We have been in Granada, here in Madrid, and once they left we went up to Irun for several days to bro. Bonikowsky's church. WHEW!!!! I am tired still just thinking about it:) so after being up and down and here and there and everywhere...I decided to move Sergio to a room by himself...I am praising the Lord and holding my breath trying to decide if it is possible that this is going to be sssooo easy...it is night three with Sergio's crib in the room next door, and we havent had any problem!!!! He has not made a single little peep, no whining or crying, nothing!!! What a blessing;and a sweet little boy that we have.

I remember going with my parents when I was younger ...and I must admit hating it. As a child I was frightened by all the elderly people wanting to touch and hug me; Praise the Lord I see it differently now. The people in the nursing home are often so lonely and at their age living there they rarely see children, but oh how they love them! We went a wk or so ago with several couples from the church to visit a lady who used to come to church when she was able, now she lives in the nursing home. She does not remember much nor can she move around or do much for herself, and she talks very little. However it was so sweet to see the way her eyes lit up at the site of our little Sergio. Of course she was not the only person either, all the sweet elderly people could not stop talking about how cute and sweet he is. I was going to hand Sergio to one of the ladies from the church who went with us and was sitting right beside the elderly lady we were there to visit, as I passed the baby in front of her, she instinctively reached her arms out. If by something so small we can be a blessing, should we not? Not everyone there has the mental capacity to understand the gospel, but what about the ones who do? Hopefully over the years we can explain to Sergio how much these people enjoy children and hopefully he will be able to be a blessing to them:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUzjvsO1X0cNH8ptG9dIPfJTTdr2A77-dFBo_BE-yUXdeLtBl0MgMkainczvmYxBifux2qyoTtrMpivm9zbGGBCB8MZwulfaYW3Bvth7IqeomPvMGOvx5sPjDcHXey_-nx_VX-aCY-cfiy/s1600-h/DSC04967.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330087986054288338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUzjvsO1X0cNH8ptG9dIPfJTTdr2A77-dFBo_BE-yUXdeLtBl0MgMkainczvmYxBifux2qyoTtrMpivm9zbGGBCB8MZwulfaYW3Bvth7IqeomPvMGOvx5sPjDcHXey_-nx_VX-aCY-cfiy/s320/DSC04967.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-91666078268070302812009-04-29T05:11:00.000-07:002009-04-29T05:21:50.140-07:00Iglesia Bautista El FaroGod is so good. We have really been seeing the Lord working here in the church. Although economically the members are struggling, spiritaully the Lord is stirring hearts. The last Sunday of every month we stay after church to enjoy dinner and fellowship. This past Sunday we had 8 people come who were either visiting for the first time or had not attended the church for many months. Praise the Lord.

We have been doing alot of activities at the church, this week the men are painting and this weekend we are having a barbecue so I will try to keep my blog updated a little better, but I make no promises:) Please keep us in your prayers as we serve the Lord here in Alcala.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-71700872900611317982009-04-16T15:25:00.000-07:002009-04-16T15:32:54.871-07:00Salobrena, SpainWe recently had the privilege to go down to the Southern coast of Spain as well as Granada.. here are some pictures of our first day of "vacation"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvUsq_1jC3uwmMCtsFV2ht4Vs2QYwvAOsTfqt4B5BmIBZpzhIdR7YkxFNaRW2G4vsfUW4YKM2N76w7UJTq3WPPJAxwTSfHsDKqKMkV3rN7tqhKjxu4ZTfpCFU-C-5BIxfCkVMhfjPoVSGd/s1600-h/100_0658.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325419504524123906" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvUsq_1jC3uwmMCtsFV2ht4Vs2QYwvAOsTfqt4B5BmIBZpzhIdR7YkxFNaRW2G4vsfUW4YKM2N76w7UJTq3WPPJAxwTSfHsDKqKMkV3rN7tqhKjxu4ZTfpCFU-C-5BIxfCkVMhfjPoVSGd/s320/100_0658.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This is an arabic fortress, the views of the ocean were spectacular...it was worth our 45 min. uphill hike!