Wedding Bells in Rocky Top...

This weekend Tyler and I went to Knoxville, TN for my friend Lindsay's wedding. Lindsay and I graduated nursing school together and she was an honorary at my wedding. It was so great to see her this weekend.

Tyler and I arrived in Knoxville late Friday night so that we could spend the day hanging around town before the wedding on Saturday. After breakfast at the hotel we went downtown to the farmers market, where we tasted delicious snickerdoodle cookies (my favorite), and bought the babies special homemade all natural dog biscuits (their dad’s idea). After the farmers market we visited the history center (again Tyler’s idea) and the shops of downtown. Early that afternoon my mother made sure to tell Tyler that UT was having a scrimmage later that day at the stadium…..I really did not want to go to this, I mean I am an Alabama fan I had no interest in seeing the Vols play one another, but hubs says “college football is college football” and I need to go with him a little while so I could at least see the stadium, plus he says he was going to scout for Bama…whatever. Any who I played the good wife and went with him in the scorching heat, all the while yelling ROLL TIDE!

Later that night we went to the wedding, Lindsay was an absolutely stunning bride and her ceremony and reception both were beautiful. Ash Finley and Ashleigh Pulley both came to the wedding as well so it was great to spend time with them….and wouldn’t you know, Pulley and I both showed up in the same dress, I mean what are the chances, haha.

Here are a few pictures we took at the wedding, including Lindsay and Johnathon’s adorable pink and green (her colors) “Candy Bar” with little personalized to go bags, they had at their reception.

Enjoy!

Welcome...

Hey y'all, I have been reading/following blogs for some time, and now I have decided to start one myself. My name is Ashley, I am married to a wonderful man, who has been my best friend for 10 years. Tyler and I were introduced by our parents at a high school sports banquet back in 1999, I was looking lovely I'm sure, having just finished cross country practice, and he as well in his football practice clothes. But from the minute I met that sophomore, christian, football player, I was smitten. We began dating shortly thereafter. We dated for two and a half years, took a break for a while, then found each other again in our college years in 2005, I a sophomore at Samford University and he a junior (football player) at Liberty University. We tied the knot in our hometown of Orlando, FL in May 2008.

We have two precious boxer's, a 2.5 year old female named Maybelle and a 2 year old male named Beau. Maybelle is our special 'child', a free-spirit, always in the spotlight, and mommy's best friend. Beau is our big 85 lb. blob of love, he's a very good listener, very outdoorsy, and daddy's best friend and shadow. They are our life.

We live a happy newlywed life in Alabama, and love it! My husband works in the city not far from me which is nice. I work as a registered nurse in a Trauma ICU and really enjoy what I do! I work 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to do different things. I love decorating our house, going to yard sales, baking, reading, college football and basketball, and spending time with friends and family.
