I forgot to mention that I went to the Bahamas with Kristi's family a while back. I don't know how I could forget to mention such an amazing experience. It's something that I never thought I would do in life. Not that I don't often dream about where vacation or my job might take me someday, it's just that my list of places to see is very small. I used to think that I'd only be able to hit up a few sweet spots outside of the U.S. before I'd die, and I wanted those to be Italy or Greece (motherlands/nottoshabbyplacestovisit). I can't believe Kristi and I got to spend a week on Paradise Island in the Bahamas! We swam in the ocean, rode water slides, ate conch, saw manta rays, sharks, and piranas, we had a view of the bay from our window, it really was truly unique. One day we rented scooters and toured the mainland of Nassau.
Kristi and I had some good times on that scooter. Good times.
Life in ministry is give, give, give...and fortunately I love giving. I don't know if I'd know when enough was enough if I didn't have God telling me when to take a break. Last year I got chicken pox and poison ivy and I was out for a week.
This time God said, "Take a real vacation...how about Atlantis on Paradise Island?"
I was like, "Sure."
He was like, "You got to go with wife."
I was like, "Sweet."
Then He was all, "You're in-laws are going to pay for it."
I was all, "If you say so."
Kristi and I have started planning our next big vacation...Portland, Maine. I can't wait.
Kristi and I had some good times on that scooter. Good times.