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFW4jlW4xBBt_GpYic12mqlzGZXJgsVL0B_tdwgv7uEzcXtWGlXNZLoTICLbHP3iCjVJdJ-fkCORK1M7pdTddVKseeQIopu1B0h_O2N_M0I02D0B3i6jpSuRy91SKlRof__KyZ-Cw7uqh3/s1600-h/100_0684.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325419501751978098" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFW4jlW4xBBt_GpYic12mqlzGZXJgsVL0B_tdwgv7uEzcXtWGlXNZLoTICLbHP3iCjVJdJ-fkCORK1M7pdTddVKseeQIopu1B0h_O2N_M0I02D0B3i6jpSuRy91SKlRof__KyZ-Cw7uqh3/s320/100_0684.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />My two hansome gentlemen on the beach!!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPDCBRXQjQyrhOL1gtp7rsBZAoZxtvwikDph0u1kSQv5VyLpppAye7mvXoOWtSuk-rKmmvZL3cJWSJBwniLdkz-2yaurOpIM6OJu4y5fQePzf9u23Zmrq4dIV8DrDj0Et2vyGQnNRyBef/s1600-h/100_0680.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325419500300830754" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPDCBRXQjQyrhOL1gtp7rsBZAoZxtvwikDph0u1kSQv5VyLpppAye7mvXoOWtSuk-rKmmvZL3cJWSJBwniLdkz-2yaurOpIM6OJu4y5fQePzf9u23Zmrq4dIV8DrDj0Et2vyGQnNRyBef/s320/100_0680.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Sergio...ready to catch some rays, actually it was a little chilly:)<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ccFchDDypZUUcakrVBn7tVZ-f8pbgO_yOuuABOVbLTWAaoE3cauRK05NrXE-RbxI0haxw4Q4PBoDAcUV3E5fYlR73cx4Bf3sMWaoxYbl6wH3FcjW7SbSGsihCPHuDIYVjf0P8_A2FNev/s1600-h/100_0657.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325419498488965986" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ccFchDDypZUUcakrVBn7tVZ-f8pbgO_yOuuABOVbLTWAaoE3cauRK05NrXE-RbxI0haxw4Q4PBoDAcUV3E5fYlR73cx4Bf3sMWaoxYbl6wH3FcjW7SbSGsihCPHuDIYVjf0P8_A2FNev/s320/100_0657.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />All of us, with the mountains in the background.

How about we start counting our blessings? ok, so my idea is this... I am going to list 7 things we have seen God do for us lately, and I am going to "tag" seven other people to do the same..."Count your blessings name them one by one, counting your many blessings see what God has done"<br /><br />1. Visits from home...We go to the airport tomorrow to pick up my mom who will be here for 2 wks. And we recently found out my mother-in-law and two families from our home church will be coming to visit in May!!!<br /><br />2. Church services... may sound weird, but I have a hard tiime staying in church, not because I am that carnal, but because we do not have a nursery. So when Sergio cries or is hungry, etc. I miss out. Last week I got to stay in Sunday and wed. evening services.<br /><br />3. Saturday morning prayer...the members of the church in Alcala are meeting every Sat. morning at 9:30 for prayer, God has really met with us each time.<br /><br />4. God's provision...sometimes we forget to thank God for His goodness, Alberto still has not been able to get a job, but God's provision for us has been astounding! We have never been without the things we need.<br /><br />5. Sergio is gaining weight well and growing. Things are settling into a nice routine now, biggest blessing in this one is that most nights the little guy lets me sleep at least 6 hrs straight and sometimes as much as 8!!!<br /><br />6. My husband...is a very dedicated man, it encourages me to see how faithful he is in his daily walk with the Lord, it challenges me to do the same! even when it is difficult it is sooo necessary to have time with God every day!<br /><br />7. Family...when we left the States it didnt seem soooo hard, and I can honestly say I have never really felt alone or lonely, God has provided us with a wonderful church family as well as the blessing of Alberto's family (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, etc.) here. They are all so kind and I am so glad when we are able to spend time with them.<br /><br />Now here are the 7 people I am tagging to do this,<br />Pilar Stark<br />Dani Joy<br />Arancha Staples<br />Ingrid Ingram<br />Deanna Andrews<br />Jill Boyd<br />Juanna Clanton<br /><br />Join in the fun of sharing your blessings!!!:)Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-68413282592971237282009-03-26T10:23:00.001-07:002009-03-26T10:33:23.559-07:00Father's Day and Sergiook....so Father's Day was last Thursday...