Three Years

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:10:26 -0700

Though it's always rattling around in my brain to some degree, I just realized this morning that tomorrow will mark three years since my mom's brain aneurysm. I called my sister to see if she had anything planned for the day, but Mom answered in...

Lens Envy

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:35:50 -0800

One of my benevolent co-workers overheard me lamenting the loss of my lens. He said he never has time to use his most awesomely amazing badass lens ever and offered to let me borrow it for a couple of weeks. After I passed out (which was awkwar...

Best. Valentine. Ever.

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 06:55:40 -0800

I don't know how I ever got so lucky, but I'm sure glad that I did. My wonderful, gorgeous, intelligent, doting, amazing husband made this video for me as part of my Valentine's gift. Granted he did try to get embarassing pictures in there too,...

The Drama Queen

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:59:33 -0800

Allie was crying Friday evening. Largely because I asked the girls to clean their room, which was just completely unfair of me. When I gently suggested many things were more unfair than that, she decided she was crying because she "ruins everythi...

I know many of you miss my blog, for which I am dreadfully sorry. I haven't much left in me these days. My writing is broken so to speak. But so as not to leave you with nothing (hooray double negatives!) here is a brief recap of my day. 12:0...

Bridal Portraits

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:05:52 -0700

I just got the DVD with all of my bridal portraits and I am amazed. Jennifer Nichols and her husband (http://www.jnicholsphoto.com/) did the shoot at the old cotton mill in McKinney, Texas. It was about 1,000 degrees, and the air was humid and ...

My Political Children

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:51:47 -0700

The girls have picked up on some of the political conversations going on lately. My family is die hard super right wing republican. I'm barely a democrat which makes me a flaming liberal/communist in their books. I remember the first time I reali...

Insomnia Deux

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:57:55 -0700

Another 14 minute hour gone. Along with half a beer and one cigarette. The surge of nicotine probably erased any drowsiness encouraged by the alcohol. I wish we hadn't packed the wine. I could use that warm fuzz brought about by a glass of shi...

First Day of School

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:08:44 -0700

Avery started kindergarten yesterday. She was so excited about her big day that she nearly ran off to her classroom without so much as a goodbye hug. Allie was equally excited to start the first grade. She's disappointed that her boyfriend isn...

One Year Ago Today....

nobody@vox.com(ashley) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:05:56 -0700

....I got the following email in my Inbox. I'm glad I clicked on that third one down on the far left.... even if we were only an 88% match. I'm happy at least 98% of the time. The other 2% I'm just in shock that I found someone so amazing. Ha...
