We Made It

Well, we finally made it in to TN about 9ish last night. We had a great drive in until we got to Jackson.... We stopped in Jackson to check the air in the right trailer tire when Josh noticed that the left tire was GONE! So, my grandparents happened to be in Jackson shopping, so we called them to come over there so we could go get another tire....Josh and Bpa went to Wal Mart and got a tire, came back and changed it, and we finally got to leave. We stayed with his parents last night and today at lunch Josh and Evan headed out to Fayette county to hunt tomorrow. I really hope Josh gets something! Joshs mom and grandmother have tons of Christmas candy made ready for everyone to eat...Judy made a white fudge with black walnuts in it that is delicious! I am so excited about spending time with everyone for Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and great New Year!

We are still here!

We have been very busy lately! We made a quick trip up to Nashville last weekend to do all of our Christmas shopping..just a few left! We met up with Dustin and Laura. We have already been having some Christmas parties here!
A student of ours went hunting with Josh and I last night. We had a lot of fun, except for the 3 hours of unsuccessful looking for the deer. Josh and Jeremy went back this morning and found it. We are headed home Thursday morning. See you all soon!

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
ash and josh

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
