the Gaylord Texan

– July 19, 2009Posted in: Fun, Photos

The Gaylord Texan is a Hotel/Resort in Dallas, TX. It is a massive indoor riverwalk that is cooled to a comfortable 72 degrees even on the hot 102 degree day that we went. There was a lot to see there. All kinds of waterfalls and fountains along the river kept things interesting.

We ate at the Riverwalk Cafe which was a buffet style restaraunt with some pretty good food. It is a beautiful place to visit, but I would bet is a bit pricey to stay at..

About Dustin Wright

I believe that God is the absolute most important thing in existence; He is the first and best of all. And is deserving of all of our love. In Him is fullness of joy. Much of my thoughts and writings on this blog are a way for me to think through and struggle with certain spiritual truths where I may continue to fail, or where I see the church as failing. I believe that if Jesus is central in our lives, we will live with love and compassion to the lost and hurting and we will love them like Jesus loved us.

Dustin and Alina:

Im so glad to have found you there is just so much that has been going on with my spiritual its just sooo amazing and God is just so wonderful to me. i had a conversation with God a couple of months ago and He had placed both you and Alina in my mind He instucted me to search for you both. i had no idea how i was giong to be able to find you but yet again there is NOTHING! too great for God. so i managed to get a hold of mark molina about a month after i had this experience with God and i asked him if he knew any thing about the Wright family and it was about another month that i had recieved and answer from him he said the last i heard they moved to texas and at that monment i knew God was guiding closer to you both, so i tried looking for your number in the yellow pages and nothing so i was not discouraged but just at another deadend so i prayed to God and said well God i know there is nothing you cannot do i just can’t do this on my own i really need your help here so at that moment God told me just look them up on google so i did and alas i found you right away i fell on my knees and worshiped God and i knew it was all because of God that i found your website, well i can see i just about wrote a book here but i just had to explain my spiritual expierience on the Wright family hunt so please feel free to contact me when you email me ill leave you my phone number so you both may contact me at any time.
may The lord bless your family and keep you from all harm.

Hello Sally,
It's been a long time, and is great to hear from you. How have you been? I hope all is well with you and yours. What have you been up to? (School, work, etc). We bought a house out here in Texas almost 4 years ago. We really enjoy it here. It's been a wonderful place to raise our family. California is too expensive and crowded! Well, the baby just woke up, so I have to go get him. We look forward to hearing back from you.

sally

I'm glad to hear all is well sorry bout the long story. I just get so excited when I feel God working that I can get very engergetic but thats nice to know that you both are doing well. I am now a licensed massage therapist and I work at the Salavtion Army as a case aide. I work with women who are trying to change their life from chemical dependencies and to get a new fresh start on life.

Alina

That's awesome, it's always wonderful to experience the joy that God can bring to your life when you put him first. We are glad you are doing well. So, are you still living in California, or are you out here in Texas with your family? My family and I attend The Village Church in Flower Mound. We absolutely love it there, The pastor "Matt Chandler" is just awesome. He has such a great passion for the Lord. We are thankful to have been lead there. Are you attending church anywhere?

Hey Sally, good to hear from you. Believe it or not Alina and I talked about you guys recently. We went on vacation to San Antonio and remembered hearing that you guys moved there and wondered where you were. But, like you mentioned, it is pretty hard to find someone once so much time has lapsed. Anyway, I hope you are doing well.

well we are actually in Fort Worth Texas we are on the border of Arlington. we are attending a church right now. i beleive that God has a way of bring the people He needs to do His work together no matter where we may go or what trouble we may be going through, God is always speaking to us and we get so bussy with our lives that arnt even ours that we forget to hear Gods voice or we do hear His voice but we choose to ignore it or what ever elese it could be. well i could go on and on but i can only type for so long ” at work”. but i just love talking about the many wonders of God. im glad to hear that you and your family have been doing so well out here i just love this state. oh here is a coffee house you both should check out here is the info.

Thanks for sending this..We actually have plans to go to Hawaiian Falls with our family that day..I know Dustin has been wanting to see Skillet in concert for a while. We tried seeing them at Six Flags, but got rained out, so Skillet was the only band we were not able to see.
sally

Aww man what a bumber being rained on, well I hope you guys have fun I'll be at work for sure. Oh here is another website you should check out is 897powerfm.com and they have a bulletin board you should check out, let me know what you think.

Alina Wright

Hey Sally. Sorry, I haven't been able to get back to you on that yet. We have had a busy month. I need to talk to Dustin and see what his schedule is like, but the only time we could do it would be on a Saturday. Maybe Oct 24th if that works out for all of us. Let me know if that day works for you, and I will get with Dustin on it. The family is doing great. Although, both kids have double ear infections and Rachael has a sinus infection to go along with that, but they are getting better. Dustin's mom has been in Italy the past 2 weeks, and gets back this Sunday so we are happy she will be home, we miss her. Other than that, it's just work. How are Andy, Irene and Emily doing? Do you live with them, or do you have your own place?

Hey sorry I have not replied. I have been having a lot of work on my plate I actually have a praise report I have been working 12 hr shifts on weekends for the past 6months and its been difficult and God has just blessed me with a mon-fri 9am to 5pm shift so yay!!! I thank God so much He just pulled me through and I’m so joyful for that. Andy and Irene are doing fine one thing Andy lost his job about I’d say going on 8 months now so if you would pray for him he has an interview this week I believe its on Thursday for a post office position we would be thankful we could use the support of all friends and church family. Emily is doing good she is an artist now at the age 12 and has such a wonderful talent she is in the process of writing her very own Japanese manga “graphic novel” she will be turning 13 this month on the 19th wow 13 I still cant believe it myself and for now I am living with Andy and Irene hopefully on Jan. I’ll be able to have enough to get on my feet.
