memories

by Ashley ~ May 18th, 2009

So tonight I was reading the about page on this website and it has all this stuff about the beginning of coreynashley and it made me think back and sigh :).  On tv you hear the question asked a lot “when did you know he/she was the one…?” well i’ve thought about it and i think the time when i knew he was the one is when i fell in love with him. It was back in September or August of 2002 and it was a Wednesday night Corey promised me the day b4 that he would be at church, well the end of church came and he wasn’t there and I was sad and it was raining soo hard and it was dark and I remember walking out of the old youth building and seeing the rain and it was soo cool with the darkness and it sounded cool, well i walked out of the youth building and i hear something weird and i turn to my left and see this silhouette of this guy running towards me with curly hair just flopping up and down lol. and then next thing i know this silhouette guy runs to me and picks me up and swings me around in his arms in a huge hug. I can literally close my eyes and picture everything about that moment the sound, the way the rain looked, the way his hair flopped in the air, corey in his blue cross country uniform, he even gave me his little sheet of paper with his number, i wish i still knew where that was.  I honestly believe that was the moment i knew he was the one. of course girls mature a lot faster than boys ;).
Corey tells me the moment he fell in love with me was either febuary or march 2003.  I used to write poems and i had a poetry notebook, well one night a few months after we broke up in september 2003 i couldnt sleep one night so i decided to write a poem about corey. a few months later at church on wednesday night i had that notebook and a certain little boy (cough cough corey) decided it would be fun to take that notebook from me and read it, of course I did not like that at all and i hid from him embarrassed well I’m sooo glad that he stole it because he tells me that’s when he realized I really liked him and he should hold on to me. soo a few weeks later he asked me out and that lasted for almost 4 years until one year (when i was at my lowest point ever after my family fell apart) he forgot that he really loved me…or maybe he didnt really love me, but we broke up and some bad things happened and corey went through a bad time, and he tells me now that he realized he loved me the day after i found out some stuff and he realized how stupid he was and i honestly believed him although at that point i wish i could have killed him lol not really but i was angry. and from that day on he has proved to me every day that he loves me and he will never go through that again. he fell for me hard because just like 4 months later he asked me to marry him! So that’s how we fell in love :) it’s not a perfect but it’s our not perfect story about the best feeling we can ever have and that makes it perfect

Happy

by Ashley ~ May 11th, 2009

So at work there is one question I get asked by a lot of customers and that is “you’re married!? you look too young to be married.” Which is kind of annoying but whatever. I was thinking last night that if we waited to get married after I was done with school we would be together for almost 10 years…that’s a longgg time to date somebody. I was thinking about people who wait to get married after college so they will be stable and have money and good jobs so they will be “happy”. I just randomly said to Corey “you know even if we dont have a really really nice car…or a really nice…or a nice car, or a better house, and i hafta work all the time and never see a paycheck I’m really happy to be married to you and i couldnt ask for anything more.” Idk why i decided to share that on my website, it’s just nice to let people know that I’m happy even if I dont have everything i want. I mean i’m soo happy I love that i can come home after a long day at work and just spend the time hanging out with my best friend every day, I think that’s all I ever really want in life, this time that i have, i will always look back on and think these are the best days of my life, and right now they really are. I love Corey Andrew Potter and I am beyond happy to be his wife and live in this little condo with my little old car with a trash bag on the window and working at chick fil a 6-10 hours a day just to see my paycheck go away life is great!

On My Own

by Ashley ~ March 11th, 2009

AAAAAAHHHH!!! Corey is on one of his annual camping trips with Timmy.  He’s been gone since Monday evening and he wont be back til tomorrow (Thursday) arg. So I’ve been on my own going crazy lol. I hope I never have to live on my own ever it’s crazy I’m not doing that bad actually it’s just really quiet. Our bed is way too big for just little ole me, and I’m very good at ignoring the alarms to wake up…Corey always wakes me up…and last night I was anticipating the alarm going off and me missing it so I woke up and all I saw on the clock was 16 so I jumped up and freaked out and looked at my phone to find out why my alarm didnt go off…thinking i was 16 minutes late. But it wasn’t 6 16 it was 2 16 yay me! This has happened to me before back in high school I woke up and got in the shower and started drying my hair when i realized it was just 3…I was little angry when i had to finish drying my hair and then take another shower to fix my crazy bed hair when it was actually time to wake up….so luckily I didnt take a shower.  Anyways I woke up like 4 times last night which means I didnt get enough sleep to wake up at 6 and work 7-3 after less than 6 hours asleep because I couldnt fall asleep.  I can’t sleep without my boy :( I was soo tired today at work I thought I was going to pass out! I came staight home and took a nap and now I feel some what refreshed.

Prayer request:  One of the pastors at my church, Midtown, is pregnant well not really pregnant his wife is and she is really pregnant with 6 babies.  I think they are due in July…but on Saturday she went into preterm labor they were able to stop the babies from coming but they will have to stay in the hospital until the babies come which is a very long time…but last night I got a text message from Paul Copeland who has been keeping me informed with everything that is happening with them while in the hospital and he said that her water broke and she lost one of the babies…as far as I know. I’m hopping Paul is wrong but I’m not sure that he is :(. I cant imagine how Courtney is feeling…it’s got to be awful to loose a baby like that. It really makes me worry about what could happen when or if I’m pregnant. So keep them in your prayers you can keep updated from http://thetippingfamily.com.

fire

by Ashley ~ February 23rd, 2009

So tonight I’m sitting on the couch watching gilmore girls season 6 and my mom calles me and asks me if im watching the news she says that my park is on fire and i’m like my park? so I look it up on wistv.com and jones gap which is pretty much caesers head so i’m thinking great my favorite place ever which holds my favorite memories is burnt down. The last thing the article says is that firefighters managed to save symmes chapel (pretty place).  So my heart started beating again we’re good, i just cant even imagine how i would feel if this happened a year ago instead of now when i’m 6 months away from my wedding ahh!! so i’m relived that it was saved i would really be sad really sad.

half begun

by Ashley ~ February 16th, 2009

So, it’s been a very long time since i’ve updated this. The past couple of weeks it’s sad to say but i’ve spent all of my free time reading a series of books lol. There are 27 books that I have read and I’m patiently waiting for a few more that finish up the whole series there were three different series that I read but they all go together just different people and stuff.

