Ashley’s Version - Michael took me on a date to see King’s of Leon in the fall of 2009. He “courted” me like no man ever had. He treated me like a lady (and that is what he calls me - for my beer drinking abilities!). I kicked and screamed at first, but I soon came to my senses, and realized what an idiot I would be to walk away from someone who made me his world. We lived a fun life: bars, high-end restaurants, just picking up and going whenever and wherever our hearts desired. But my heart started to desire a children. The baby fever was at an all time high in 2013. So, on July 24th, 2014 - we welcomed Juliana Grace into our family. That next year would be the best and the hardest year of our lives. Here is a quick run down of events: Our beautiful dog Kobe unexpectedly passed away when Juliana was 8 weeks old, Juliana had to have an MRI and other test done to rule out seizures at 11 weeks old, Michael was laid off after 20 years with Marathon Oil, Juliana got diagnosed with severe food allergies, Michael’s new job is terrible so he resigns, Michael battles depression, Ashley battles anxiety. Yep, in the span of ONE YEAR. So here we are now. - OPPOSITE FAMILY! I work in corporate America for a Fortune 500 company as a small business consultant. Michael is a stay at home dad to our 2 year old daughter. I hope you enjoy our journey!
