“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21

Christmas is the favorite time of year for many people, it’s great! No school, no work, family and friends, and lots and lots of new stuff. I mean those are things that i’ve been looking forward to. But today i started thinking about Christmas…I’m sad to say that I’m one of those people that has gotten caught up in buying gifts for people and wondering what I’m gonna get, honestly when I thought of Christmas that’s what I thought of…gifts. I never thought about the real reason for the season. Then just randomly as I’m driving home from work I found myself thinking about little baby Jesus and how awesome he is, I mean could you imagine how Mary and Joseph felt? I cant imagine how I would feel when I give birth to my own child…not the son of God. The day that baby was born…our lives were changed forever! and we weren’t even close to being born yet at all.That is just…soo crazy! I love it! I love God! There’s just soo much that you dont even think about, he shows us His awesomeness in so many different ways.

I dont want to make a long post like usually, I just wanted to remind yall the real reason to celebrate…dont get too caught up in gifts and material possessions. Have a merry CHRISTmas! Enjoy every minute of it and thank God for everything you have and you’re getting because you wouldn’t have anything without him, because without Him you have nothing, but with Him you have everything. …I’m just overwhelmed with God!

Merry CHRISTmas!

The other day I got into the fall mood I love fall soo much! I was telling Corey everything I loved about it, “i love the trees, the colors, the cold, the smells, the warmth in your house (or a nice electric blanket), good food, family…”  as soon as i said family tears just started running down my face I didnt even have time to hold them back. It’s been three years and it still really hurts. It still affects me family is a touchy subject to me. I miss them so much, I feel like I had a close family, we spent time together we laughed and had so much fun, and I’ve probably seen them maybe 5 days in the last two years even three, cause I worked for them but I didnt really spend time with them. This time of year is my favorite but theres always some point during this time when I get really upset and I feel so left out. I know my family would love to have my around but honestly I dont know what’s worse not seeing them or seeing them be a family with the people who seem to have taken my life.  I felt like I needed to get that out. Anyways on a happy note I saw my Papa for the first time since last Christmas and it made me soo happy. I hugged him and then I smelt like him for the rest of the day :) you really dont know how much something means to you until it’s gone.

Dont get me wrong I love Corey’s family every person in that family is amazing. I am so blessed to be apart of their family. I feel like I’ve been a part of it for over 6 years now it’s a good feeling to know that I really am. I used to think my family was a great family and nothing could break us apart….obviously that’s not true, but I honestly believe it’s true for Corey’s family, and that is a true blessing from God for me.

Our next lesson in Sunday School is about family (ironic) and the last lesson of the topic has a question “does the decisions you make affect your family?” Obviously in my situation selfishness from the people in my family have really really really affected me, it’s not even fair what me and the rest of my family have been through because one person was selfish. I love my dad everybody does stuff they aren’t proud of…or their family is proud of. You should really pay attention to the decisions you make but they can affect somebody in a good or bad way, so every decision you make please think through it. Maybe it’s not the decision you make, it’s the way you make it and when you make it. Thinks could have been soo much different if things were done in diffferent orders. If you dont know what I’m talking about that probably doesnt make sense but that’s ok not everybody needs to know all the stupid details about my life.

So dont forget to be thankful for the family you do have, even if they are crazy or drive you crazy, one day you might wake up and your life could be turned upside down.

That’s all I have to say.
oh yeah one more thing…

IN A WEEK FROM TODAY I WILL BE 21!! I’m a a little excited.

ps btw any family member that reads this, I love yall! I really do miss you, maybe one day I’ll grow up and not have such a hard time…

(almost) it’s still august 15 but I figured it’s close enough I can go ahead and update…since it’s been forever since I’ve updated. I can’t believe it’s been a year…it’s kinda made me crazy. You know how a lot of people get upset and cry when it’s their 30 Birthday…well I think I’ve been like that for our anniversary I just feel old. I’m only 20 and it’s only my first anniversary…I’m just sad that it’s over like the whole wedding, bride, newly weds, and all the new stuff. We’re just another married couple. Corey has been pushing the idea in my head that we aren’t normal and we probably wont ever be normal because we don’t want to be normal. So that’s sinking in…and atleast being newly newly weds we werent normal…I guess we still aren’t normal because it’s been a year and I’ve only not been a teenager for less than a year. lol. I think I’m over all that dumb depressing stuff. All year we have tried to plan a big trip to Florida or something and we get to the time to plan it for real and it turns out that at the last minute we cant do anything like that not even for a weekend, some stuff has come up and it just wasn’t going to work. so that has really upset me…but I was being selfish and it’s just put me in a bad mood and everything I tried to plan wasn’t going to work. But it’s ok…tomorrow is going to be so much fun. I’m going to have soo much fun because it’s my FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! That is soo exciting because it’s a real anniversary not a fake one and it’s one that really means something. It’s crazy that we made it all the way to 7 years and now we are starting over at 1 but it’s ok this is for real i’m not gonna have the thought in my head at all if we are gonna have another anniversary…bc I know we are…forever! This year has been amazing it’s been so much fun. My gift to Corey was a scrapbook of our first year, I’ve been working on it and there’s so many happy memories.  It’s really been a good year. I fall more in love with my husband everyday…there’s a lot of days in forever and soo much more love to fall in. It’s like the song by brad paisley “i thought i loved you then” I’m excited to see what comes in the next years so many more memories to make being married is just soo amazing I love EVERY second of it.

Soo my wonderful hubby and his best friend Timmy, though it would be fun to go on a 80 mile hiking trip on the foothills trail. yeah 80 miles…it’s supposed to be like a 7 or 8 day hike. Corey left on thursday night, they started hiking Friday morning, and on Thursday night 7 days after he left he surprised (scared me to death when I walked in the door) 2 days early. It drove me crazy being away from him and barely talking to him but I had a lot of work to do. When he left I went to the beach with our college sunday school class girls it was fun, I’m glad I went on that. When I got home on Sunday I started cleaning, I cleaned the carpet Monday and Tuesday night and some Wednesday morning, and after i cleaned the carpet that morning my mom, kim and I started painting the dining room and living room blue! Then Corey and Kim painted the hall and kitchen yellow. It looks soo good, with a new brown couch cover and blue pillows.  We are making plans for the bathroom and bedroom its making me feel more at home in this condo. I kinda like it :)
Other than that…OH! Corey and I (mainly Corey) are the 11th grade sunday school teachers at North Trenholm, it’s going great! I think everybody likes us. But that’s about it. I gotta get back to finishing the scrapbook.

]]> http://coreyandashley.com/august-16-2009-1-year-later/feed/ memories http://coreyandashley.com/memories/ http://coreyandashley.com/memories/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 02:59:25 +0000 Ashley http://coreyandashley.com/?p=189 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

]]> http://coreyandashley.com/memories/feed/ Happy http://coreyandashley.com/happy/ http://coreyandashley.com/happy/#comments Tue, 12 May 2009 03:55:15 +0000 Ashley http://coreyandashley.com/?p=183 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!

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.

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.