(I think, it was last week anyway:).It was Alberto's very first ever so I wanted to do something special, but with limited funds etc .... So I ended going for the traditional daycareish art project:) Hand prints and footprints with a poem. Now after years of childcare experience and thousands of handprints you wouldnt think it would be so hard, at least I didnt. But it was!!! I had never done such a project with such a small child. Feet truly were easy but for the hands....we had blue paint everywhere!!! literally, he kept closing his fists , trying to put his hands in his mouth ...I can not begin to describe the disaster it was and the great mess we made, but our result was fantastic:)!!! By the way he had to get a bath afterwards to get the blue paint off!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5B07LyWJatlRcTBT_59Qb063tmfuOoQzwpW76kE0Wn_cr-2gb9-BpMghSW5GXkTPUETo_hHmbsRYL9aiXykgQRBCD5qTronLTct-M_1-Gupbnd5kHRuLZ9UeHQkT82JERhFpFvnS8LqGe/s1600-h/DSC04927.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317548829060919922" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5B07LyWJatlRcTBT_59Qb063tmfuOoQzwpW76kE0Wn_cr-2gb9-BpMghSW5GXkTPUETo_hHmbsRYL9aiXykgQRBCD5qTronLTct-M_1-Gupbnd5kHRuLZ9UeHQkT82JERhFpFvnS8LqGe/s320/DSC04927.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Our art project....we are VERY proud:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRytq14Q5Ii772gtcF8fzPwtQGFNg0M34j6byt1oeQZ8s_LArTi4VA0fIZ6D0UPMmPnwbBpAzSrCUACbRtqqiGDhWp-aYuFqAYGoM2Tptf8qfx68Yclnks5cH4C78k9GnXUPdX8peXLIii/s1600-h/DSC04918.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317548822923583506" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRytq14Q5Ii772gtcF8fzPwtQGFNg0M34j6byt1oeQZ8s_LArTi4VA0fIZ6D0UPMmPnwbBpAzSrCUACbRtqqiGDhWp-aYuFqAYGoM2Tptf8qfx68Yclnks5cH4C78k9GnXUPdX8peXLIii/s320/DSC04918.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I know this post has nothing to do with mommy, and I am only half in the pic since I took it myself but I wanted to post it since Sergio is looking right at the camera:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoiJ6ExsIpp9LKpyXrghNRXdIuhyphenhyphen1fDPpe0Nigghg8AXUdiSMwc31jzDO2YNebeFwik8WFmk4ZofDXTB5ARlmcA7rc8YrJDCPNA-D8y2OZNXxr4N-0j_WpMfscako6vWzR3DnIPZUAjGRE/s1600-h/DSC04556.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317548821845195538" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoiJ6ExsIpp9LKpyXrghNRXdIuhyphenhyphen1fDPpe0Nigghg8AXUdiSMwc31jzDO2YNebeFwik8WFmk4ZofDXTB5ARlmcA7rc8YrJDCPNA-D8y2OZNXxr4N-0j_WpMfscako6vWzR3DnIPZUAjGRE/s320/DSC04556.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Our little gentleman...he LOVES to sit in the corner of the couch and watch everything.(Anyone wanta quess who sent him the bib?)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZrX1kAxRFc4WyW547FLyBybfuu-XzKbQXcxpU3evPNxo_rgCe1GIN1H5c0aH4kmvpeUn_8Sv7wSCGmvL8mtCJu3vTV9Gvj_ZvQLl7iuLGgLrhaLYvfe4p2h6cQnTygmQzXhnZ0exR_sKJ/s1600-h/DSC04555.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317548818399511474" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZrX1kAxRFc4WyW547FLyBybfuu-XzKbQXcxpU3evPNxo_rgCe1GIN1H5c0aH4kmvpeUn_8Sv7wSCGmvL8mtCJu3vTV9Gvj_ZvQLl7iuLGgLrhaLYvfe4p2h6cQnTygmQzXhnZ0exR_sKJ/s320/DSC04555.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />"I dont want to get up yet!!!!"<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_89jKYU4LQ5FwD6kCA48v6UUCqCT4_kN20dGx87hCsMbImaATRlCmxT6mSb17Aq_KfqJMMmiLRB-kNRp_-eAsuJYV5_wnC5tmUrPYerfcldlsOuutOUkOGMbkYNQnwAE6fXtJhoy3rVQV/s1600-h/DSC04554.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317548816537862642" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_89jKYU4LQ5FwD6kCA48v6UUCqCT4_kN20dGx87hCsMbImaATRlCmxT6mSb17Aq_KfqJMMmiLRB-kNRp_-eAsuJYV5_wnC5tmUrPYerfcldlsOuutOUkOGMbkYNQnwAE6fXtJhoy3rVQV/s320/DSC04554.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />How cute is he???</div><div>In other news...I am super excited because my mom is coming next week!!!!!

