Finally finished the wedding favors! So exciting... This was an emotional day... I was stressed about work.. I had a few glitches with wedding plans, that were out of my control... Just an exhausting day. Then we start to work on wedding favors. I think we all worked on them from about 8pm to 1 am.... but they are done! What a relief! I think that is one of the biggest things I have been dreading!
Headed to bed. Will write more about the drama of today later.....
Night Night!

So much to do...So little time....
The race is on! I think we are in the home stretch. My sister is working on the food, punch, cookies, etc etc etc and is doing an AWESOME job. Brice, Pam, and I are going to finish up the favors this weekend. Then the Bridal shower :-) So exciting.
Also, Brice and I are doing the Dave Ramsey class at my church on Sunday nights... That has been a huge help. I didn't realize how many people were in a ton of debt. We are fortunate that I was able to pay for my school up front, I have no loans and am pretty much debt free. I am going to sell a few alpacas to help us out until Brice gets a full time job.
So Brice's wedding present has turned out pretty fabulous. I can't really go into alot of details on her, because I am not sure if he reads this blog or not :-) I will post pictures after the wedding.
29 Days to go <3

30 days to go!
Wow! I never thought I would make it this far! But now that I am here I am stressed, and wearing down quickly. I am still working on the favors. They are just so time consuming! I think that Brice and his sister are going to come over Friday night to finish those bad boys up!
I have almost gotten the house organized! I got rid of a TON of stuff. My friend came and helped me go through alot of it and helped me get it all taken to good will.
We have our Bridal shower on Sunday. I am pretty excited for that too. None of my family from WV gets to come in for it though :-( I wish they lived closer!
I can't wait to marry the love of my life! Only 1 month to go!

Lil ol' Me
I got so excited about starting this little blog the past few days, that I forgot to properly introduce myself. First of all, thanks for stopping by.
My name is Ashley. I am 22 years old, about to be married (November 20, 2010). I can not wait! I have only been dating Brice for a short time, but circumstances, and the like, helped us to make our wedding a little sooner than we had originally planned.
I have been head over heels with this boy for as long as I can remember. We were pretty good friends all through highschool, but the boy was so shy he was scared to death to even think about going on a single date, much less have a girlfriend. We went on a date or two here and there, but he would always end up telling me he didn't want a girlfriend, so I would distance myself again. I would date some other people, nothing serious, but I am not one to sit at home alone all the time. I mean what teen really wants to sit at home alone on the weekends... Get real! But all through school Brice and I would eventually come back to the same place in our lives and I would break up with whatever boyfriend I had at the moment, and we would go out on a few more dates, then he would decide to distance himself from me.
Then it happened... I get this random text message on July 4th, 2009. Brice asked me if I was still interested in "hanging" out sometime. Of course, I said YES! He came over and we watched movies and talked non stop until 2 or 3 am. I lived mostly alone at the time, because my room mate was never there, so it wasn't a big deal that he stayed so late. Honestly, I thought nothing really of the "hanging" out. That is what friends do right? Well, Brice came over time after time after time.... Then we would go out to play putt putt or to dinner or to a movie.... I honestly wasn't sure what to think of all this "hanging" out. Then one day at church...of all places... someone comes up to us and says... "So are ya'll dating or something!?" I slowly backed away from that loaded question. Brice however, couldn't contain himself and he blurts out "uhhhh YEA!" Then the poor boy looks at me like "ummm was that the right answer?" And since that moment we have been side by side ever since.
The interesting part of the situation is that Brice's dad has decided that he doesn't want us to be over at my house... because I live alone.... So planning a wedding has been interesting to say that least, but it will be here soon enough and then we can start our lives together. :-)
I graduated from Piedmont Christian School in 2006 and then from Northern Va Comm. College in 2009. I am currently a licensed Veterinary technician for a small animal practice and love every second of it.
I also started an alpaca farm that I hope to someday make into my career :-)
I think that is more than enough about me. I will stop rambling now so hopefully you will come back to the blog lol

35 Days to go!
I survived another day. It was a semi-crazy day at work today. Not too excited to have to go in tomorrow. I hate working Saturdays. Blah! But at least I will get some Over Time!
This weekend I am going to try to get the favors started.... and we are going to get all the bows tied on the vases for the center pieces. This is probably the last weekend this month that we will get to work on things....
Next weekend we have the harvest party and the Bridal shower at my church.
We got the dining room furniture set that my parents gave us all set up last weekend. I love love love it! It is getting so exciting! We also have our new bedroom furniture all set up. :-)
We still can't really see each other that much because of his Dad's "old-school" rules, but we are doing well.
I can't wait to marry the love of my life :-)

36 Days to Go!
Wow! We have come a long way. Things are going well. Wedding plans are all falling into place. It is just so exciting to think that in about a month so much will change. My name will change. My lifestyle change. I will no longer be living alone. I will have to coexist with someone else. My family has been amazing through all of this! They have really helped me put together an AMAZING wedding. I can't wait :-) This week I have been working on getting all of the favors for the guests put together. Also I have been working on getting Brice's wedding gift. The excitement, stress, chaos, etc. has begun!
