English lesson needed!

         Yesterday we took the boat out on the Susquehanna River. We got to a spot where we like to splash, but the river was high, and the current swift. After getting in the water, one of my younger sisters declared that she wanted to "go to the deep shallow part."
         Upon further questioning, I determined that "deep shallow" was a place where the water was about 8in deep; she can walk, and not get thoroughly drenched.

A Week in the Life of Asher

  Hi! My name is Asher!  My mom enjoys journaling to help her process life events. She even used to share her big ideas on this page! Well, since she’s not using it at the moment, I’m going to take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about my life and all its grand adventures so far. Mommy and Daddy say I was in a big hurry to meet them early that Sunday morning, but the real truth is that I had completed all the exploring there was to be had in my previous home. The world out there sounded pretty grand and I was excited to see what it was all about. I guess it wasn’t real nice to daddy because he had worked really hard during the day before I was born and was pretty exhausted. He doesn’t hold any hard feelings though.

They commented on the length of my fingers, how much hair I have, and whether I look like Daddy or Mommy. I did find the commen...

Wedding Things

Well hello and welcome back to my little space of the internet! The short hiatus dragged out much longer than I anticipated:) Anyway..... Martina (who probably checks my blog for updates the most) says I should hop back on here and stay for awhile. So, I'm here. I don't know how long or consistantly I will visit, but. . . . She also said I should blog about our wedding. I like that idea:) *** Friday afternoon we set up the reception, held at Maranatha. We had lots of help from our families and it went quickly and efficently.  Janette did a really good job on my flowers! Time for rehersal! Early the next morning, Austin came to pick me up from my parents house for the last time before we were married. We had our first look in the back yard of my parents AirBnB. Of course we had to take a picture where it all started:) My Family Sisters!😊 Austin's Family Left to right: Austin's brother Anthony, Austin, Brian, and Michael Burkholder (Best Man)  Kayla (Maid of Honor; Aus...