Today Corey and I have been married for half a year! It has flown by I cant even believe we are half way through our first year of marriage, kind of sad but kind of exciting. It’s soo much fun knowing that everyday I’m going to wake up and spend everyday with my best friend. Which is what we do have a lot of fun. We are soo silly together. I love it when our friends look at us and say “gross” or “married people” lol There has been a couple of times when I just get lost in his eyes and it’s like we are the only ones in the world which happened yesterday and I just realized how cool it is! It’s an amazing feeling knowing that you have the strongest bond that exist between two people, you cant get much closer than a husband and wife. Ha earlier Corey was reading a card that said “you’re future wifey mrs. ashley potter” and he looked at me and said “whoa you’re a mrs. can you believe that” so being married hasnt officially hit us all the way lol. I LOVE BEING MARRIED!! and he thinks he’s the lucky one pshh.

I work a lot now and i’m starting to pick up more hours, I started off at 3 days a week 6 hours a day, now i’m averaging 4 days a week 8-10 hours a day, it just depends now. I really like working there and all the people. It’s a great place to work and I honestly believe it was answer to my prayers. Corey has been busy with photography last weekend we spend 5 days at the beach at a photographers convention, we learned a lot and are ready to get this business started all the way. I love going to the request off book at work and asking off with the reason of photography it makes me smile.

Our first valentines day was great! I had to work 7-3 saturday morning so while I was out my sweet husband cleaned our house and made me dinner, I came home to find 6 roses on the table each rose represented each month that we have been married, and a clean house, I was excited.  We took a nap, watched a movie, ate dinner, and played the wii, (which is what we do a lot now it’s so much fun). Oh I have to put this in here…he also made a website I dont agree with it but it’s sweet. http://coreylovesashleymore.com he is a nerd but a sweet one!

So that’s pretty much all that’s been happening the past couple of weeks. Thanks for reading!

Tis the season…to be sick

by Ashley ~ December 29th, 2008

It’s been a while since i’ve updated on this. I’ve been sort of busy, let me start off by saying I hope everybody had an amazing Christmas. Mine was great, It was fun to see all my family new and old. This year was our first official Christmas together, I mean we’ve been together for 6 years, so technically this was our 7 Christmas together (holy cow) but this one was the best yet! Waking up on Christmas morning and starting our own family traditions. A thought came to me this year, this is one of my last Christmas’s without a child in my life. That’s so weird to think about, a lot of people are giving us just like 2 or 3 years lol. I can promise that nothing will happen until we get a house I am 100% positive I will not raise a baby in this condo at all not even for a few months. I am beyond ready to get away, if our neighbors move it wont be as bad, we are having a lot of problems with our neighbors, which is aweful because technically this is a great place to live as newly weds. it’s a great first home, I know I complain about it, but it really could be worse.  who knows maybe our neighbors will leave sooner than we thought ;) of course we wouldnt have anything to do with that. Anyways, for Christmas we got an OVEN!! One of my major complaints about this place is our kitchen and esp. our oven, because it didnt work and we couldnt cook ANY thing, and Corey’s mom got us one for Christmas and I cant wait til it gets here!! We are gonna cook roast beef cassarole and cookies! the first night we have it. Hopefully it will be wenesday. Corey got me a new camera it’s a cannon 20D which is just a few steps down from his camera I’ll be able to help him at weddings now witha good camera and get better pictures. My mom got a puppy!!! Me and Corey had to babysit him for two weeks, because my step siblings didnt know about him, so we had to wait til Christmas. He is a 9 week old Chiwheenie (chihuahua dochsund mix) he is adorable I call him cutie face, they decided to name him oscar. I also got a job, I started on december 22. I work at Chick-fil-a, my favorite place to eat. It’s about time and good timing too, now we can save up and get a house and move out!

The past month has been a tough one, the first week of December I was sick in bed for two days and still felt sick with a stuffed nose for a week, and then two weeks later I developed a cough and I lost my voice and the day after Christmas right after my voice is finally back,  I get sent home from work, because I got sick, I went home got sick again (which made people question on rather or not I was pregnant, I can guarantee everybody that I am not pregnant!) and then slept for 5 hours, that was on friday and i spent the whole weekend battling my stomach and I think I’m over that now. Hopefully I’m over my sicknesses now, except Corey is feeling a little sick. He handles his sicknesses better than I do.

We’re going on ski trip on thursday, what a perfect way to start out the new year! We will be gone until Sunday. I’m excited for the new year, the past two years havnt been too amazing for me, besides getting engaged and married (which are the best thing I could ask for ever), but i’m ready for a full good uneventful year. I’m starting off great, I have a job, a wonderful husband who makes me soo happy, I’m working develping some hopefully long lasting friendships, and I’m working on my relationship with God. Our group of friends have had some pretty big changes in it and im excited to see how God works in our group.

That’s all my updates for now there’s a lot but it’s been a while.

Happiness!!
