Bye, Little Girl

School was cancelled yesterday, so I got to spend a lovely day, well most of the day, at home with my hubby, finishing projects in our house. YAY! When it ices in Texas, school seems to be cancelled rather quickly. They don't have salt trucks, or at least as many salt trucks, as they do in Kansas, and when the roads freeze, it usually takes at least a day to get them fully cleaned off. But. . . I am definitely not complaining. No work! :)

We made one outing to Hobby Lobby and Ross. As we were walking into Ross, I slipped on ice. No, not just the "whoa, I almost fell, grab onto the hubby" slip, but the "feet out from underneath me, no limbs on the ground, please help me not break anything" slip. I can't remember the last time I did that. Being the great, loving hubby that he is, Scott did not laugh at all but immediately bent to see if I was okay. Oh, and don't think, I got away unnoticed. Many people saw it happen, and I don't know how they stiffled their laughter, honestly. Needless, to say my bum was wet, it hurt like crazy, and my wrist was sore, but no tears were shed. As we were shopping inside, Scott said, "Thanks for not being a little girl and crying because you were embarassed." Guess I'm growing up. . . :)

Newlywed Test #1

So, I was on my way to the hair salon last Friday when I called my new hubby:

"Hey, babe! Just wanted to see what you would like me to do with my hair? Should I keep the blonde, add a little brown? What do you think?"

"Hmmm. . . try a little brown, maybe a lot of brown. . ."

"Okay. . . "

Two hours later. . .











As I returned home, I asked Scott to close his eyes as I came in the door. I stood right in front of him and he opened them. He was speechless, in quite shock, I believe. "I'll get my sweet innocent Ashley back soon, right?"
So, he really does like it. . . he just doesn't want me to keep it brown for good! :)
I guess I'll let you know if blondes really do have more fun.

Hello, Blog World!

Okay, well after watching numerous friends have fun in this blogging world, Scott and I have finally decided to make one of our own! I'm assuming most of the posts will be from the brilliant mind of mwah ;), but you may be blessed with my other half chiming in every once in awhile when I beg him! Hee, hee! He is quite witty and humorous at times, and I wouldn't want to waste that! We're doing this to mainly keep everyone updated on our lives and to share our random thoughts and feelings about experiences we have together! We hope to be helpful and inspirational but most importantly, just fun! We love life, and we love to share life with friends! One more thing: our first shoutout goes to. . . Danny and Emily Duran!!! We love you guys! They are seriously the greatest friends in the world, and we couldn't be more blessed to have them in our lives. Thank you for everything you guys have done for us! We will post pics soon of our new house they helped us paint into the late hours of the evening last night. It's amazing. :)
