Notice my new gadget on the right… Twitter update. Basically it’s like mini-blogging throughout the day… just one or two sentence phrases to update your friends on what you are thinking about or dealing with. You can update online or on the phone and get other people’s updates and stuff. I think it’s cool. It networks people together who can’t talk often, but makes you feel like you know what’s going on with them! Also, it’s a cool thing if you need to send out a prayer request and others will know to be praying for you about something in particular. So… join so you can follow me and I can follow you! Come on… don’t be one of those condemners until everyone else is doing it…

Announcement
December 10, 2008Just a couple of quick announcements before I go hang out with some Jr. High girls…
Today I took my LAST final of the semester! Done! Yup. Done. I’m thrilled. I’m happy. I’m relieved. I’m nicer, too. Ha!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To Christy, Eric, and the staff for a celebratory dinner tonight in honor of finishing up the semester. The pizza was fantastic (one can never go wrong when giving me pizza). Ya’ll are so kind and I’m so blessed to be a part of StoneWater Church. Really, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Finally, and most importantly, there is something everyone needs to know. Yes, everyone. Something that has been hidden in secrecy for many years of my life, and I’m sure in your lives too. Get ready…. It’s BIG. So, Eric was watching the Ellen show the other day (yes, that is funny) and she brought light into the audience’s lives because of this secret. Are ya’ll ready for it? Here goes:
The foil in the box that you use to cover food and store leftovers…. the one that’s in the box, but falls out when you try to pull on it… then the box somehow always manages to cut you… then you get frustrated because you tore off a crooked piece of foil… yeah, that foil… well, on each end of the box there are tabs you push in to hold the foil so it stays, no one gets cut, and the foil tears of perfectly. Voila! A miracle. Did ANYONE know that? No one on the show did. We didn’t. But now… we do. And now, you know the secret. Enjoy.
Jen Sprayberry: Aaahhhh...I feel relieved for you! I'm so proud of you sister. I know this was a rough semester. Thanks for the tip too.
the barbaree's: yea! good job ashley,i know you are excited to be done
AmyC: Haha! I actually knew that about the foil. Too funny!
Congrats on the end of the semester! I'm sure you're relieved!
Thanksgiving
December 9, 2008Happy Thanksgiving! (Yes, I know… we are way past Thanksgiving and on to Christmas). I wanted to share some pictures from Thanksgiving day because we should be Thankful for every single day we have. This Thanksgiving I thanked God ESPECIALLY for my family. I’m just so in love with the family he has blessed me with. We had a really great day with toooo much food! It would have been better if Jessica, Cole, Austin, and Mackenzie would have been here… but they will be here in 10 days for Christmas. YAY!
Here is Thanksgiving at my parents’ house.
The beautiful table my mom set.
Mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, sweet potato pie, fruit salad, cranberry salad, turkey, ham, dressing, rolls, and three pies for dessert. YUM!
Here is my cute grandpa. I love him.
My sweet husband! (and our baby Romie of course)
The woman who made it all happen! I helped some too, though!
My Uncle and Aunt!
My daddy!
Jen Sprayberry: Great pictures from Thanksgiving. Beautiful table- makes me hungry. Your grandpa looks so sweet!
Miller Family
December 9, 2008This weekend, I met a beautiful family who asked me to take their Christmas pictures. It was so fun getting to know them and seeing the personalities of the two lively boys! Such a fun time. Getting a 1 year old and 3 year old to look at the camera AND have smile was quite a challenge, but well worth it! I also had the pleasure of meeting both sets of grandparents and including them in some pictures. We had a great time and I am so thankful they let me capture their memory! Thanks again to Amy for mentioning my name to them. You are a sweet friend!
Meet the Millers.
the barbaree's: the basket picture turned out great.
Jen Sprayberry: That's an awesome group pic. I know groups aren't easy. You're so good. An just think- an entire month to take pictures and just play!
AmyC: They look great, Ashley, as usual! :)













The great "Dane": Awesome pics! You have the eye, so I would like for you to take some pics of me, maybe downtown or at the park or something. Let me know what I need to pay you or cost etc...Thanks.
