What Ashley means

What Ashley Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

You will do what is right

I know that you will know what to do when you talk to him. I am sure that he will understand where you are coming from because he has to see that as far as you can see, things aren't progressing. YOu are a 'catch' and Dad says that you will find someone and be married in a year. He will bet on it even though he isn't a betting kind of guy. Do whatever you need to do and Heavenly Father will do the rest. We all love you very much. If you want me to come down there for a couple of days, I will. I will be going to Texas on the 8th, but that doesn't mean that I couldn't come there for a few days first. Let me know. You whole family loves you very much and we all pray for you daily.

It's Time....

What you will do is very difficult (I'm sure). Heavenly Father is watching over you and the feelings that you've received must have come from him. Especially if you parayed about it.

Your family is here for you, remember that. Yes, there is more than one person for everyone out there... that doesn't mean you have to find your "second" one the day after you break up with Ty.

It's going to be hard... I've done it several times....ok, maybe I haven't.... :)

It's Time

Well I am sure that by now everybody that reads this is aware of the face that I have had some serious contemplating and praying to do to figure out what I am going to do. I had a dream a few nights ago that really affected me. I dream that I sat Ty down and I broke up with him. That was a hard dream to have. But I got to thinking, why would I have a dream where I said I felt like our relationship wasn't progressing unless there was somewhere inside me that actually felt that way. It was hard realization to have, I mean I have been with him for 4 years, that is not something that I wanted to think about. But I did and I prayed a lot and all these things kept coming into my head like it has been four years and we are no closer to getting married than we were a year ago. Maybe we aren't supposed to that is why we haven't. It is a scary thought to have because I have been with him for so long and it is comfortable. MAybe that is why I have stayed so long, because it is comfortable. I mean 4 years is a very long time. It is definitely not a matter of love, I love him and I know that he loves me, that is the hardest part of all of it, but I do believe that there isn't just one person in this world that we are able to love. I guess it is just time. I am definitely hesitant and fearful of what the future will bring to me and I am so sad that this will hurt him a lot, me too. I have never broken up with anyone before and I am not sure how to do it, but I know that I need. So I imagine for the next little while I am going to be a wreck. My friends and my mom have all said that "i am a catch and I will find someone soon" that is slightly comforting, but I don't really think that I will be in any sort of shape to really date someone for a while. Well now I feel like I am just ranting on so I will stop. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers:)

Go for it!!

Take Windy's advice and talk with Pop's... He know alot about this stuff and hey if you plan right you can earn enough to get a down payment and perhaps enough to bail you out of your contract.

Find out about contingent offers

Ash,
There are ways to tie up the house until you can get into it. Talk to dad how to offer a contingent offer... There are other programs for first time home-owners.. do some research!! OH, Yeah... I won a bike today!! a cool cruising around kind you know with the big seat, fenders, retro looking... I am so excited!!!!!! I am going to get a basket or two for it and use it when I need to run to the store to pick up items...

Houses

So recently I decided that I want to buy a house here in Idaho falls. I can't move in until November because that is when my contract here in my apartment is up. I have found one that I am hoping will stay on the market till then it is 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It has pergo flooring, new tile and new paint. The best part is that it is a stones throw from the temple. You can stand in the yard and see people coming out of the temple. Here is a picture of the outside.

Kasin!!!

Well, here is a picture of our newest nephew!!!

That game sounds like a ton of fun, and these days it's nice to have digital!!
Hey, don't worry about turning down that job you do need to think about things like that (ie. Bills).
Sounds like Windy is going to have you really busy, that should be good. I know Morgan, and the dog, keep me busy around here!!! Right now I can her in the fridge. Yes, she's very independent. She just got a frozen burrito out of the freezer and wants it as a "snack" aaarrggghh!!!
The joys of parenthood!! :)
Love ya
