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!)

A loss of appetite

Bree and I were watching the food channel and we were loosing the battle of watching chocolate being made vs. not eating it!
So, Bree ran downstairs and grabbed the Milo that her parents brought home for us from Papua New Guinea! I was really excited! Chocolate milk! Yummmmm. But then…. she took a spoon and ATE MILO STRAIGHT!!!
The shivers ran though my bones! “WHAT DID YOU JUST DO!!!” I could not believe it… Then she blamed the habit on her childhood! Then it was “Everyone did it when I growing up! Really?!?!? I must have missed that memo …Weirdos… 🙂
…Almost as bad as my boss who eats his Toast with butter and chocolate sprinkles…. Oh the Dutch…

Bree and I had a free day and after coming off of a rather busy few weeks we decided to take a road trip!

We walked out of our front door, looked at Mount Diablo, and said “let’s go to the top!” So we did! Here are a few pics from our journey.

We even had Lunch with a View!
