Hello, my name is Ashley & meet me- again... a bad blogger these days!
Ya'll, my life has been so extremely busy that I don't even know where to start. I have found myself looking for ways to make some extra money for the Holiday's being a tree decorator, being with sick family members, spending every second I have of free time with my Avery, traveling a bit with friends, throwing baby showers & now just dealing with the Holiday's approaching- & quickly!
What have we been up to the past few months?
Well, we have October fun & Halloween fun at Avery's school! Then we went trick or treating with cousins! Avery was Ariel this year!
We enjoyed shopping for the Holiday's at stores as well! And of course she had to touch and try on everything in sight!
My best friends baby shower was just a few days after Halloween in Memphis! I enjoyed throwing this shower so much alongside some of her sweet friends & can't wait to actually blog all the special details! Here are a few pictures of this special day with my bestie! She is due in January with her sweet baby boy!
Isn't Mommy to be just adorable?
After the shower her adorable Mom treated me to dinner on Beale Street for wine & an amazing steak. They are so good to me!!!
One day in November I found time to give my closet a makeover from summer to winter!
This month I started up my "Christmas tree" business. I think I have decorated around 20 tree's at this point, and I am up to 4 homes! Here are a few! This has kept be so busy this year. I am hardly home. But, feel so blessed to be doing this!!!!
And here is a peek at my house until I can post the entire look! I have some fun things this year I added, I can't wait to post everything on my "blog tour of my home"...
Also this November I was asked to speak at a MOPS group in Greenwood Arkansas! I was so excited to meet with this group of woman & speak my testimony & tell a little about my life, how God has changed me, & teach them a little about decorating! So exciting!
Also this month I went to a Justin Timberlake concert with some of my besties!!! Our girlfriend Amber flew into Tulsa & we all had the time of our lives at his concert! He is amazing ya'll!
This is Jessica- Jusin's wifey! The arrow is pointing to how amazing our seats were! We were sooooo happy!!!! Front row second section! SCORE!
The next day was my nephew Hudson's 2nd Birthday!!! It was adorable! I loved the tractor theme that my sister in law did! I can't believe that my nephew is 2. Where has time gone?
We also went to Polar Express in Branson this month & had a blast with my brother & his family!
We also had a "1920's" party for a friend to attend that we had a ball dressing up for! It was just so much fun! Our friend Julie did our hair and we just had the night of our lives!
In the mix of this crazy schedule I always find time to spend days with my girl!
We also spent a Friday night while the boys were at the deer woods at a family cabin!
And we did get family pictures taken this fall!
{More to come}
Thanksgiving we had SO much to be thankful, yet our day didn't go as planned....
On thanksgiving morning my father in law got very ill. He had a cold, we thought, and we ended up changing our day travel & decided to stay home with the family to watch over him. He ended up being in the hospital from Thursday until Monday. Come to find out out, he was treated for Bronchitus/phenomonia but also through many tests discovered that he also had been having several strokes through the course of week/months which had effected his balance, speech, amonst a few other issues. He also had some dead spots on his brain & was diagnosed with diabetes. It was a very hard Thanksgiving Day for our family we were so worried about Chad's Dad. It was all to close to my heart personally after dealing with the issues we have with my Dad & his heart. He has made a great recovery but we ask that you continue to keep our family in your prayers. We are so blessed and thankful that Paul is doing better & pray that God's healing hand will remain on him through this recovery process.
My father in-law & niece... So sweet!
In the mix of this month December 1st came! And so did our sweet Elf Sofia! Boy are we glad (Momma) that she is in town prepping Avery for Santa's arrival!!! HA! Happy December until I can get to my next post! Love you all!
