thank you!

Wow, it has been almost a month....time flies when you are busy!
Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Josh and I have so much to be thankful for! First of all salvation! We hate that we couldn't be in TN this Thanksgiving, but we have plenty of vacation saved up for Christmas! We are getting more and more excited about Disney World next Spring!
Josh and I put up our tree two Sundays ago because I wasn't sure when else we would have time...but I didn't decorate it until today! I am excited for our first Christmas in our own house! It will just be the two of us eating tomorrow but Evan and Christina are coming late tomorrow night. I think Friday may be a girls only day! I always love it when we have company! Well, it is almost time for services...talk later.

Back in AL

We both had so much fun visiting home last weekend. Josh really enjoyed the quality time with his brother and father! They did a lot of man things and had a great time. I was able to spend a lot of quality time with mom and Nate (when he wasn't hunting too). I haven't been able to just goof off and relax when we made a trip home in a while. I also got to catch up with an old friend. I enjoyed some mother-in-law/daughter-in-law time also! We made stew and talked about the boys. I was also introduced to the Wii.....that was interesting! Josh preached at Glendale on Sunday so we had a good time catching up with some of the people there. and today some people came to look at our couch....so I think we will be looking for a new one soon. I can't wait to be home for Christmas....I can't wait to put up Christmas decorations but Josh said he won't help if I do it before thanksgiving. I would have had them up a month ago if I could! I am so excited about decorating 'our home' for our third christmas together...yay! Hope all is well with all of you!
Love

Oh P.S. We also got to spend some time with the LeMasters and hear some about his professional ball career before he became an elder in the Lords church!

Halloween

Since we won't be in Jacksonville for Fall Fest I decided to wear my festive Halloween things to the College devotional tonight! Well, we carved a pumpkin for the first time this year! Yay!
Also, Saturday, Josh busted his radiator.....so we are now having to fix the truck!
We will be able to come home in a few weeks I am so excited....
I guess that is about all.......
Maybe more next time!
Love,
Josh and Ash

Pumped!

So, Hanson (yes, they are still around) will be coming to Birmingham next week and I am so excited! I think I will be going...even though Josh won't go with me....I am talking to some of the students here about going along with me.
On a different note....we are having company this weekend. Josh's grandparents are coming down and are bringing Clay-Hunter and Ana....we will have a good few days....and good food! I am ready!
Well...Josh and I are fixing to head out to go squirrel hunting!
Bye

Here we go again.

I really don't like not having the internet at home....but it is so stinkin expensive! Anyway, the picture above is the nice burn I received from accidentally touching the muffler on the lawn mower. Ouch! Then as if being burned wasn't enough...it got infected! So here we go with another round of antibiotics!
Well we are finally completely settled into our house, except for bringing home the day bed and taking back Hank and Angie's coffee table. I am ready for it to be time to put up our Christmas tree in our first home! Josh wouldn't let me put it up yet...so it is in the attic and we can finally park in the garage!
Well, I have to get busy making name placemats for the adopt-a-student fellowship meal on Sunday. Then I think we are going on a date tonight!
Love you all!
Josh and Ashley

One more day!

Only one day left to this busy weekend! The yard sale is over! We made $60ish yesterday and about the same today. We donated the rest of the things to Center of Hope. Since the yard sale is over..that means...I can park my car in the garage!! It is in there now! So, all I have left is to get ready for the Mary Kay sell tomorrow. Lets hope it goes well also!!
Love you all,
ash and josh

Craziness!

We are back from Polishing the Pulpit. We thought we were having company the same weekend we got back, but didn't after all. We are getting ready this week to finally have our yard sale! I am also having a big Mary Kay Clearance sale sunday! I am trying to make room in the garage for my car!
Things are going well. All of the students are back from summer break. We have gained a few new students. I am excited to get back in to the swing of things. We are already trying to plan a girls night for all of them. Well I should really go get busy pricing things for the yard sale tomorrow.
Love you all
josh and ash.