It makes me super irritated, kinda like fingernails scraping a chalkboard. Just one of those things I can not stand.<br /><br />2-I graduated co-valedictorian of my class. In other words...Although I am a blonde I have an intellectual side:)<br /><br />3-Before coming to Spain I worked in childcare for almost 4 yrs. And I loved it!!! I believe that our future, tomorrow, lies in the hands of the children of today. Having the possibility to influence them for good at such a sensitive age was a great privilege. Now, I pray to be able raise our children up godly.<br /><br />4-Although I grew up in church from like age 3, I was not saved until the age of 11. I had made a profession of faith at age 5, but did not truly understand that Jesus paid the penalty of my sin when he died on the cross and rose again. My mom led me to the Lord and my Dad baptized me. Also, as a little girl I always wanted to be a missionary.<br /><br />5-I was scared out of my mind when I found out we were going to be parents!!! More than moving to Spain. Now I am not so scared but still struck with the great responsibility that our little Sergio will grow up to be ___________, depending on what we teach him.<br /><br />6-I love reptiles. More specifically, frogs..always have. When I was a preschool teacher I had 3 pet frogs, and eventually also a pet turtle. When I got married I had to find new homes for about 80 stuffed frogs, no I am not exaggerating...sniff sniff!<br /><br />LASTLY....<br />7-I was not at all nrevous when I got married. I was elated, to finally be the wife of the greatest guy I know!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-87702811861586222182009-03-18T06:50:00.000-07:002009-03-18T07:01:54.348-07:00I am different nowI just now realized how much I have been influenced by Spanish culture since being here. I do several things in a more spainsh style. Like....ironing! In the States you wash dry and hang the clothes in the closet and iron before you put them on. here, you wash, dry, iron and then hang up the clothes. Both ways have advantages American way you save yourself from staring at the Mt. of clothes to be ironed and avoiding it, but it takes longer to get ready when you go somewhere cause first you must iron...Spanish way you must at one point dedicate yourself to 2hrs worth of ironing, but everytime you get dressed you grab out of the closet nice crisp clothes and are ready to go. Either way I now tackle mts of ironing about twice a week, and my husband and I enjoy always having freshly pressed clothes handy. Also the way we eat...meals here are usually done in courses....a soup or something first then a meat, etc, and dessert. We usually eat that way now. A soup or salad first. And dessert is usually only fruit or yogurt, but anyway. There are also some things in Spanish culture we have chosen not to do...we laughed the other day at the store realizing we are probably the only people who do not buy bread with every meal. In most Spanish household there is daily a loaf of bread to accompany whatever it is you are eating, in our house hold we eat bread at a meal possibly once a week. Another Spanish culture thing I enjoy is walking...what a blessing to be able to take care of most errands on foot....Sergio loves it too cause he gets to chill in his stroller!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-48927898840773021702009-03-18T06:43:00.001-07:002009-03-18T06:49:53.271-07:00Dessert<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPcifMHv4LK6d6HE8AMTaS_KedDhMZmAJaiqO8vm75yDjg691A3qaVLPXbOsgtQqql26TqBfeH90ZhP3GWNb8-qHNk6Sl_t9QQ3k_S395NJeF-HoL8M921WaKAq6q6u1o8BW6GHMu8o6i/s1600-h/DSC04525.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314523252871253586" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPcifMHv4LK6d6HE8AMTaS_KedDhMZmAJaiqO8vm75yDjg691A3qaVLPXbOsgtQqql26TqBfeH90ZhP3GWNb8-qHNk6Sl_t9QQ3k_S395NJeF-HoL8M921WaKAq6q6u1o8BW6GHMu8o6i/s320/DSC04525.