On the lighter side....
 

I'm going to Silsbee, Houston, and Galveston, next Friday on vacation with my hubby and the kids.

I've worked my tail off and I deserve a few days away.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what to do?

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Why Houston??? it's a swamp @ this time of the year.

Galvastan is very run down - no offense to the Houston
folks but I wasn't impressed at all. the water is murky
and brown.

Why not go to Branson, Orlando, California, or camping?

Sister, tell your husband he's missed around here. He made a lot of good posts back in the day. In fact, one of his posts went a long way to helping me let go of the bitterness that got hold of me after I left the uc crowd I had been associated with. Have fun on your vacation! :)

Re: On the lighter side....
 

I'll tell him. That will make his day.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Because we are going to preach for Steadfast. Also, my kids love Bro. White and his family.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

oh okay, I thought you was just going there as a vacation
destination.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Tell him Timmy misses him, too. . . . Hmmm. On second thought....

:whistle

We love the Beaumont area and we are going to be with the Whites. We gave the boys choices of what to do and they chose to go be with the Bishop and his family.

They treat better than we deserve to be treated and always have so much fun. They are awesome people.

I want to go to Houston to shop and eat at Fogo De Chao!!!

I love that place it's awesome.......I only have to wait 6 days.

Also, not too sure if this is a good thing or not.....:evilglee I get to meet Dan Christensen and his good wife. (his wife is good, not too sure about him.:ursofunny)

Does he have you on speed dial now?:D

Re: On the lighter side....
 

ummmm........NO!!!!!

But, pray for my husband, cause he has him on speed dial and we FREQUENTLY receive calls from his phone.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Be thou comforted..................................:lol

Re: On the lighter side....
 

I do pray you all, you and the Whites are fine people & you are in my prayers.

Glad you are able to get away.

Beware of meeting The Reeeeeeverand undertaker CHRISTIANen lol
:ursofunny J/K
Yea I'm aware that there is a big get together going on down there
and I think that's probably better for the kids and the entire family.
Isn't there a youth camp going on to?? That may have passed
already not sure.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Galveston obviously means a trip to the beach. Go a couple hours before sundown - there's less cellulite on display and the angle of the setting sun will make your pictures more dramatic.

Some places you can have a cook out around a campfire on the beach at night. That's way cool for the kids.

Have a great trip.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

John Robert had a fit the other day and said, "Dad, do you always have to preach? We'd like some time to.......have fun you know. We don't have to be "HOLY" all the time. We need time to be ourselves."

We like to have killed over laughing. He was so serious. It was a HOOT!!!!!

We'll be doing some fun stuff mixed in with the preaching. We'll go swimming in the ocean, going shopping, horseback riding.....that kind of thing.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

I introduce Kristin to that joint a couple weeks ago. I love that place!

Have fun. In lieu of short pants have the brethren roll their pants up a bit - it's the same thing. :)


Have a great time.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

That is funny - something how they can just up and say a
mouth full like that and if YOU laugh they get HIGHLY offended :ursofunny
' remember saying things like that to my Dad too lol
we combined a lot of vacations with church events

I think you all would really enjoy Northern CA. if you
ever came out this way

Re: On the lighter side....
 

have a good time! love you.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

There is an awesome Mexican restaurant in Galveston where the main street ( if you stay on I-45 and pass the Strand) intersects with the Seawall. It is on the left at that intersection and I believe is in a white building. It has rooftop dining and some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. We stay at a Bed&Breakfast there at times.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Hope you have a great time in my hometown. And you and your husband are missed by me on AFF.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Lady--
Hope you have a wonderful trip and have fun with the Whites. My brother is in Samoa preaching, so I doubt if he'll get to join you. I know he would enjoy it though.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

This post is hysterical!!! Drama Alert?!?!?! Coming from the Mr Drama himself?! He throws a fit every time someone has anything drama wise go on yet causes or brings up more drama than anyone else possibly ever could on this forum! Oh well guess thats why we love him!


Sis CS... yall have a wonderful time!

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Actually, Dan is MUCH more dramatic than Mark could ever be. I know that sounds funny, but have had some contact with Dan the last few months and let's say....Marky couldn't hold a candle to Danny. (No offense meant to Dan, he knows he has a flair for the dramatic.!!!):whistle

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Remember Thad's Tab??? lol I'm not as dramatic as I use to be
simply because IM NOT ALLOWED TO BE!! I got spies everywhere
watching my every move BUUUUUUUUUT If I was allowed to be
my ole self I'd give Danny boy a run for his money let me tell ya :ursofunny ANNNNND I denied the privilege of joining the
clique crew over at JPs so Ya'll have fun without me- I'm stuck
here with all the XPennys :club

Re: On the lighter side....
 

You can also tell him that for me also.
I've enjoyed his posts (even though I did not agree with some of the things he wrote).
I miss him and his words of wisdom.

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Did CS actually crack a smile?

Re: On the lighter side....
 

too funny but it really doesnt surprise me LOL! :dance

Re: On the lighter side....
 

Yes sir, he was rolling on the floor (almost) laughing his head off. It was really funny. John Robert was most upset to think that his "vacation" was going to be interupted by preaching.

It was too funny.
