New Years Eve 15 couples met at church and had dinner, played a couple of games and had a great time! Afterwards we went to our friends John & Ann for the countdown!

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!

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
