December 2022 - February 2023

Hello Friend!

It's been a while since I've written an update. I had most of December and January off from school, so I got to spend some wonderful time with family. Here's a few pictures from the past couple of months. 

We celebrated Christmas on Saturday since Sarah had to work on Sunday. My aunt and uncle came over for breakfast, and we enjoyed their company for a few hours. Their dog Harry loves my dad's motor bike. He's the cutest pup - he chased it around, and Gracie chased him. 😀



I visited my favorite place - the beach- a few times. The views never get old.

At the end of January, my mom, sister and I took a road trip back up to college. We stopped in the city of Marianna, and found a park to walk in. The water flowed from the dam, and though bubbly, it was very clear. We could see the bottom of the stream. 








How I love quiet country roads.


Interesting cafe...I can see why it's closed. 😅

I'm thankful for flowers from friends that brighten our lives. 

This week at college, the students are enjoying the Bible conference. It started Wednesday and runs through Friday. It's a concentrated time to focus on God's word. We get to hear a lot of messages by a variety of preachers. Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely time of fellowship and games at the picnic. The theme was Western Roundup. There was ax throwing, bull riding, nerf gun competitions, corn hole, kite-flying, hayrides, and many other activities for the students and guests to enjoy. 


I'm in my second to last semester of college, and it's quite busy. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post, but I hope to pop in once in a while. :)



How is your year going so far? Share in the comments!

  1. Hi, Ashley!
    I'm delighted to make friends with a younger person here in Blogland. Sounds like college is going well for you, and I do adore the photos you have shared here. For my part, I'm a grandma who wishes her granddaughters lived closer, but looking forward to seeing them all over spring break. Right now, I'm dealing with a (thankfully) mild case of Covid, but the only side effect so far has been fatigue. Things could be worse!
    I'm so grateful that the Lord is looking out for me, as I know He is for you. Great to get your update!
    Blessings!

    1. Hi Martha!
      So glad to make your acquaintance. I'm sure it must be hard to live far away from your grandkids, but I am really glad you get to see them soon. :)
      Yes, the Lord is always so good, even in the hard times. Hope you are feeling better!

  2. Hi Ashley;
    i am happy to hear from you. Thank You for sharing the beautiful scenic photos. I have been busy decorating for ST.Patrick's Day. Of course we are in the beginning of Lent,so I have been trying to do some extra prayers. I'm in the first part of the Abigail Adams book. It is about her and her two sisters. Soon i will read a few Irish books.
    God Bless

  3. Hello, sweet friend, So happy to see a post from you and to enjoy the lovely photos. I miss going to the beach. I love living in the mountains, though. Sometimes it is hard for me to figure out which one I love more, they are both so wonderful and I feel closer to God in both. I hope your last two semesters at school are your best ever. God bless you continually.
