Hey y’all!

Hope y’all had a great weekend! My weekend was fabulous!

Colby and I went home to see our parents. We haven’t been home since Christmas, and because of my flu, I didn’t even get to go home for my birthday!

Friday night, I went to see Jessica and the kids so we could exchange birthday gifts and spend a little bit of time together. She gave me a gorgeous necklace and bracelet that she made herself! Love them!

I got to snuggle and chat with my Sweet P before she fell asleep.

Look at those cheeks!!

Saturday evening, Mom-mom and Grandaddy came over so we could have dinner and cheesecake for my birthday.

Momma made Pioneer Woman’s chicken spaghetti, and Mom-mom made her famous bread! It was amazing!

I also finally got my cheesecake! We only have it on my birthday, and this time we had to wait 13 months! So totally worth the wait though!

Yum-o!

Abby was so fascinated with my necklace! She’s so cute!

Sunday morning was church, then lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant!

My sweet Sandy-dog

The bro and I in front of our “picture tree”. I think we’re going to have to dig it up and move it to the new house :)

Jessica, Ralph, and the kiddos came over for a little bit after church! Jessica and I just needed a few more minutes together. It’s so hard to only see each other every few months, and we’ve really needed each other these last few weeks. Plus, I need extra snuggle time with my babies!

Ohhhhhh I just love this little Sweet P!

I love her biggest brother K too! It’s so hard to believe this precious guy is 8 now! He’s still his Aunt Ashley’s little boy though :)

Colby and Daddy met Sweet P for the first time!

Sweet baby girl!

Love my girls!

My bestie and me! Love her so much!

It was so nice to get a great weekend with my family before diving into work this week. We start training with my girls in my shop tomorrow! I spent a little time in the shop and with one of my girls on Friday, and it’s really starting to become more real. In just two weeks, my shop will be open! I’m just so excited about this that I can’t hardly stand it.

Have a great week y’all!



LOVED Chris Mann and Monique Benabou’s performance of Power of Love. It was just beautiful!

I’m so happy Chris made it through, but I’m sad to see Monique go.

I SOBBED when Pamela left last week! I just love her, and it’s super sad to see her go. I feel sooooooo bad for Roxy too :( I also really don’t like the addition of Kelli Williams’ character to the show. She just annoys me.

…to get ridiculously excited about Disney ringtones on iTunes.

…to think in hashtags while writing things not on Twitter. #iknowimnottheonlyone

…to buy adorable ‘aunt’ things for your baby niece every time you see one!

Sweet P is going to look so cute in this!

…to be basically the only person in America who is not going to see The Hunger Games. Sorry, hated the book so no way am I seeing the movie.

…to be DYING for one of our new love my state necklaces!

I need this Oklahoma one sooooooo bad!

What’s OK with you this week? Link up with Neely and Amber!

Hey y’all!

Hope you’re all having a great Monday! I’m enjoying listening to the rain as I type/get ready to work.

I had a fabulous weekend! Regina was in town from Texas, so Amanda drove down from Tulsa so we could all hang out! I think it was August or September last time we were all three together, and that’s just way too long!

We went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner Friday night! Regina had never been so we absolutely had to go! The food was wonderful, and we had such a great time together.

Saturday morning, we went to brunch at Jimmy’s Egg and went shopping at the new OKC Anthropologie! It was my first time at the new one, and Regina’s first time at Anthropologie ever. It was pretty great, and I can’t wait to go back when I have a regular paycheck :)

After shopping, Regina had to get back to Texas so we snapped a few last pictures at the hotel.

Oh, how wish this girl would move back to OK!

Precious friends

One last group shot!

We had such a wonderful time together! We caught up on where our lives are now, we reminisced about our college/outreach center days together, and we made some new fun memories. What I love most is that we can go for months without seeing each other, and when we get together, it’s like we’ve never spent a day apart. Some of the greatest memories of my life include these sweet girls, and I’m thankful for them! Girls, can’t wait for the next time!

One little side note: my Hershey’s Easter basket came last week!

I’m going to gain so much weight before all of this stuff is gone, but I’m going to enjoy it :)

Don’t forget to give your opinions on this post!



Hey y’all!

Just wanted to quickly post and ask for some help!

With the TV season and series finales (RIP One Tree Hill) quickly approaching, Neely and I have decided that Boob Tube Babble will come to an end after this current season is over.

What are you thankful for and loving this week?

Hey y’all!

It’s time for another Ashley Lately photo dump! I’ve got a few pictures that don’t have their own blog post, so I’m sharing them here today.

This weekend, I spent a little bit of time at my shop! Feels so weird to call it that :) Grand opening is so soon, and I just can’t wait. I really think this job is going to be great for me. I’m so excited to be trying something new, and I’m thrilled to be working for and with such great people. It has definitely made the stress of the job search so worth it!

This is Adri, the manager of the Tulsa TVP. She’s been training me the last couple of weeks, and she’s seriously an amazing girl! She’s taught me so much, and she has quickly become a good friend. She has such a great heart, and I’m so happy to be working with her!

At the hotel I stayed at a couple of weeks ago, the drawer in the bedside table wouldn’t stay closed. I closed it probably a dozen times, and a few minutes later, it would be open again. Super creepy!

I’m sure most of y’all have seen the standing broom craze that’s been going on. After getting a picture from Momma of one of her brooms standing, Colby decided he could do better and stood up both of ours.

Colby tried to demonstrate at Joyce and Wade’s house the other night, but this was the only one he could get to work!

My poor kitty. He’s been left alone with Colby so much lately that he doesn’t want to let me out of his sight. Nearly every time I sit down, he’s immediately in my lap snuggling. I think he’s missed me :)

He’s also started watching Army Wives with me! Something about the hurricane last week caught his attention, and he watched for quite awhile!

Hope y’all have a great Monday and a great week!

As I’m sure you know, I’ve been dying for this new season to start! I love me some General Holden, and I’m thrilled to be seeing him on TV again :)

Ok, if you haven’t watched the new episodes but are planning to, stop reading now because I’m going to talk about it!

First of all, I’d read that one of the wives was going to be killed off in the premiere. THANK GOODNESS what I read was wrong! I still have a feeling they may kill off someone this season, but I’m glad we didn’t start the season off with a death. Not ready to lose one of the girls yet!

The scenes where Denise was dreaming about Jeremy while she was in a coma were really difficult to watch.

I never liked Jeremy, but I was really sad for Denise and Frank when he died. Watching her think about what life could have been like if he’d lived was soooooo emotional!

I’m also thrilled that Ft. Marshall is staying open! It was sad to think about all of the families going their separate ways. I’m excited to see what the rest of the season holds!

What are y’all watching this week? Link up with Neely and me!

…to be so excited about your new job that you can’t stop talking about it!
