More to the story (Ashley)

Well, I wasn’t supposed to be blogging all by myself.  We had intended to hit this from both sides.  You know, so you could hear my story… and his. 

Oh well.

I kinda want to rewind a bit.  I’d like to catch you up on the way we found each other.   I mean, if that doesn’t sound to boring.

Its weird… I dated here and there, thought I found someone I could spend my life with. Needless to say, I was obviously mistaken.  That’s not to take away from the time I spent with those in my past… I have great memories and countless stories.  But there was something different about this one…

I moved to Virginia in late 2005. October to be exact, the 27^th.  The reason?.. well, the reason turned out to be a mistake… but the ultimate outcome has brought me here.

It’s brought me to today.  This incredible person that I found that makes me whole.  He’s my soul.

Ok ok. Sooooo, we gotta change it up for a minute.  The post I started before this was interrupted by a need for sleep.  Then that was interrupted by a barrage of crazy crazy crazy events. 

It’s been so crazy that I don’t even know where to start. 

It’s June 2^nd. 

On May 5^th I started taking birth control… for the first time in my life.  Totally backwards.

A couple years ago John and I talked about starting a family.  He didn’t think he wanted to have any more children.  He has four from a previous marriage. 

We decided that a family is just what we needed.

We are currently on a journey to start that family.

I hope you want to keep reading.  I have so much to say and so much to share.

I can’t begin to tell you how stoked we are.  John included.

I think he will chime in eventually. At least I hope so.

So, back to the craziness… that is, if you’re interested.

Have I mentioned how in love I am with this man??

DEEPLY.

So, like I said… birth control.  Step one.

Step two… injections… (as you may have read earlier).

Step three… blood work…

Step three begins to add a little haze to my life.   On May 29^th, I was scheduled for my appointment to get detailed information about the drugs I was going to have to take.

....I almost missed that appointment.

Tomorrow I’ll tell you all about it.

But… Good night for now.
