Texas New Year

We descended upon my niece and nephew's place in Houston along with my sister, Gaydene and her family.  Trevor and Jodi were most gracious hosts, and had 25 people for dinner on New Years eve.

Trevor had this great idea to go paintballing.  Who you may not know are Danielle, Trevor, Emily, Abigail ( who we didn't let play because she would have an unfair advantage being such a small target ), and Bill - the reluctant, who played so we could get a group rate.

 We're pumped....

We're psyched.....

We're ready......

 ....We're seriously bruised and we don't trust anyone.  I'm not smiling here, I'm wincing.
Whatever people tell you, a paintball hit from inside of five feet really stings, and the bruise lasts for 9 days and counting.

Now it was time for some golf.

 Jade, Emily and Janna vs Trevor, Jake, James and I in a best ball 9 holes.

 We used 4 or five of Jake's  putts and one T shot, and we shot par!.....

 but the girls were up for the challenge and they beat us by two strokes.

Paintball hurts way more than losing at golf.

We have the opportunity to attend Lakewood church with Pastor Joel Ostien.  This is the largest church in America.  I got to visit with a grounds administrator, and he's one of the 3000 people on staff at the church.  So far we're not really planning on going there, but it would be kind of cool to worship with over 12 000 others at once. Tori did go with Bill and Gaydene and assures me there were about 15 000 in attendance at the middle morning service.  She said it didn't really feel like a church because it was a huge stadium and they were near the top.  She did enjoy it though and there was one song she knew.

On a completely different note, Herc needed a new window, and when you know Trevor, you can find out where to get the job done well for $120 plus tax.   I tella you what....WoW!
