Back from the holidays

No, we haven't quit the blog. just took a 2 week vacation. It was such a blessing being with our families - celebrating Christmas, playing cards, watching movies, playing charades, talking, & doing a lot of eating! What a gift from god our family members are!

We also got to be a part of the wedding and reception of our good friends Mark and Katherine. Rarely does a wedding so consistently and clearly honor Christ as well as this wedding did. We were encouraged throughout the entire celebration. And we also got to reunite with some good friends. We forgot the camera, but stole some pictures from friends.

Everyone in this picture was in China together for the 2006-2007 school year (except Katherine)

First dance as Mr and Mrs Ashbaugh
