iPhone!

June 24, 2010

Here is a picture of me on my "new" iPhone at Grandpa and Grandma Jean's as taken on Zach's new iPhone (a 4g-so actually new) and sent to mine (his old phone). Makes for fun, fun, fun (AND more prompt journal posts)! Even though I've played with his for almost two years now, I'm still getting the hang of it. *lol*

Zach: What have I done? ;)

I guess now we will have to worry about me on our phone-less date nights.

Thanks to my in-law's for adding me to their plan so both my mother and I could spend less on our phones!!

Getting Dolled Up

June 17, 2010

I had lunch with my Mama at Moe's today (SCORE for a $4 meal for two that included a Joey Jr.!), and she looked so cha-cha in her purple I had to take a picture.
She thought she was overdressed. ;)
Isn't she cute?!
But don't ask me wear she learned to pose like she's at a pageant or on the red carpet. :)

Then I went to get my hair trimmed.

Jennifer at Abella Salon and Boutique did a wonderful job. It didn't hurt that she is my best friend's cousin, and we could just chat away. She is so sweet, has the most adorable kids, and her salon is cute, cute, cute. (Think hanging glass windows between stations and big fancy silver-framed mirrors on black walls.)
I stopped back by to see my mom and visited with her a little longer since I had to hurry to my appointment after lunch. She's taking great care of my peace lily from Daddy's funeral. (Hobie kept trying to eat it, and it didn't get enough light in our old apartment. I waiting to get it back once we have jobs and are settled somewhere again.)

P.S. Zach and I are having a date night tonight! We're going to get snow cones and go on an adventure! I just hope he feels better...

Master Ashley : )

As of April 23, 2010, I am officially a Master of Literature!! I passed comps AND my thesis defense!

I really cannot believe it. It took so much to get here. I am in shock that I passed everything, especially that last essay on comps, and that my thesis turned out so well. It was an emotionally-draining project.

Last night we went out to celebrate! We never really got to celebrate Zach's defense or even taking comps, so we wanted to have a really good time. We had a nice dinner and drinks (had multiple mojitos because of the great week I had and I'm really into mojitos now!), popped into Target for a bit (because we LOVE Target), and went to see Date Night. (We had a buy 1 ticket, get one free coupon. ;)

All in all, a wonderful celebration!
