Back in High School?

Aaron and I are officially becoming engulfed in the culture of high schoolers. I mean, seriously, how can we not be when we hang out with them a ton and learn about all the cool gadgets?? So, today we did three things to show we are actually getting younger and not older:

1) Our youth group students are HUGE texting maniacs. I guess, who in high school isn't?? So, we have entered the world of contacting students via texting...wow does it make a difference! We aren't quite as fast at texting as they are, but hey at least we're trying!

2) I got a cell phone today! I know...just a few years behind but I did have a cell for quite a while until we got married and then have not had one for almost three years! Today we added another line finally :) We are having fun with our new phones! Erika's Motorola Krave
Aaron's enV Touch

3) We prank phone called people today! :) Haha...oh my goodness! Who does that anymore?? Since we had a new number that no one knew about, we took advantage of it! Don't worry, we only pranked our parents and a few people who had it coming :)

Tomorrow we are going on vacation and someday soon (maybe!) I'll update on our summer. It has been such a fantastic summer that I hate to see it end! Adios!

We're Back!!!

We're back from our mission trip!!!! Everything went amazing....here's some pics :)Leaving bright and early Saturday morning

Among the hurricane damage that we saw

When we arrived on Sunday we hit the beach right away :)

Monday morning we started our work: drywalling, taping, mudding, and sanding a home that needed repair after the hurricane

Galveston is the most hot and humid place I've ever been. After only a few minutes of working each day, we were drenched in sweat!!

Each evening we had time off to do activities. They included: mini golfing, beach walking, shell finding, shopping, carriage riding, and the funniest....seagull feeding :) One of our students was chased by seagulls and we got it all on video :)

I loved every minute of it...even the hotness...but it does feel good to be home! Speaking of, I better get going so we can celebrate the Fourth of July! Happy Fourth of July everyone!
