Hi, I’m Ashley. I am what I consider to be an average thirty-one year old first time mom. At least I think that I’m average. Maybe I’m more neurotic, because I am certainly paranoid about most everything that happens to my daughter. I think this is normal, but who knows.
I’m originally from the Lowcountry, coastal South Carolina. My family all live in the south. I made a leap of faith over a margarita, and accepted a job 3500 miles away from everyone and everything I’ve ever known. I can’t imagine what possessed me… But I met my husband out here in Oregon, and it is home now.
I am very conservative, politically. I work full time, and would like to reap the full benefits of all of my hard work. I don’t believe in hand outs, for me or anyone else. I wish that more people felt the same way.
I work in a sawmill – in a technical capacity. Really interesting work, a true challenge in itself; now that Jordan has entered my life, working is even more of a challenge – in different sorts of ways.
My passion is my family; husband BJ, daughter Jordan, and dog Cobey. We truly enjoy the outdoors when the weather in the great Northwest permits. We hunt as a family, for anything that is in season. I can’t wait to get Jordan involved, I think that women hunters are the salt of the earth – I’ve never met one that I didn’t like.
I’ve created this blog as a place to dump my thoughts, in hopes that other people might gain something from them – a giggle, a cry, a “Holy shit how can I can make sure not to end up like this crazy woman”, or some other perspective, however obscure.
So here goes.
