This week has been break week for the Southwest students, so
we decided to take a vacation. Our first one together other than our honeymoon.
We’ve had a great week off. We went to Corpus Christi for about three days and
spent two days in San Antonio with David’s family.
In San Antonio we celebrated my mother-in-law’s 50th
birthday. We always have so much fun together. David and I went to Sea World
again since we have a season pass. On Wednesday night, David taught Bible Class
and gave the devotional at the Shenandoah church of Christ. Shenandoah is one
congregation that supports him financially through school. Afterward we went
out to dinner with my brother.
It was almost the perfect time of year to go to Corpus. Our
first day in town we made a surprise visit to the Weber Road church of Christ,
another supporter, and spent a little time with them. They invited us to dinner
that night with the preacher and his wife and the youth minister and his wife.
In between our visit and dinner we stopped by David’s
grandparents’ house. Nobody is living in it right now, so we only got to see
the outside. We also stopped by the cemetery so he could show me where some of
his family is buried. We did the math and it has been at least eight years
since David has been to Corpus. We went to the aquarium, toured the USS
Lexington, spent about an hour on the beach because I was cold and did some
shopping.
It was really nice to get out of town for a few days. Today
we relaxed and didn’t do a whole lot at home. Sunday David is preaching in
Coldspring, so we’ll be heading out there tomorrow afternoon.
Here’s a picture of us from our trip:
