I feel like I should devote a whole posting to JUST THIS BED! Thanks to my hubby, who put this bed together with a lot of patience and late nights. It took EIGHT HOURS to assemble. I'd never seen anything like it. It had tons of pieces and the worst directions I've ever seen. It's an awesome bed though. It has a built in dresser and storage shelves on the side. The open gap on the side is actually for a desk to slide in and out, but Ashlynn decided to leave the desk out and put it under her window. Now she has her own "hiding" space under the bed, which she uses for her American Girl Doll.
This past weekend Matt and I took a break from moving and went to the US Cellular 250 Nascar Nationwide Series race at the Iowa Speedway in Newton. We had a great time!
Yesterday Ashlynn and I braved the heat and went to Adventureland with good friends. All in all it was a great day, ending with pizza at Bordenaro's and a girls' sleepover at the Radisson Hotel.
The gang: Marilyn, Michelle, Chip, Brooke, Robbie, Ashlynn and I.
Well, here it is....the new house.....we close July 30th......I am so excited!! There is soooooooooo much work to do between now and then. It just can't get here soon enough. Of course, in my mind, I already have every room decorated just perfect, organized and beautiful.
The girls and I went to see Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston last night at Wells Fargo.....they had a blast! It was a great show. (And, I might add.....I'm not as old as I thought, I was surprised by how many songs I knew :)
Well....what's to say.....I'm a mom.....I love to spend time with my girls, I love date nights with my hubby, going to movies, hanging out with friends, and currently I am addicted to Janet Evanovich's Stepanie Plum murder mysteries and Lori Foster romance novels.
I teach hormone raging, patience testing, and attitude growing 7th graders at Weeks Middle School. I really do love my job....they keep me on my toes. My real passion is teaching at Upper Iowa University as an Adjunct Professor....someday that will be my full time job.
Matt is my hubby of 19 years this past August!! HOLY COW....19 years...I don't know how he has survived!! He works at Premier Concrete Pumping as an operator and a salesman. The thing I love most about him is that he is an amazing father....I love to watch him with the girls.
Kami is an amazing person....she's beautiful, smart, funny and I love spending time with her. She is a junior this year. She works after school at a daycare. Her interests: working at a daycare (to help finance her social life), hanging out with friends, shopping, shopping, shopping, and MTV reality shows. It is incredible to watch her transform into a young woman!!
All About Ashlynn
