May

We headed out to Colorado for the Donohue nuptials. It was gorgeous and we had a sweet condo with a sweet view.

And Steph got over her fear of horses, and Ben made friends with a cowboy named Jason.

April

This is what we did in April. Just in general.

March

We went back to the Dominican Republic (Pico Escondido) with these cool kiddos on a work team and sucked at taking pictures.

It's not like we met and got engaged there or anything...

February

Ben wore his best as we settled into our new place and we got snowed in.

Justine came to visit and we toured in the Shaggin' Waggin'.

January

We got hitched.

Por fin!

Then we hit up St. John, which we highly recommend for the best snorkeling we've ever seen.

Corre Corre!

Team Looch has decided to run the Baltimore Half Marathon in October!

Not only have we been feeling like we could get in better shape...but also we talk so frequently about wanting to accomplish things together more often. We we lived in the Dominican we felt like we were working towards the same purpose and working towards the same goals together. Since Steph's been in school the past year, in many ways we've felt like we've had different goals and directions professionally. And as cheesy as it is...running the race together is a great start to accomplishing a shared vision and goal again!

Annnd...training started last night. 2 miles. DONE!

And since we suck at updating our blog...this new pretty set up has gotten Steph motivated and we'll sum up the past 6 months in pictures.

Pedrito turned 3 last week! This was one of the first families I met when I moved to Baltimore and began neighborhood work in the SE.

Pedrito's parents have become very dear to me, as well as his older sister.

Ben and I were invited to the big birthday party which included Salvadorian food, bachata, and of course...the oversized over sugared cake!
