I elect to be unanonymously ANGRY

For those of you that know my family, you all know the struggles that we've been through the past couple of years. The hardest struggle was losing my sweet niece Kylie Brielle Keith. Not only was losing her difficult, but trying to comfort my sister and brother-in-law while they faced the hardest decisions and situations of their lives. They've faced hard times, but they've made it through with faith, hope, and most of all Love. Recently, an anonymous poster posted some extremely hateful, painful, hurtful things on my sisters blog. I think this person is a coward for not owning up to their comments and opinions, I also think this means they are ashamed of what they were saying therefore they couldn't place their name with their words. I think they are insecure about their own lives, in turn placing blame and hate on others to make themselves feel better. I think this person is heartless, because anyone with a heart could never say such painful things. I pray that this person is not a friend of mine, and if they are, I hope I find out soon, because they do not deserve and ounce of my time. My family is my life. How dare you (anonymous poster) say things to stab my sister right in her grieving, suffering heart. Before you judged my sister and the life that she lives, you should remember that you will have a judgment day, I hope you enjoy what you find about yourself on that day.

Sincerely,
The UNanonymous angry sister!

bittersweet victory

     After several hours of sinking in, it is still hard to believe that we (auburn) have finally gained a national title. I feel that those boys deserved every point, every victory, and every championship they gained this football season. I have read and listened to harsh words spoken about my team and its players my entire life, and I knew that even in a season like this those harsh words would never be silenced. It seems to be the name of the game..less about football and more about accusations, jealousy, and down right tactless people making ignorant innuendos about a team and a group of fans. After every victory, I smiled especially after Monday night January 10th 2011, because I knew that no matter what anyone else thought or said or even did, no one could ever take these moments away from me. The passion that I feel about this football team and way of life can never be lessened or taken away by ignorance and jealousy. I couldn't imagine sitting on the edge of the couch with 2 seconds left in the BCS national championship game in a house full of anyone different than my daddy, my momma, and my sister. (the kids and brother in law and of course my hubby are included as well), but those 3 people are the 3 people I know I can always count on to have the exact same passion in Auburn as I do. My daddy made sure that we understood from birth what Auburn was, and I can never thank him enough for instilling those beliefs on me. The first thing I thought of when the ball sailed between the uprights was my dad, and how I couldn't wait to hug him because he has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. We've talked about it and dreamed about it. We've hoped and prayed for it. We always knew we would experience it, but never were quite sure when. His "War Eagles" mean so much. I couldn't have imagined celebrating that victory without him.

So I part with this, before you open your mouth to an Auburn fan with some ridiculous ignorant comment, remember the feeling of winning the BCS national championship game (which shouldn't be a problem considering y'all throw the amount of times you've won in our faces all the time) and know that no matter what you say, we're still national champs. ;) And we couldn't be more proud. WAR DAMN EAGLE <3

No time to spare.

With the fall semester of school coming down to the wire, I have essays and assessments coming out of my ears. I have work to attend to, and on top of everything, we're going to try to get the house listed this weekend!! eek! it's not even clean enough for anyone to come through.. how are we going to have it ready for the Realtor to come on Saturday. Although there are so many things i should be doing other than writing this blog, I thought i owed it to myself to take a few moments of reflection. With the Holiday season in full affair I find myself thinking of miss Kylie Brielle even more so than usual. I miss her unbelievably. I am so thankful for the strong support system I have that includes my family(Mom, dad, sissy, and chris especially), my old friends (Bee, Kelle, C-lo, and Jess especially), and my new group of friends from work (all of you She-She, GiGi, Sara P., Jessie, Tara...and the list goes on) and most of all my husband for putting up with me at my worst and continuing to love and support me all the way through to my best. I wouldn't make it through each day without the love and support of each of you and you have no idea how much it means to me to have you all in my life. Just wanted to say thanks for all that you guys unknowingly do for me on a daily basis. I love you all!

and to Jon...I apologize for being difficult and moody lately. You are amazing to me and I greatly appreciate all that you do for me and our family. You're my rock. Even the strongest of us need someone stronger to lean on sometimes. You're always here. I couldn't ask for a better husband. I want you to know how much I love you day in and day out, and I never want you to feel unappreciated. Thanks babe..for simply being you and for the little things you do. I love you.

Straight from my heart to yours,
Ashley B

My first time

Hello blogging world. This is my first time as a "blogger" short of Myspace blogs and facebook notes. I have decided that due to an unbelievable amount of stress lately, I need a way to release tension in my head and my heart. I used to do this by writing, so what better time to begin blogging. I also feel this will give my friends and family members a way to understand my emotions without having to ask or without my having to explain. Sometimes its hard to find the words to express a feeling or emotion. So welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy the little tidbits of my life.

I'm a 22 year young mother of a 1 year old and wife of two years. I enjoy every moment that I have with my friends and my family. Sometimes I am pessimistic and crazy, at other times I am bubbly and bold. I do things that no one can explain, sometimes they are good choices sometimes bad. I make so many mistakes that I can't keep up, and I'm extremely insecure, but this is my life and I don't think I would have it any other way.
