today was definitely one of those days for me.
i hate having bad days. i feel like they don't happen very often but when they do, they hit hard. i think it's so necessary to just remember what's most important and just keep moving on. good times are far and long in this house and i am so grateful for that. i just wish those icky ones never had to come.
i went into crew's nursery when i was having a mini-break down and just listened to his sweet little snore and i swear, it made it SO much better. that little boy is my happy spot in my life. i don't know what we would do without the pig. he has the sweetest little spirit and melts my heart every single day. i had no idea a tiny person could make me feel this way. my heart honestly grows more and more. it's IMPOSSIBLE to not love crew and want to smother him with kisses.
things have been tough because dev is studying for the DAT non-stop so he's unavailable, crew baby is getting teeth and i feel terrible because i can't take away his pain, i miss our friends in rexburg, and some of our closest friends there flaked out on us so many times that it just bummed me out SO bad, we don't have callings yet and we are needing to serve, our ward is hard to adjust to, my body has DEFINITELY taken a toll from having a baby, losing all of the baby weight is discouraging, not having any income right now is tough, and it's hard not knowing what the future holds for us.
we are totally optimistic people i think and we both LOVE going with the flow and just seeing what the Lord has planned for us and just going with it. BUT, it's kind of a big deal now. we don't know where dev will get into dental school, funding his applications and flights out for interviews at his potential schools will be interesting to see where it comes from... all that jazz. the funny thing is, i KNOW everything will work out how it is supposed to. it ALWAYS does, always.
okay, enough with the moping!
GOOD NEWS:
there's been TONS of happy things happening lately! last friday piggy rolled over for the first time and he's been rolling ever since! he's unstoppable! i love it! and our little prince is getting teeth! even though that brings on fussiness, i can't complain. he's being SUCH a trooper. we really got SO lucky with our little guy. he is ALWAYS happy!
we got a car! a NICE one too! i miss the jeep in idaho but we got an AWESOME deal on a 2007 corolla. it's all paid off and we couldn't be more happy!
my best friend just got home from her mission on thursday!!! i couldn't be more happy! i've missed REAL solid friends and she is definitely a rock in my life. i am so pumped for her to be home!
i'm running a 5K on saturday - hopefully if it doesn't storm!
i have SUCH a great family that we are living so close to. and i couldn't be more grateful for my little family. my husband is seriously BOMB. he makes me SO happy all. the. time. i don't know how he does it. and don't get me started on the pig. i am obsessed. i have a great life and i know that bad days are just temporary.

Thanks for this post, Ashley! You are such an amazing woman and role model! So glad you are in Virginia and I can't wait to see how life plays out for you guys. :) Good luck and love you!
I totally know what you mean. We are dealing with the same worries for dental school stuff. It's so expensive, and we have no income either. Blah. But wouldn't it be sweet if we got into the same school?! That would be awesome. :) hope your day goes a little better!
blair is back already!! wow that went by so fast! that's awesome. and hang in there, bad days pass soon enough.
Ash, I'm so glad you wrote that! I had a huge breakdown in front of my boss today. It's been a long time coming but almost necessary. I appreciate your insight!!
Thanks!!
