Annual Hindes Rockport Trip!

My parents took all of us to Rockport, TX for our annual trip :)  We had so much fun hanging out as a family!  It was my parents, their 4 children and 4 spouses, 3 grandkids, my grandma, and my sister in law's family.  Needless to say there was always a lot going on.  We went to the beach, played with the kids, talked for hours till 3am one night, had some good seafood, etc.  I'm so glad we were able to do that before we left for Africa.  We made so many great memories that I will never forget!!!  We took TONS of pics so here are a few of my favs...

Thank you mom and dad!!!  We had so much fun!  We will miss all of y'all so much!!!!

Going Away Party!!!

Our sweet friends and family had an amazing going away party for us a few weeks ago.  We also had some friends in from Dallas for a few days.  We had it at Jerrod's brothers apartment party room which was so nice and we had plenty of room for everyone.   My friends served appetizers, lasagna, salad, bread, drinks, cake, etc.  Jerrod also shared with everyone a little about what we'll be doing.  Then they all gathered around us and prayed over us.  It was really awesome and I felt the Lord's presence there!  We have been so blessed to have such amazing friends and family around us in Houston.  I can't wait to come back for Christmas and gather together with all of them again :)  Here are a few pics from the party....
