Texas....

Our trip to Texas was great! Our friends Brandi & Aaron live in Lewisville, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Brandi & I have been best friends since our highschool freshman year. We also lived together for almost four years in our late teens and early twenties! They've lived in Texas for the last nine years and I've missed them sooo much! Aaron's immediate family have lived there for 14 years and his sister and I are great friends too. She and I graduated highschool together from a small christian school. Saige had such a good time, he wanted to stay and told us several times that we need to move there.....someday......maybe....who knows what all God has in store for us. It was seven years since we've been out there last, actually it was for Christine & Dan's wedding - almost to the day! (their pic is below). Brandi & Aaron come back to Fort Wayne once or twice a year to visit their family that still lives here and we when we see them it's a very short visit. This is the most we've been able to sit around and talk for seven years (face to face)....I think we might try to save the money every year so this will be our annual trip!! They all have such beautiful families too - and they all love the Lord so much - it shows in every thing that they do and how they live! It was great to see how God's worked in all of their lives and how faithful they are! We visited their church on Sunday and it fit us so good, along with all of their friends! Below are some pictures - I posted quite a few but in reality I took over 200! I miss my B! I miss Christine too! I cried pretty hard when we left...God has blessed me with such great friends! Downtown Dallas - from The Dallas World Aquarium parking lot.

We went to Medieval Times - we were cheering for the red/yellow knight. There is one in Chicago too!
