Last night we had our church's annual Women's Christmas Dinner at the Smithville Inn. The message was about hope for the coming year and one phrase that stuck with me is "We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow" That definetly gives me hope for the trials that are sure to come! Here are some pictures of last night!

If you've called me, you've heard a portion of this song. Here is the song in it's entirety. It ministered to me so much the first time I heard it and I still feel the same way every time I hear it. I hope it blesses you as well!

Do you know who you are!?

We went to our friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner @ lunchtime and then drove down to D.C. to be with Yusef. We went to the Smithsonian Zoo which the girls loved, our favorite sushi restraunt and went bowling. The zoo was free except for parking and bowling was $1.00 per game for military, so we had a great time and it wasn't too expensive! We started coming home on Sunday and were stuck in traffic going 5mph for 30 minutes, so we drove back to the base and stayed until yesterday! Ariana took the pictures from the zoo! The first picture is of Yusef's helicopter in the hanger inside of the Reagan Airport! Enjoy!

I finally got this video up of when we went camping. This is our friend Jeff swinging on the rope swing...enjoy!

We went to see the movie Fireproof last night. It is a must see movie for any couple in any situation. Awesome movie! I give it a two thumbs up!!!!!! Click on watch the trailer to see for yourself!

Hey everyone! Our church updated their website and there are a couple of videos with the girls' pictures in it. Here is one of Ariana going to the nursing home to sing and the Atlantic City surf game in July. Ariana is the one in the green dress and then there is a picture of us with some friends at 3:12 of the video! http://picasaweb.google.com/tseitzinger/BreakingBeaconNews#5256284858721248258

Yesterday at church our pastor shared a simple, but awesome story with us...

A little boy made a toy boat and would play with it outside everytime that it rained. One day he lost it. A couple of weeks later he was walking by a pawn shop and he saw his boat in the window. He went into the store and took his boat. The owner asked what he was doing and he said that was his boat and he wanted to take it home. The owner explained to him that he would have to pay for it so he went home and told his parents. They went and bought the boat back for him. He was so happy that he held his boat and said to it:

I made you
You were lost
I found you
I bought you back
I will never let you go

This is exactly what Jesus feels about us. God made us hoping that we would live for him, but sometimes we get lost along the way. Still no matter where we are and how messed up we are he still wants us! Some people come into our lives to help us find our way. Jesus bought us back by dying on the cross for us and once we are trusting in him, he will never let us go!

I took Alexia to the Children's Museum the other day! She loves to play in there. Her favorite thing to do is play in the grocery store!

Ariana had her first soccer game last week Tues. They lost their first game, but won 4-1 yesterday! She is really good and she loves playing!

We went to see Greg Laurie on Friday night in Philadelphia. He is a pastor from California who goes around the country with Harvest Crusade. It was amazing! The bands there were The Katinas, Jeremy Camp & Leeland. It was so much fun worshipping with 20,000 other christians. I didn't get the best pictures, but here are the ones that i did get! If you want to see the video of last nights bands, The Katinas, Toby Mac & Kutless and see the message from Greg Laurie, just go to: http://www.harvest.org/crusades/2008/philadelphia/webcast/player.php?id=127

The first is an awesome picture of Yusef during the airshow! The next two are the demonstration of a SAR (Search & Rescue) Yusef is hoisting the swimmers down!

I took a position doing live marketing/promotional modeling in the beginning of Aug. It is something I used to do in FL part-time and is something I thought I could pursue again! It is so much fun and I love doing it! I've done two for L'oreal Skin Genises and now this one for the Ferrari Challenge promoting De'longhi expresso makers!

Abuela Myrna & Abuelo Rene came up to visit us. They got to see the air show, we went to the shops, boardwalk, rollerskating & visited the casinos. Enjoy the pictures!

Alexia is now potty trained!!! This is the fourth day in a row with no accidents!

Yusef got to fly in the Air Show this year. There were over 700,000 people that came to see it. It was amazing! We got to go to the Borgata the night before and have dinner with the Thunderbirds, Golden Knights, the Air Force and the Air National Guard. Yusef's mom & stepdad came up and were able to see it with us!

We went camping last weekend in PA near Rickett's Glen. It was a lot of fun, despite the thunderstorms and bear scares!!! We took a little hike and saw a beautiful waterfall, the guys had a great time at the pond with the rope swing and we went to a little old fashioned carnival! Enjoy!

We had Ariana's 6th b-day party at our house! There were 11 girls that came and 7 that stayed overnight for a salon sleepover. I did all of their hair and they also got their makeup and nails done! We also did a red carpet fashion show! It was a busy night, but they loved it!

CRAZY HAIR DAY AT CAMP!

We let the girls use our old keyboard to play with and Baxter liked it more than they did!!!



Alexia getting into my makeup!!!



Hollywood!



Ariana jumped off my friend's diving board and swam to the other side with no floaties!!!

Sorry it took so long to get new pictures up! Our computer crashed and we just got a new one! This slideshow is of our recent trip to Washington, D.C. My mom and little sister, Amanda flew in to Baltimore and we spent the night in D.C. with Yusef. We toured D.C. the next day and then drove home. They were here for five days and we were busy the whole time. We had so much fun! Alexia still is asking to go see Grammy and Amanda. I told her they were in Wisconsin and she said, "Well, let's go get em!"
