They Flew Through The Air With The Greatest of Ease

Let me explain.  For my birthday I wanted to do something different.  Not the traditional dinner and a movie -I wanted to push my comfort zone.  A friend of mine had told me how she had done a trapeze class and THAT was what I wanted to do.  So, I went online and bought both Brian and I a session together.  At Trapeze Austin we did far more than we ever expected to do -ending with being caught in mid air as we swung from our knees.
WOW.
I mean, WOOOOW.
Definitely worth a try, folks.  You're safely harnessed, but it feels like a daring do.
Simply exhilarating!
(Brian will probably make me sleep outside for posting his video.  His excuse is he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, expecting to end in a flip.  Oh, it made us laugh quite a bit...

Oh, The People You'll See: The Coolest Family in the U.S.

Most of you who read this are probably already familiar with the coolest family in this great United States of America, but for those few of you who aren't acquainted with the Kings, allow me to introduce you.  George is a pastor, Crystal his amazing ministry side-kick. Speaking of side-kicks, George is also a black belt in judo and in a matter of days a black belt in jiu jitsu.  Talk about a kick-butt pastor.  Crystal not only is his right hand (wo)man, she is also the mother of 6 -all of which she home schools, and the queen of friendliness and hospitality.  This family exudes grace and love -and life.  I mean, in a household that firmly believes that everyday is a party, how can you not have life spilling out?

For our first family vacation in 2 years, we drove from Georgetown, Texas to Escondido, CA for a California visit.  Splitting our time between visiting these beautiful folks (pst, she's my sister -may have already seen the resemblance) and adventuring up the CA coast ending in San Francisco.  I have more photos of their growing family farm to share with you (ooooh, I can't wait!) but for now, here are some quick shots we took on our last full day together.  I am so in awe of my sissy and her fam -so proud of what they continue to build and the lives they touch -so blessed to be included in that innumerable bunch.
