Mrs.

Well if you can guess from the title, we got married :-)

I am so terrible at keeping up this here blog but whatever. March 29th was the day, and yes it was a Thursday if you are looking at a calendar and wondering. It was so fun and laid back. And everything went well!

I am now an old married woman, Mrs. Ashleigh Wendzel to be exact.

We went to Chicago for the weekend after the wedding, and it was really fun. I felt really wealthy since we stayed at the Ritz Carlton! Whoa! But it was so fun! Really pretty hotel as well!
We got city passes which was great, because then you have to wait in next to no lines and its a really sweet deal! If you go to Chicago, you should probably get yourself some city passes.

And now in less than 2 weeks we are going to Florida!!!! YES! And going to Universal Studios to none other than The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Oh yeah!

Yesterday we had my mom, stepdad and twins(sisters) over for Easter and it was way fun and all of my food was pretty tasty too!

So married life is good as well. It still seems strange to have someone there all the time but good as well. The only problem we had was my bed, which had a really comfy piece of memory foam for one person but with two people it was a FAIL!! Last Monday morning I could have really hurt someone because I got no sleep and I was mad! But.....problem solved without the memory foam:-) And I am now a much happier woman and maybe even wife, haha!!

A much needed post!

So I officially stink at keeping up my blog!

A lot has happened recently and yet there was silence! Oops! But here is an update...

1. I got engaged!!! Yep:-) its true! Jared asked me and I said yes. I suppose I should write the story but I'm not feeling very motivated currently so maybe tomorrow. Then it wouldn't be so long between posts.
2. I am getting married in 3 weeks from today!!! Ahh:-) I'm excited! Then in April we are going to Florida! Which will be fantastic!
3. I am going to Panama in July for 2 weeks! I am so looking forward to it! God is so good!
4. I read all of the hunger games books and loved, loved, loved them!! They are so good! I am so looking forward to the movie coming out, even though I don't have high hopes for it even coming close to the book, I still think it will be fun.
5. I can't think of anything else so that's all!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! And I'm going to be having one the above cakes today! I am pretty excited!!

It is from Boonzaaijer Bakery in Kalamazoo, it is my favorite place to have cake from. They are a dutch bakery and have other tasty dutch treats, and even chocolate letters at the right time of year. My great grandpa used to go to the Netherlands and would always bring us back the first letters of our name in Droste chocolate.

If you have never had their cakes, well you are missing out:-) If you are ever in the area you should definitely go buy a slice or a cake.

I Made It! (well almost)

I have survived 5 days of taking care of the twins, numerous horses, 4 dogs and 5 cats. Whew!

Well it wasn't bad at all, despite what I may have just made it seem like. It was fun! We did a lot of fun things and had lots of really tasty foods! Currently the twins are out riding their donkeys and I am finally relaxing.

We went to the library and I am currently reading The Hunger Games and finding it very good. I am trying to stay out of the book zone where all I think about is the characters and then forget about real life, but if I hadn't been watching the zoo all weekend I probably would be on book 2 at least and definitely in a book zone. So I guess its a good thing, I am in charge here.

On another note, my birthday is tomorrow! I both love and hate my birthday. I love it because well its my day, I can pretty much do what I want and for some reason I feel pretty special all day. But I don't really like it because I'm turning another year older, 26 to be exact. Where did 25 go? I feel like I just turned 25! and now tomorrow I will be 26! What?!

I don't really know what I might even want for my birthday, I need my hair hi-lighted so maybe I'll ask for that or I could really use some new make-up. I also need to decide where to eat for my birthday dinner, since it is my birthday I should probably decide. I am kind of leaning toward Olive Garden and getting the tasty ravioli that I love which has mushrooms and tasty sun dried tomato sauce. I think I may have just made my decision, now that I'm salivating and wishing I was eating that right now. I guess tonight I will have to settle for some Annie's organic Mac and Cheese.

Maybe you'll even get a post from me tomorrow on my birthday! I guess that will depend on what I end up doing with my day:-)

Brrr!!

Not only do we now have snow :-( but this morning it was 7 degrees! Super cold!
But I will admit it looks pretty see the attached photo:)

Off to church I go!

No snow, no snow, no snow! :-)

And yes, I am so glad about this!! :-D

I love that we havent had much snow at all, maybe 2 real snows. I know that not many people would not agree with me, but I am most definitely a fan. But then again, I could easily live where it is warm all the time.

So, seeing as I havent posted on here in well forever, here is an update.

Christmas was very great! I got spoiled at all of the Christmases I had:-) I got many fun things, even gnome pajamas! and a new front door! I cant wait to see it installed! I'm not ready to take down my Christmas decorations and see the emptiness that will be there. boo! But I think I may start taking things down tomorrow which makes me sad. I'm going to ask Jared to bring up all my storage bins and then I'll have to repack everything. And then it is going to look boring. Yuck! And that means that my Christmas tree will be coming down soon too, which also makes me sad. Its such a pretty tree. I really could see myself leaving the tree up all year but it might be weird to do that too. hehe!

I want to paint my refrigerator with chalkboard paint :-) Maybe to make myself less depressed about Christmas decorations being down I'll do this! If and or when I do, I'll post pictures.

I got a new dog! Her name is Zeena, shes a doberman and such a lovely lady! I'm very glad she is now a part of my animal family.

Well I am off to waste some time on Pinterest(which I just love!!)

Question?

Which bear is best?
False! Black bear.

Haha! For those of you watch the office you might find that funny. Either way I'm smiling. :-)

I am also posing the question how long can I go without blogging? Apparently quite awhile! So I am sorry fellow readers for the fail of monumental proportions! (maybe a slight exaggeration)

Tonight I wanted to write about how I actually really enjoy my job when I'm working with a pleasant and caring surgeon. Who actually wants to take care of and has sympathy and empathy for their patient. It's refreshing to see and know that there are still good people and doctors in the world:)

Well that's a quick thought since I am going to bed. And a little Christmas tree photo
