Steve Gets Married! - June 6, 2008

I married Nina on June 6, 2008! What a wonderful day that was. Most of the immediate family joined us at The Worthington Inn for the ceremony and an intimate dinner. We put the event together in about 6 weeks from start to finish. Of course it helped that Nina is a wedding planner, my Dad a pastor, and brother and sister in law, Dave & Karla Banks, wedding photographers! So with my connections in music we are somewhat connected to the wedding business. We were married under a Chupah, an old Jewish Tradition which signifies God's protection over us. Nina & I are strong Christians but love the traditions of the Old Testament. We then traveled to San Juan to board a Royal Carribean Cruise Ship. We went to Barbados, St. Lucia, St Marteen, St. Thomas, Antigua and St. John, our favorite. Cinnamon Bay on St. John is the most relaxing, beautiful place we've ever been to. After we got off the ferry a local told us about this fantastic rib place so we enjoyed the best ribs we've ever tasted on Cinnamon Bay....wow, that is living! Can't wait to go back there!

Christa Graduates from High School

June 1, 2008 was a landmark day for my beautiful daughter Christa as she graduated from Worthington Christian High School! I was so proud of her but is seems she grew up way too fast. Where did that time go anyway?....all those days where time was short and I thought I had another day to spend with her...now here she goes spreading her wings of independance.... but time marches on and I am so proud of her character, commitment to Christ and her amazing piano talent. She will be off to Grove City College in PA in Aug. and is taking up Engineering. You never know, someday she could be designing the next jet airplane!
