So a few weeks back our Youth Group had a pool party to kick off the beginning of summer. We had some rockin' good times. Thanks to my handy dandy little camera, I was able to capture some of the action.

We also celebrated Daniel's 18th b-day party (see the cake in the pics). We had s'mores, sat around the fire and then watched the American Idol finale - natch! (Note: Cook rocks!) Overall, it was a great time of bonding and fellowship.

It's official...
Believe it or not, during these past few weeks Jason and I have been planning our one year anniversary. First, let me explain the background information before I tell the story.....
So a while back we were discussing the fact that I had a birthday in September, graduation in December and we were facing a first anniversary in August. What we ended up deciding was to take a huge trip over the summer and kind of wrap all of these celebrations into one. Originally, it was supposed to be a suprise (which some of you may know). But since then, we had the unfortunate experience of having Jason's Buick stolen, which had a rather significant impact on our finanical situation. So the original plan was no longer possible. BUT we came up with a really great alternative.
So without futher adou, I present our official destination for our very first wedding anniversary....

That's right. The happiest place on earth. We fly out on Saturday August 16th and return Friday August 22nd. We have three days at Disneyland, one day at Universal Studios, and one day of rest. While the trip itself is exciting, we really want to keep focused on the fact that all of this is for the Glory of God. We want the trip to focus on what God has done for us in His loving compassion and mercy in brining us together in marriage.
Having said that, I CANNOT wait to ride the redone Space Mountain!!! Oh, and Screamin' California - the best rollar coaster ever.
We will update you all more as more details come about. But for now, the trip is booked and the vacation time at work has been requested. We're clear to go.
Disneyland....Here we come!!!

News and such...
Since its been a while since we've done any significant posting here, I figured I'd do a quick update...
These past few months for us have been great but busy. It is amazing to think that this Sunday (5/18) we will be celebrating NINE MONTHS of wedded bliss. Time really does fly when you are having fun! In short, we've been preoccupied with helping co lead the Jr High/High School bible study at church, which has been such a fun blessing. It has been an adjustment for the both of us and just managing to get all those kids (young people, I should say) together at once is often a challenge as far as logistics go, but even still it's really been something that has helped us grow both individually in our faith and as a couple. Especially with the prospect of full time ministry such a promanante reality.
Speaking of ministry, a quick update on the seminary situation: Yes, Jason is still planning on attending seminary full time this coming fall. The plan is for him to attend Cornerstone Seminary and commute down to Vallejo for classes. He is still working on his self taught study of biblical greek, but it looks like it will take him four years to get his Masters of Divinity. Regardless, it's still the plan. He should be sending in his app soon.
Since we are in fact planning on taking on this huge financial burden come September we made the decision this week to sign another lease on our humble (read - tiny) two bedroom apartment, since it is more than apparent that even with Jason working part time his first year of seminary it will be all that we can afford. So unfortunately we are stuck here for the next tweleve months dealing with the hassles of apartment life (small quarters, no parking, crazy neighbors, etc.) but I believe this is a tiny preview of the sacrifice that goes along with ministry that we should expect in the future...meaning the rest of our lives. So with that said, if its for the work of God, we are happy to stay here as long as necessary.
On a happier note, Drake is doing well! A few months back he hurt his front right paw and after a rather hefty vet bill we found that he didn't break any bones and gave him some medicine. Otherwise he's perfectly happy and healthy! He's growing everyday and I dare say he is full grown now. In fact, he grew so fast so quickly that we are starting to wonder it this estimated D.O.B. they gave us when we adopted him is accurate. He seems to be a year now, but it was estimated that he is now only ten months. However, it could just be that he is fed well! :)
As seen in the pictures below, back in March we visited San Francisco and saw Pier 39, the Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe it or Not (all firsts for Jason). It was a nice romantic day trip for us and in a few weeks we both have Memorial Day off (my first paid state holiday ever!) so we are tyring to decide what we want to do for that day.
That's all for now! More later!

New Years Eve Video
We did a short video on New Years Eve...Just for fun.
This has been an amazing and crazy year for both of us. I was thinking about the last year earlier and I was really surprised to think about all we've done and all thats happened in 2007.
1. We both graduated.
2. Got married and took a honeymoon.
3. We both moved out of our parents houses and moved in together.
4. We had our first halloween, thanksgiving and christmas as a married couple.
5. We adopted our first pet.
6. Last week Jason accepted a new job after working for Home Depot for almost 4 years.
The list goes on. Needless to say, this has been a huge year for both of us - as a couple and as individuals. And it was great. We can only hope that 2008 is just as great!
Best wishes to everyone in the new year!
With Love and In Christ,
Jason and Sarah
