Beyond the iPhone

So, I am ready to replace my amazing iPhone with the next best thing! I thought they could never beat Apple’s revolutionary gadget… but check out this new level of smartphones. http://www.pomegranatephone.com/

Ok, so it may not be technically “Real” yet… (in fact this site is just a marketing ploy to get you to understand that Nova Scotia is actually a real place) However, they have some amazing new ideas! You will not believe it what they came up with but their little videos help take it from a day-dream to “hey, that could really happen!” I have a feeling these things will be available sometime in the near future.

Christmas time at Cornerstone

It’s that time of the year again! Every December, the Cornerstone staff gets together for a Christmas party. This year we met in the main auditorium since the group has gotten too large for other places. We had such a great time. The food was excellent and Pastor Steve sang with Alvin and the Chipmunks. We also played a game. We competed in teams to see who could make the best Christmas-related photographs. Here are some impressions of that evening.

We have a Nephew!

We finally had a chance to go and visit our newest family member! (Not Pete and more!) So we headed down to San Diego for a quick two day trip. His name is Cannon Ryan Trostrud, and he is the cutest thing on the planet!

We had the coolest flight over. Virgin America Airlines was amazing!


On the last day Bree and Cannon (sister-in-law) made AMAZING homemade chicken noodle soup! We’re talking homemade noodles! Did I say AMAZING yet?

The Fall Rewind

Hey everyone!

It has been quite a while since our last “true” update. So, I thought I would sit down and take a shot at it. Well, as I started realizing that I needed to cover all of fall season! Yikes! It’s been a busy fall with lots of fun and excitement as the weather slowly turned from the 100+ degrees down to a brisk 50’s of the late November. (50’s is cold to me ok!!!)

The fall did not change much from the summer. Since June, Bree and I have been focused on each other. We took this year to really establish our marriage and get used to each other. Fall has also has been a busy time at work. Pete works as the Elementary Program Coordinator for both campuses at Cornerstone Fellowship and Bree as been loving working at a retail store that just so happens to be next door to Cornerstone. So, it’s been busy but a fantastic time with amazing experiences.

But to give you the best picture of what we been up to lately, I couldn’t think of anything better then a video! This video is essentially an overview of our Fall season. We carved pumpkins, held the annual CandyZone 08 (our churches Halloween alternative), took a short trip to Monterey, Pete was able to help out at the first Brentwood campus baptisms, headed down to Apple Valley for Thanksgiving, and decorated our living room for Christmas!!! Wow! I’m exhausted just from typing it all out! Well, enjoy the picture show!

It was time…

Before…

After…
Might have lost 10 years… Why God gave me the face of a 10 year old I may never know. However, when I am 40, I am going to look 20! (Until then… Arrrrgh!)
