A bit about Asher

This post is all about Asher. Asher was born in Oklahoma but moved to Colorado when he was about a year old and has lived in Colorado since. Asher is number 4 of 10 boys, talk about a lot of noise and chaos. Family gatherings involve a lot of people, more noise, and a lot of fun.

Growing up Asher could usually be found outside riding on his bicycle. He enjoyed making jumps and finding obstacles to test his skills on his bike. His adventurous activities have left him with many scars and stories behind them. While his adventurous side has been tamed quite a bit, Asher still loves to ride. He finds joy in driving to the mountains and trail riding whenever he can.

Growing up with so many brothers, Asher has many stories to tell of the shenanigans he and his brothers got into. There are stories of outside games of hide and seek that left him with scrapes and scratches from his mothers bushes, or left his mothers flowers trampled. There are also the stories of the many injuries he and his brothers were left with from playing too hard.

Asher and his family traveled to Oklahoma at least once a year to visit the family still remaining there. He has fond memories of his time in Oklahoma visiting his grandparents and aunts and uncles. We have decided to make a trip out to Oklahoma once a year so we can make our own memories visiting Asher's grandparents and aunts and uncles. We look forward to our trips out there every year. We will be going next week for our annual trip and are so excited to go. This year we get to go for a celebration in honor of his grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. This is especially exciting because nearly all of the family will be there, giving us an opportunity to see some of Asher's family that I have not yet met and Asher has not seen for many years.

Asher now enjoys four wheeling, recreational shooting, biking, searching for ways to improve his car, watching movies with his "wifey" and anything else that allows him to spend time with me (his "wifey"). Movies are an especially favorite past time for us. We have quite a large movie collection, including the Disney/Pixar collection, many Disney movies, all of the Star Wars, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Lord of the Rings movies, and many more.

There is so much more to know about Asher, but this is a start. I have to add that he is a great husband who works hard to provide for us, and plays hard to keep his sanity. Asher loves to have a good time when his work is done. I can't wait to see him as a father, I have no doubt he will be a great father.
