there early in the week to help her with things that still needed to get done and just to spend some good quality time with her and her fiance. It was a great trip and we have lots of stories!!

Here is a view coming into downtown Houston!

The bride and groom!! Nancilea and Matt.It was so great, on Tuesday night we got to pray with Nancilea, Matt and Nancilea's mom. It was such a sweet time of lifting them up to God, praying for their new life together and that their marriage and their ministry together would glorify Jesus. It was a powerful time!

We were originally going to go to Galveston on Wednesday to check out the ocean since we were so close, but then we decided that it would be too much driving and not enough time in the sun. We were also planning on meeting up with a couple of Hilary's students that she taught over the summer who were in Houston visiting family. Random! So we knew we wouldn't have much time.
So, we decided to go to Splash Town instead, a fun waterpark. As we were looking for the hours online we find out that it's CLOSED! So...another option...we would go to their neighborhood pool. Well...come to find out...it's CLOSED!! Sooo....last option...the WAC. Nancilea is an Olympic Contender for diving and the training pool is located in Houston! So she hooked us up by giving us some free passes! It was great to be out in the sun and to jump in and get cooled off. Although I sort of felt like I needed swim a few intense laps instead of doing my little doggie paddle swim. It was great, even though I got FRIED :)! I love being in the sun, even when it is 107 degrees out!! (yes it was that hot!)
