Married Life

Life after the I-do's has been great. I never realized how much of a pain in the but it was going to be to get my name changed! lol And I still haven't changed my passport or my sin card! Jeez lol who knew it would be such a hassle :P. Totally worth it though I love being Ashylla Smith! Sounds pretty good doesn't it!

I feel like summer flew by we were busy planning the wedding and were crazy busy every single weekend. We were happy to finaly have some free time after to enjoy the rest of the summer. We went hiking with mom and dad and kinz in waterton. It was beautiful! We have had such great weather this summer!

 

It was so fun having Nick and Jace and there boys here so much this summer! I absolutely adore my nephews and I really wish they were closer so I could love and spoil them all the time!!

 

 

I also had a not so fun experience... I was driving home from magrath to pincher early one saturday morning and I wasn't paying good enough attention and I missed my turn off and went speeding onto a gravel road.. luckily I somehow managed to not roll but i was swerving all over the road and ended up in the ditch.. ending my poor car's life but I was fine! I feel very lucky to have walked away from the accident but it was definately a wake up call, and now I have to suffer through not having a  vehicle! But I am very greatful that I am okay. Poor Matt had an early wake up call but he's such a good husband, he didnt even get mad at me once! He just came and got me hugged me and took care of getting it towed while i spent the day at home crying. I love that man!

 

 

We decided it was time for a visit to Calgary To watch Christie's boyfriends band Venom Rain play a show and to visit Lori and Rodney! It was lots of fun! We love going to calgary! And I miss Lori and Christie all the time!!

 

Poor Dre got sick and we had him in and out of the vet twice! He's doing much better now but he was so hilarious hoped up on some kind of doggy pain killer I couldnt resist but to a post a picture! We love our Dre so so much he is our baby and I dont know what we'd do without him.

 

Matt decided to get a new piece for the "man cave" soo we visited our favorite store! LAKNO and purchased the new addition to his man cave :)

 

 

I LOVE being an aunty!! I love going home for visits and getting the hang out with my beautiful niece! She is the cutest and I love spoiling her and watching her grow up she is so smart!! And so helpful I just love her so so much!

 

Mom and I took one of our awesome trips to Cutbank! We absolutely love our day trips to the states! We usually end up spending way to much money... well I do atleast but its so worth it we hit JC penies, then hit up the mall and every store in it, get some lunch at mcdonalds, and then do some grocery shopping at Albertsons! I loove these trips with my momma This trip we discovered ranch flavored wheat thins! They are deeelicious!! lol and We decided we needed some super hero shirts.. haha mom got spider man and I got the hulk!! I love my momma to bits and pieces and can hardly wait for our next trip to cutbank!! xxo

 

Since I crashed my car we've been doing some car shopping. Which is always an adventure lol Matt is very indecisive. I love him for it! He wants to make sure we are getting the best deal, soo it could be awhile :P but we are having fun looking around and test driving vehicles! I am hoping for an SUV.. we will see!!

 

Thanksgiving! Wow do I have alot of things to be thankful for! We had an awesome thanksgiving. Nick and jace and the boys came home so we were all home! minus kinz and chance who are in Costa Rica! We had dinner at moms on sunday with the family it was so great. I am so thankful for my loving family! I am so thankful for my loving husband and for my great life! I honestly dont think life gets much better than this! We went to grandma and grandpa smiths Monday with all the smith family! It was great I love my smith family they are so great I am so thankful for them! This year I branched out and decided I'm a grown up I can contribute to thanksgiving dinner so I made pumpkin cheesecake! and wow as it delicious I think I will have to make it every thanksgiving from now on it was a success :)

 

While Jace was home for the Holidays we all piled in East and Kass's vehicle and made a trip to Lethbridge.. Jace Hall and I somehow got put in the back back seat.. which means we all had to climb through the back hatch over the seat and squish on a small seat in the back it was quite hilarious i wish i could have videoed us getting in and out!! so fun I love my sisters it was fun to snuggle with them in the back :)

 

Matt has been gone for the past 2 weeks to training in Red deer... anyone that knows me, knows i do not do well home alone buuut I thought I'd be brave and try to sleep here alone.. needless to say its been a tough couple of weeks and I can hardly wait for my hubby to be home tomorrow! I have been on edge I lock all 3 locks on both doors and I sleep with the bed light on.. I know I'm a baby but I'm okay with it! lol And also.. I have been letting Dre sleep in the bed with me! haha Thank goodness for Dre I would have had to take 2 weeks off and go home if it wasn't for Dre!

 Also Winter has officially arrived! I'm excited because that means christmas is coming! But at the same time I dont know that im ready for the cold and the crapy roads! On the plus side Dre looves the snow its so cute he jumps and bounds through the snow and is always begging me to let him out!

 

 

 

Life is great I am enjoying being Mrs. Smith and I am excited for our many adventures to come we are goin on our honey moon at the end of November and we can hardly wait!! :)
