Worship, Travel and Wedding Plans

Danielle and I have been very busy in the past few weeks (as any of you who have planned weddings can imagine). Between monthly trips to Calvary Chapel Ojai for our pre-marital counseling with Pastor Dan Nelson and his wife Shelly and family road trips we’ve both had our plates full.

While we were down in Ojai two weeks ago, Danielle and I had the pleasure of leading worship. To hear a song from our set, click here! Note: you can download the file by right-clicking and selecting “save linked file as…”

We have a great time singing together. Let us know what you think of our music! If you are a record label executive we would be happy to discuss signing on to your label ;)

As I mentioned, we’ve both been traveling quite a bit. In addition to our monthly trips down to SoCal, I just got back from a 5-day road trip with my brother, Alden. We drove out to Colorado Springs, CO for the Focus on the Family Institute Reunion. It was a great drive out there (we put about 2,500 miles on my car) and was fun to reconnect with friends and see what everyone is up to.

While Alden and I were gone, Danielle had her bridal shower. I would love to post pictures here, but haven’t seen them yet… The only thing I know is that they had a lot of fun. If you want to find out more about the shower, you’ll have to ask Danielle or one of the attendees.

Danielle took a weekend trip with her family to Fort Bragg, CA (not to be confused with Fort Bragg, NC) a few weeks back. They had fun hanging out in town, visiting the Spunky Skunk toy store and relaxing on the beach. Right now, she is up in Oregon visiting her Aunt Amy with her brother, Nathan.

That’s about it. We’re on the countdown to the wedding — less than 3 weeks to go!

I’ve been busy!

The past few weeks I’ve been very busy creating websites (a little extra money comes in handy when you’re getting married!). I have created the following sites:

• String Bead’s website
• Augustino LoPrinzi’s website
• My mom’s website, UkuleleTonya.com

I’ve also been working on a website makeover for the Butte Fire Safe Council. I am really excited with the new look and can’t wait to finish placing the copy. I’ll keep you all posted!

We have a date—invitations soon to follow!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that Danielle and I actually have a date and location for our wedding. We will be married on the afternoon of August 19th at Craig Memorial Congregational Church in Paradise, CA.

We’re working on the invitations and they will be out soon…

For those of you coming in from out of state, please email me so we can coordinate travel plans (and minimize runs to Sacramento Airport).

Another College Graduation!

We had a wonderful surprise a few weeks ago. Danielle met with her college guidance counselor to find out about transferring her credits to Ventura Community College. The counselor told her that she had enough credits to graduate that Friday with an Associate of Arts degree.

At this point one may ask how it is possible for someone to not know that she could graduate. In fact, I asked myself the same question. As it turns out Danielle had been working on a dual major and thought that she had to finish both degrees at the same time. Ergo, on May 26th at 7:00 P.M. Danielle walked out on the field at John Cowan Stadium to graduate in the Butte College Class of 2006.

Congratulations Danielle!

Graduations pictures coming soon… I promise…
