Recap of 2016

Good Morning!

Hello!

How are you?

Last time I get to post in 2016!!

I can't believe the year went by so quick!

Now before we say Hello to 2017.... let's take a little walk through 2016 with some of the most memorable moments....

Obviously one of the biggest moments I had this year was... I got married!!! 

The Bouquets from our wedding. 

Mexico was such a great time! I fell in love with Guacamole!  

Clyde

We rescued our Big boy Clyde only to have to surrender him to a better house for him due to his abusive lifestyle he had had before us. He never really adjusted good enough. 

  

Such a beautiful boy!

Audrey

My beautiful baby girl Audrey made some crazy things this year and yet she has chilled out tremendously. 

She is 2 and my Best friend! 

Younique Presenter

I became a Younique Presenter and made it to the 3rd level. 

I hope to keep it up in 2017!

Stock the bar party

What an awesome party that was!

Audrey and I started going to the outdoor mall

Audrey Traded me in......

I would like to say Thank you to each and every one of you for reading my blog posts. 

Hope you are stay safe celebrating this new year's arrival!

Can't wait for our journey in 2017!!!

Tonight!

Good morning! Who is excited about tonight? Pretty Little Liars is back on tonight at 8pm on ABC Family! Do you think we will find anything out or will we end up with more questions? 

I can't wait! I think I might miss it tonight though....I know.... What?....How can this be? 

Well my Boyfriend's niece is graduating from Preschool and I wouldn't miss that! I love that girl like she is my own! She always knows when to give those special hugs and to be that silly little one to make you smile! She is crazy at times but she is loved by so many for just being herself! I remember the first day I met her, I haven't been in her life but for only 3 years but she walked into my work and smiled at me and I waved to her and she froze, from then on she found out my name and everyday she would walk in and say, Miss Ashley..... and I would say hello and she froze. Then once I became Kris's girlfriend she gave me so much love I became her Ashley! Tonight she will be up on stage singing songs and showing us that she is a big girl now! 

Being a Pre-k teacher I have seen some gifts given to the graduates, my favorite is the little ones given the book, " Oh The Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss and the family members write in the book each graduation kind of like their yearbook. I cry every time I read this book to my classes this time of year. It's perfect! I want to read it to Savannah and start this tradition with her and so forth with the kids I will hopefully have in the future. 

Congratulations! 

Today Is your day.

You're off to Great places!

You're off and away!

And will you succeed?

Yes! You Will. indeed!

(98 and 1/4 percent guaranteed) 

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So I'll need to grab a box a tissues for tonight! Everyone enjoy their day and Pretty Little Liars! 

Read "Oh The Places You'll Go!" 

or just hug your loved ones because remember you are lucky to have them!

The Adventures of Ducky and Elmo

Hello! Happy Thursday! Now people let me tell ya bout my best friend... She has been a little down this week so I decided to make a post just about her and it falls in with Throw Back Thursday because some of the pictures I am posting are some throwbacks. 

Natalie and I have been friends close to 6 years now. I met her 7 years ago at my job. She has now moved on to a high tech job so now I can no longer page for her to come help me with the paper towels at work. They are tough to get the cardboard out of but it was never a problem for her. 

Anyway, we have gotten closer as the years have gone on even with her leaving me at work. She has always been one I can call if I ever needed to vent or needed a friend. She's awesome! That is the truth for sure I have 4 times pop right in my mind where I called her and she was there for me right away! She was also the only best friend I have ever had watch me dance in a dance recital! That makes me very lucky and blessed. We have had our ups and downs like every friendship does but still no matter how long life keeps us busy we can always talk and be right back to where we were laughing and singing as we dance to our favorite songs. 

We would have the best times going downtown together dancing! we had our own playlists every weekend that we would play to pump us up for the nights. We never wore the same outfits because of course we would get pictured and of course they would go on Facebook! 

We have done so many awesome things together throughout the years. A couple memories that stand out are getting attacked by Ladybugs at the beach, learning that Buffalo Wild Wings does have mini corn dogs, finding out that dancing "is all in de hips", and that there are languages out there that we never even knew about!

So here's to one of my Best Friends...... I love you and SMILE!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good Morning! Happy Friday! Happy Valentine's Day!!! Today, I get to celebrate my second Valentine's day with the best guy I know (after my daddy)

 I am so excited and completely blessed to have him as my boyfriend and can't wait to share more Valentine's days with him!

He Is such an awesome guy! He fixes my car when there is an issue or just the routine maintenance is always there to listen to me vent or give me advice on the issues that occur on my day to day life. He even has the power to make me smile even when I feel like being mad at him! 

 Being in love feels so good! Everyday I am dressed in LOVE head to toe and like Carrie Bradshaw said in the Sex and The City movie, "That's a label that never goes out of style." 

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Be Thankful for all you have and Enjoy it!
Leave some love below!

Making things romantic!

Good morning! Tonight we are suppose to be getting snow! they are saying it's going to be our BIG snow storm....I'll take it as long as we don't lose power! 


So Friday night, I have a date with my handsome fellow! I think we are staying in I'm going cook some dinner and we are going to watch Thor The Dark World together! So how can I change our house to be a little bit more romantic then other nights? Well, I decided to have our fire place going...and move my flame less candles into the living  room! I love flame less candles they add a little relaxation to a room!

Gerson Candles · CASA.com Candles · Lands' End Candles

The dinner menu... I'm not quite sure what I should do...I would like to fix him a steak dinner but I have never made it before... but I know one this I will be fixing some chocolate covered strawberries! I found such an easy way to do it too!

Get a pack of strawberries.....then on the baking line of your grocery store there is chocolate you can melt that looks like it's in the same packaging as Easy Mac get that......go home follow the directions on the chocolate on melting it....then you dip your strawberries and put them in the fridge to sit and BAM you have chocolate covered strawberries! also another good thing to try is sliced chocolate covered bananas ! YUM!

 Anyone have any ideas?  I can't wait! comment your ideas below or just leave me some LOVE!
Have a wonderful day!
