Two Things....

Number 1. Is anyone else fanatical about watching the Olympics?? I think I am addicted! I LOVE IT!

Number 2. Do you ever look forward to cuddling up in your bed?? Tonight I just can't wait to go to sleep!

weird I know, Aaron thinks sleeping is such a waste of time, but tonight, yes tonight, I beg to differ!

GOODNIGHT!

Lately









Well folks, volleyball is completely underway and things around here are gearing up again as usual. We have been doing 2 a days, so it has been pretty crazy around here, but lots of fun. The people we both work with are awesome, so if we have to be at work , at least they make it lots of fun!


I'll be honest, I actually snuck(sp?) in a nap today while Aaron went to hang out with JC. So that was wonderful.

Aaron just got back from playing 4 beautiful golf courses in Dallas with Clay and Rylan and had so much fun. And while I don't have pictures, I DO have some of Carter's Golf birthday party, (he turned 3,) and Abbi and I watching a chick flick and eating popcorn and peanut M&M's. (Which if you have not tried as a snack, you are missing out)

Recipe: One bag kettle corn
One bag peanut M&M's = YUMMY.....just make sure a few of each are in your mouth at the same time for sweet and salty perfection!! (As seen above...ha)

Last official day of summer!

What a sad/happy day it is.

Today is Ashley's last REAL day of summer. I mean sure school does not start until August 25th, but tomorrow I have to report back to work to start getting things organized for volleyball for when the girls come on the 4th.

So today I will try to fit in all of my favorite things (in Lubbock at least...)

Pedicure
Ride my bicycle around our fun neighborhood
Go running
Watch 2 super girly movies I rented
get a snowcone at Bahama Bucks
Dinner at 82nd Street Cafe
play ball with the dogs
maybe do a bit of shopping

all while missing my husband who has about 2.5 more weeks of summer and is on a super fun, pack all the golf you can into 3days, trip in Dallas with some of his buddies!

Can you tell I am jealous??

ha! Better go get started!

Hope you all are wonderful!

Before I get back to being productive....

You should know that I have not had a traffic ticket since I was a senior in high school.

On this lovely Thursday afternoon I was being so productive getting all kinds of appointments in before the crazy volleyball season gets started. I was on a role...Aaron and I both got eye appointments I got my hair highlighted and cut as well as a dentist appointment. I was feeling like we were pretty on top of things.....until I decided to drive down the new Marsha Sharp freeway. "This thing is great," says Aaron. "We would have already stopped at 3 lights if we took 19th." As we pass a radar that tells you how fast you are going. Ashley- "Oh I better slow down, I am going 52 in a 40." Aaron- "Nahh it's fine"

OVER VERY NEXT HILL.......

MOTORCYCLE COP

Red and blue lights you think, right? No

I am so lame, and still going 53, that the cop holding a radar gun who obviously just clocked me SPEEDING waves his hand for me to pull over.....

He didn't even have to chase me!!!

He was the nicest guy/cop I have ever known. Not that they are usually mean, but he was like "our friend."

He definitely gave me a ticket, but was the nicest guy.

I don't really know how I felt about him being so nice, it kind of got on my nerves!

hahahaha!

He didn't even have to chase me!
