My Husband the charmer!!!

Chad and I were sitting in the living room last night watching the Bears play another depressing game and a very sweet commerical came on. This guy was standing outside in the snow in front of the window of the house and the woman was inside they were doing that whole googlie eye thing and he draws a heart in the fog on the window and then drops down a very pretty necklace out of his hand and it dangles down in front of him for her to see. She (of course) is all surprised and happy acting and I say to Chad "awwww how sweet that is" Now let me just make this sound better by saying that Chad use to be really sweet and romantic about hmmmmm huh 9 years ago when we were dating. Unfortunately he just doesn't get into it much anymore..lol...Which is fine I don't need all that mushy stuff. So the commercial goes off and I am about half asleep in the recliner when he says "Ashley" I look over at him and he hands me this piece of TOILET PAPER, YES THAT IS RIGHT I SAID TOILET PAPER....and on it he had drawn a heart on it and handed it to me....SERIOUSLY I JUST LAUGHED AT HIM AND then said thank you honey you have just given me something to write on my blog about...LOL!! What a charmer he is...I guess it was just a good thing it wasn't like used toilet paper...lol...
Regardless I still love him and I am so glad that I got a picture of it for you all to see.. ENJOY !!

we are all equal

I am struggling, I am struggling with people.Does that make sense? I have a VERY hard time dealing with people who pretend to people they are not. I have always been the person who stands up for what I believe in even when it got me into trouble, only because I would take it to far. I will always be the same person I am at home that I am at church, work, grocery store, etc. I'll just be honest with you if you stand outside my house and peek through my windows you will see me in my moo moo nighty (even if it's 3pm), you will probably hear Chad and I picking on each other about something, or you will hear the Karaoke machine on and Chad singing his heart out. And nine times out of ten if you peek through our window Peyton will be running around in some crazy dress up outfit with her high heels carrying around one of her many baby dolls. We are the normal typical family. We have over come MANY MANY hurdles in our 9 years together to get to where we are. We use to not have the faith of Jesus in our lives. We did what we wanted when we wanted it and we said what we wanted when we wanted which usually ended up in some pretty stupid arguments in front of Peyton when she was a baby. It took a long time for God to really sink into our lives and stay. And I will admit that some days it is VERY hard to keep faith. But I do (we do). We may get knocked down over the years and yes it hurts but we find a way to get up and carry on. If it means moving onto to better places then we shall do that. But we have learned that God will place us in all the right spots at the right time. He is never to early or never to late but he is always right on time. Sometimes I have to stop and slow down and realize this myself. I am not a person who likes to wait on things so this sometimes is my biggest down fall.

We are a family who has its daily struggles but we still put our pants on one leg at time like the rest of the world. God sees all things and sometimes in small towns I just have to overlook the people who think they can put their pants on both legs at a time (standing that is for all your smart butts..lol)

BABY UPDATE!

I went to the Dr. today I was dialated a whole "1" whooohooo..Can you sense my sarcasim? But really though that is better than nothing.This past week I had been having some pretty strong contractions when I was really active so I guess I just need to walk and walk and maybe that will be help her out. I can not wait to see her little face...I know with the first born its always so exciting and I have to admit it is jsut as exciting with the second one. I can't wait to see if she looks like Peyton did, I can't wait to see Peyton's face light up when she is helping us out and holding her sister, and most importantly I can not wait to watch them grow together as sisters. My sister and I are 8 years apart in age and when we were younger we were not very close. I lot of that had to do with parents divorcing and us moving 5 hours from each other. But once we both got to the age where we could travel and see one another then we have been BEST FRIENDS since. Not that I haven't always loved my sister it was just harder to be close to one another so far away. Now I wouldn't know what to do with out her. I can not wait to watch Peyton and Tarryn grow together. It will be so fun. I am REALLY REALLY excited about having time off from work...LOL..isn't that awful? I am just excited that it is falling around the holidays so if all goes well I will be home after Thanksgiving through the first two weeks of January. WHOOOOHOOOO...I can not wait!!! LOL...Plus I will be able to take Tarryn with me to work when I go back so that is going to help out TREMENDOUSLY....God has truly blessed us with wonderful things and I thank him for placing everything in the right spot for us!!! So now I go back every week my next appt is Nov.12th so I will update again then...

UNTIL NEXT TIME
