Also at the end of May, we had the Journey Finale for Peake Youth. This year Steve and I got involved in this ministry at our church and it was amazing! I was the leader of the 10th Grade girls, and Steve had the 10th Grade guys. In my opinion...Peake Youth is the heart of our church. Check out this video to see what God is doing in this youth ministry! If you look closely...towards the end you'll see Steve playing 4-square at Journey

May 2009
The month started out with our friends Frank and Amanda's wedding. We also attended the rehearsal because Steve read two scriptures during the ceremony. The reception was at the Jaycees Hall in Waldorf and it was beautiful.
Mr. and Mrs. DeCanio
The next weekend our former Pastors and best friends Eric and Michele Darr renewed their wedding vows. They've been married for 11 years and have 5 kids! The ceremony was at the Jefferson Memorial in DC, what great scenery! Another treat was we got to meet their Pastor, Mark Batterson. I've read two of Mark's books: In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day and Wild Goose Chase. Even though he's a Pastor and not an actual famous person, I was a little star-struck! Seriously though, I have tons of respect for him and his church NCC.
At the end of the month, we vacationed in NC. We also celebrated my sister Jaclyn's birthday, and my niece Ava's 4th birthday!
Playing catch-up
So I thought I'd have more time for this blog, but I guess it's a little harder than I thought =) Here is a recap of what's been going on with us the past few months, starting with April!
My niece Aubrie's 1st birthday!

Surprise baby shower for our church's Youth Pastors Mark & Tracy
(who had twin boys in June!)
Went to an awesome marriage workshop where we learned more about our personality types.
Lauryn jumped into the children's ministry known as "RainbowLand Park" and helped lead worship. Check out the video for all the craziness that happens on Sunday mornings.
