Trip to Austin

Last weekend, Randy and I drove down to Austin for a friend's wedding. Lynn and I were roommates our freshman (and only) year at Baylor way back when. We had so much fun that year and have managed to keep in touch, although not as well as we should. It was so nice to be there for her big day!



It was also nice for Randy and I to get away without the little one for a change. We were able to spend two six hour drives talking and listening to our favorite podcast, Stand to Reason. If you've never listened, you must check it out. Greg Koukl is a top notch Christian Apologist and he offers great insight on all matters related to faith and ethics. He also has great discussions with callers, some of whom are Christians with questions, some who are of other faiths and offer challenges. Anyway, it's always interesting and Randy and I feel strongly that all Christians should be informed about these issues so that they are well equipped to discuss their faith with others.

We also had time to catch a play, some great meals, and work out at the hotel gym. All in all, a fun trip! And Jack had a blast with both sets of grandparents. We looked at it as a bit of a trial run, as Randy and I have a 7 night cruise planned for September and are a bit nervous to leave the little guy for that long. He was happy as a clam for two nights so hopefully that's a good sign!
