Thomas Team in Texas

A blast from the past: Silly Christi, age 4 1/2, 2002<


With thousands of dollars being spent last year alone on airline tickets to get Christi to Philadelphia for her care, there were sad times when her situation rapidly changed and tickets had to be cancelled or changed at the last minute. Sometimes we were able to change these for other flights or get a credit issued sometimes were just out of luck. In the midst of trying to get things wrapped up I came across a paper I had stored in a fire proof box which had a credit of nearly $1,000 from our ticket cancellation last January 4th. If not used by January 4th it would turn into zero $$$. I called the airlines to check the status and then called Melissa to see if we could fly to Texas to visit for the weekend and she replied, “OF COURSE!” with great joy. The price was right (already paid for and soon to expire); so we left after work last Friday and we returned home at midnight. We thank the Bakers for opening up their hearts and their home to us. Shayla got to go to her first Chick Filet (sp?) and we also visited a great science center which was free thanks to our great COSI pass. (The Heard Science Center in McKinney - very nice!) Saturday night Melissa and Mark treated us to a fabulous Tex-Mex restaurant and Sunday we really enjoyed attending service at their incredible church. We had a glorious time with our Ohio turned Texan fans – the Bakers!
