As the serious chill of winter is upon us, one of the colder winters on record (don't worry proponents of global warming, those pulling the strings on the theory have already rushed to declare that this year will be cooler, an anomaly in the cataclysmic melting of everything) I thought I would belatedly share some pictures from our Thanksgiving vacation with Kristen's family.
Growing up in Ft. Lauderdale, I had watched the sun rise on the beach many times, but sunsets over the beach were much rarer for me, so all the more reason for me to enjoy sights like this.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time down there...despite the fact that I was studying heavily for my Greek final, it was great to relax and not have very much to do. 
Sadly, not all of Kristen's sisters were able to join us for Thanksgiving, but we had a great time with Tiffany...she's the other set of legs in this picture (the first set being my wife's).
I am blessed to have a great relationship with my in-laws, and while we were down I was able to sit down over coffee with Larry, my father-in-law, to talk ministry, theology and everything else. I always enjoy our time together, and his wisdom from years in the ministry gives me perspective that I often lack with my passionate but untested ideas.
Throughout the trip our biggest constant was the ocean...we visited three times in the five days we were there, and several nights headed over to the clubhouse to take a dip in the pool and hot tub after dark. This, combined with an excellent Thanksgiving dinner, made the whole trip very peaceful.
As for Kristen and I, it was probably the most quality time that we had spent together since the semester started, and it was very good for us. Here are a few pictures of me and my lovely wife to close out this post.
