Christmas

Christmas has come and gone...once again. This year we travelled to my parents in Indiana. Unfortunately there was no snow...only rain. But, we had a good time nonetheless. We were there for an entire week so I got to get some of my paperwork and meetings done for my ordination process...which is a relief. I had to take a psych exam as part of the process. That should be interesting.

As always...I failed to take many pictures. I like to enjoy moments rather than see them through the lens of a camera so I often opt not to take pics. I do have some pictures of the Dolphins game that we went on New Year's Eve (thanks to Scott and Nikki - my brother and sister-in-law). During halftime we were able to go underneath the lower deck to a special area for people in our section (we had good seats). There was a long glass wall. On the other side of the glass wall was the Dolphins' locker-room. We were just a few feet from the players. It was really quite awesome.

When you have been a fan for 21 years and are as passionate as I am...being five feet from Jason Taylor, Zack Thomas, Ronnie Brown, and of course Chris Chambers...you are in your own little heaven. Melissa was excited too. She was most excited when Channing Crowder (LB) gave a thumbs up to her through the glass. Here eyes were as wide and as full of life as I have ever seen them. It may sound stupid but it was a time that neither of us will forget.

The pics from the game were taken on my new 35mm camera (better zoom). So hopefully, I will be able to get them developed and posted at a later date.

Here are some pics of Melissa opening her new golf clubs on Christmas morning.
