Our Visit To Texas

Our trip to TX went very well. We had a safe and uneventful time up (besides getting very tired of being in the car ;) ), and spent almost a week with Mom's sister and her family. This was the last chance we'd get to visit them before our cousin (their only child) got married, so we decided to take advantage of it, and spent New Year's with them. We had a good time - it was kind of rotten though, because Trissy and I both had bad colds, and were trying to "keep them to ourselves", and that was a little tricky, but we had fun anyway :)
I know I said I'd post "about our visit", but there really isn't that much to "post" about! We basically just relaxed: played games, watched a couple of movies, and enjoyed a break from the hectic-ness (if that's even a word :) ) of our 'regular lives'. It was nice.

One other thing though. On the way back, we got stopped on the highway in a crowd of traffic, and sat there for almost an hour. We could see blue lights up ahead, but nothing else. Then a helicopter flew over and landed up there on the highway. When we finally got moving again and our car got up beside it, we saw it was a wreck, and y'all, the car was so smashed and crushed that it seemed almost impossible for anyone to have gotten out alive. But we knew they were at least alive, 'cause the helicopter had come and airlifted them out. That was some consolation. I have no idea how to find out what eventually happened to them, but I would appreciate it if you would pray for the person (or persons) who were in that wreck, that if they were not saved, that it would serve as a wake-up call, and they would live long enough to accept Christ, and even recover fully so that they would have a longer life to live for Him.
