The Sunday Social, Week 111

July 20, 2014 By ashleylately 11 Comments

Hey y’all!

Before I get started, I have to add something from last week. When we talked about important people in our lives, I left out a really special precious friend, and I just feel terrible about it! So Meghan, I love you and I miss you and I’m sorry!

Today’s questions are a bunch of fun randoms :)

1. What is the most difficult thing you have been through?
When I was a kid, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is curvature of the spine. I wore a back brace at night for about a year, and when that didn’t work, I ended up having two spinal fusion surgeries. It was not a fun experience and I had to make some life changes, but it was the best thing for my health, so I worked through it. Aside from a few physical limitations, I’ve been able to live a pretty normal life!

2. What was your best birthday?
My family has always made sure my birthdays are special, so I don’t know that I can single one birthday out! A fun party I can remember from childhood was my 50′s party. We all wore poodle skirts, listened to 50′s music, and my cake was decorated to look like a record! It was lots of fun!

3. What has been your favorite thing you’ve done in your own city?
One of the things I love most about Oklahoma is how we come together to support each other during difficult times. Last year when the awful tornadoes ripped through Moore, Blake Shelton an Toby Keith each planned huge benefit concerts to support the families affected by the storms. I went to both of them, and in addition to hearing some great music, it was great to be able to come together as a community and a state to support each other. A close second-attending an OKC Thunder game during the NBA playoffs this year :)

4. What is your idea of the perfect date night?
Tough question :)

5. Have you ever been to a blogging conference? If so which one(s)? If not, do you want to?
I went to the last two Blissdoms and one Bloggy Boot Camp! Through all three conferences, I gained some great knowledge about blogging and life, and I made some amazing friends! If you’ve never been to a blog conference, I highly encourage you to try one!

The Sunday Social, Week 110

July 13, 2014 By ashleylately 4 Comments

Hey y’all!

Today’s Sunday Social questions are all about the special people in our lives!

1. Tell us about the family you grew up in, parents, siblings, grandparents.
I grew up in a home with my mom, dad, and little brother. We are a really close family! I don’t know what I’d do without them!

2. Tell us about your husband, fiancé, boyfriend, significant other.
No significant other in my life right now :)

3. Tell us about your children. If you don’t have children, talk about your fur children.
No human children, but I have the cutest little cat ever! His name is Jack, and he’s the sweetest little guy!

He likes to snuggle :)

4. Tell us about your best friends. How long have you known them? How did you meet?
I have three best friends that are the best girls I could ever ask for!

Jessica and I met in kindergarten, and we’ve been friends ever since! Neely and I met through blogging and have been friends almost four years. Teddie and I met through church growing up. Our friendships are all different, but they are all so special. They all bring so much to my life, and I love them so much!

5. Tell us about any other special people in your life.
I have a special family I talk about a lot here :) In college I did the college student adoption program at church, and I was matched up with a great family that immediately made me a part of their family.

Through this great family’s foster care journey, I was introduced to my Littles, who bring such joy to my life!

I also have a great group of friends, some I’ve met through blogging and some I’ve met just through life! They are all so precious to me!

I couldn’t talk about special people without talking about my TVP girls! These are the people I spend most of my time with, and I love how we are all really close even outside of work! It makes going to work so much better when you genuinely like the people you’re working with!
