To Infinity and Beyond....or at least to NASA and Camping

 Earlier this year Brendan joined a local Trail Life troop and got to go camping a couple of times.  Even though the active year was ending, we were invited to join one of the other families for a camp out at the Space Center in Houston. Since this was not an official event, it was open to the whole family.  Dinner, activities and one-day admission was included, and we were able to camp under the 747 used to transport the space shuttle. 

We had signed up for this camp back in March, but the event was not scheduled to occur until Memorial Day weekend. With Michelle's passing, we were not sure we would be able to go on this trip. However, after talking it over with Brendan and Zaira, we decided that we should go.  Not only that, we found out that our eldest daughter, Amanda, would be flying into San Antonio that Sunday, and that we would be able to pick her up at the airport on our return from Houston.  We did not tell Zaira, because we wanted it to be a surprise, as Zaira had been praying that Amanda would visit us for months.

Life Goes on

I've been meaning to add more to this blog, because it really is about all of our other stuff, and our stuff is still happening. It has taken me awhile to be able to sit down here and write something, but here I am. And our adventures have continued. 

 Since the last post, we have gone camping twice, been to NASA in Houston, been to a birthday party, had a broken arm, enlisted in the Navy and generally have kept living. So...I will be writing about those, in the next few posts. 

 Right now, I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has held us up in their thoughts and prayers. I know that they kept me vertical most days, and have really helped us to make it through. God bless! Michael