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>After Pilar's post everyone's mind is on food. Now I really enjoy to cook, rarely follow a recipe and occasionally mess up big time! This however is a success story. I tend to try making new things when we have company , that can go well or really really bad. Anyway this is a quick easy dessert I made the other day, and it looks really pretty too. You buy tortilla shells cut a banana in half lengthwise(does that make sense?)...roll each half in a tortilla shell...fry it until brown...then serve with whip cream and chocolate syrup. It takes almost no time at all and the fried banana is awesome! oh yeah, and right after you pull it out of the pan from frying sprinkle it with a little bit of white sugar! then....ENJOY!</div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712565920771871246.post-86873577555061959082009-03-13T03:11:00.001-07:002009-03-13T03:14:49.707-07:00Smiles of an Angel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMEBPyerANPcs0ZHWaG7dTC8EXgvgz-c97THydRtE6fzme38aiIPzp83xDqxzrWD_-nyQKQ5q3bS1fkUNAjs8LZxIozHApcuNXcPr8Jtv0_eBw9r2VEC3VZbFm1tbtB1brJjSVWIgYCv7r/s1600-h/DSC04539.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312613525835831682" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMEBPyerANPcs0ZHWaG7dTC8EXgvgz-c97THydRtE6fzme38aiIPzp83xDqxzrWD_-nyQKQ5q3bS1fkUNAjs8LZxIozHApcuNXcPr8Jtv0_eBw9r2VEC3VZbFm1tbtB1brJjSVWIgYCv7r/s320/DSC04539.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyxA7QKT0UQw04Bwg7Duc5dPZwBmvPu1lI2b0XXGrjUz99j6Hp3VtpNenvD6XNBQJBrVPqyUd8LPqtTGwstSKBm6QMzNI8QWkVkt3Zn-WEVICp-gfnVnOLQ_AKGpeN9bCiyOaav1ZuedUK/s1600-h/DSC04532.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312613526885378978" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyxA7QKT0UQw04Bwg7Duc5dPZwBmvPu1lI2b0XXGrjUz99j6Hp3VtpNenvD6XNBQJBrVPqyUd8LPqtTGwstSKBm6QMzNI8QWkVkt3Zn-WEVICp-gfnVnOLQ_AKGpeN9bCiyOaav1ZuedUK/s320/DSC04532.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tUYzc0yUksEeYH4By8Rnom8oCWjlpqjlSk6iyCD58K9-gi6TScj-Zim9wM3m4TpVsfWWiG6_05cpPgeC8NV5h0JQMRo_155laZpkfiRyuyFhfp5r5NPZJp5ZSe6kcpNr15mxDgU7halY/s1600-h/DSC04526.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312613525358779842" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tUYzc0yUksEeYH4By8Rnom8oCWjlpqjlSk6iyCD58K9-gi6TScj-Zim9wM3m4TpVsfWWiG6_05cpPgeC8NV5h0JQMRo_155laZpkfiRyuyFhfp5r5NPZJp5ZSe6kcpNr15mxDgU7halY/s320/DSC04526.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmg2CpL1KEkUQ8nMH4mHAfatzdMrch1Tzr18GqwylytDaTq_LOXnfhuHB-xORXeekrSl43xrc9uutBb8ep3rVuiBjkaJPFmXDQU5vI01RujjAMtH3Yf19d7zwBit5nr4wHbAav0r9Daoa/s1600-h/DSC04512.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312613519261035314" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmg2CpL1KEkUQ8nMH4mHAfatzdMrch1Tzr18GqwylytDaTq_LOXnfhuHB-xORXeekrSl43xrc9uutBb8ep3rVuiBjkaJPFmXDQU5vI01RujjAMtH3Yf19d7zwBit5nr4wHbAav0r9Daoa/s320/DSC04512.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Some of the first smiles we have been able to get pics of.... could he be cuter???

This picture is only about four yrs ago. But on a day like today...March 13th SEVEN yrs. ago, a cute young man asked me to be his girlfriend; he did have some help...a friend of ours Johnny (who is now with the Lord) called me over by the guys, and said..."Ashley, Alberto has something he wants to ask you... right Berto???" And the love story began...or whatever you call it at 15 and 16 yrs old. The first yr we celebrated every month like it was a great milestone...:) Now 7yrs later so much has changed, yet so much is still the same...we are older (wiser??? more mature????), bigger, married (obviously) yet still so much in love! I thank God He brought us together!Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11715952602367366595noreply@blogger.com3
