We have slowly been working on our kitchen. We've redone the cabinets and got a new counter top. We've added some new cabinets in the laundry closet. Finally after 2 years we found a tile. Last week the old floor was removed and disaster began. The whole house is a gigantic mess. 2 days into the job Dave was given his job back so he has been working all day and then working on the floor at night. This weekend James thought he'd help out too!
So I was able to pull it off....he had no idea about the party and was totally surprised. Man was it hard...I almost slipped a few times. The party had a great turn out. Dave really appreciated everyone who came out to celebrate (despite the crappy weather).
Dave and I were married 11-10-07. We have been together since 11-10-01. We live in a quiet little subdivision that we really enjoy. We had a baby girl, Emily Hayden on Jan 14, 2014 that we totally adore. We spend a lot of time together as a family. We try to get James as much as we can. Each weekend we are busy with at least one activity (most weekends more).
Each of us...
Dave....
Is a very busy man. He works very hard to provide for our family. Currently he works for South Suburban Heating and Air. He has been spending a lot of time working on the house making it "our" home. When he isn't busy he enjoys watching UFC.
Ashley...
I completed my Masters in Marriage & Family counseling in the spring of 2010 and I just completed my doctorate in counseling education and supervision. I loved school and met some really amazing people.I work as an associate director of applied professional practice at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I also adjunct there and at Governors State University . In my free time I like to craft, garden, bake, or read.
James...
He is 13 years old and has just started 8th grade. He is shy, but when you get him going he is a lot of fun. He is into video games, paintballing, and shoes right now.
Emily...
Emily Hayden was born 1/14/14 @ 8:14 am. She was 7lb 9oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is a very content baby- she hardly cries. Every day she seems to be getting smarter and smarter
Pets...
