Along for the Ride

Things have been crazy for us lately, but in a good way.

I love school and everything it entails! I am getting anxious with graduation for LPN coming in May. I am walking in the LPN graduation even though I am going on to RN, well honestly....... because I can, and I earned that. I do get a little stir crazy! I feel like I'm neglecting the things I love lately, but I know its a sacrifice that will pay off. I have really been missing friends! I have taken on the challenge of bar tending and its nice way to make some cash, and just be around people!

We have put on several Legion shows lately, and I am always glad to see everyone who comes out to support local music! This is not only a way to draw our community close, its a way to also support its economy in these rough times! We are very thankful to Newton Americal Legion for all their hospitality.

Will is the new drummer for Madam X and makes his debut at Saturday Night's Shrine Night. He will playing at the Eagles if you want to check out some rocking music! He's pretty nice to look at too! <3 He is still doing body work up at Jay's Hobby Shop, and anything else hes roped into! He's excited to get started laying the flooring for my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Donald! So between band practice, work, side jobs, and being boyfriend of the year, I don't know how that man finds time to sleep! I'm a lucky woman!

Tristan never ceases to amaze me in every way possible. My little boy is the smartest cutest thing on the planet! He is my drive for all this craziness! That smile warms my soul! I love hearing the randomness that is his youth telling me, "Mommy this is sooo frustrating" or "haha Mommy, I was being difficult"! He is growing so much, and is a terror to a pair of jeans. Brand new Jeans seem to ALWAYS get ripped out in the right knee first, with the left quickly behind.

We lost our cat Bella a few weeks ago, and it was traumatizing, Tristan was really concerned! His Dad even let him call one day to check to see if she was home yet. How sweet. She came back home mysteriously after a week! We couldn't of been happier!

That about raps it up for now! Ashley
