An update through pictures. . .

-


In between the many calls at work today, I thought of my blog. I used to spew my opinions freely and frequently, but life got busy and I kinda forgot about this little platform. No big opinions or profound thoughts today - just an update on life through some photos.



Strawberry season occupied nearly all my mental capacity for the month of June. We were blessed with a good year, but boy oh boy am I glad that strawberry season is not any longer than it is.




Treated our strawberry pickers to ice cream one day.


 
Martina helped me keep the shortcakes stocked - they definitely were a hit!!






Ended June with summer Bible School. Our theme was aviation




Planting strawberries for next year - we had some wonderful helpers and it went very well!!

Several evenings spent with my family on the river

Campfire/picnic with my favorite person.




Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life;  in your light do we see light.


Psalm 36:9

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

Life Update. . .

This morning I was scrolling back through my blog and reading old posts when I stumbled across a series I wrote last summer: The Dread and Denial of being asked "The Question" . I started laughing as I reread the thread.   Life certainly is interesting these days. Seeing your younger siblings graduate high school and start their full time jobs makes you feel a little strange. Supposedly we grew up enough to do such things now, but I don't know about that! It looked so much easier when I was 12... From my 7th grade perspective, those graduates were so mature and had their lives together!   Yeah, or not!  But they sure made it look so easy.   . . . Maybe I should post a life update. . . and perhaps a brief introduction?   His name is Austin.  I like him a lot:)  He makes me very happy! The picture explains the rest.      The End
