Past few weeks

WOW!!! The past few weeks have been a little crazy. Let me share a little bit of our craziness. We decided to bless Corbin Memorial Day weekend. It would have been great except I had to have surgery that Saturday. My IUD got lost so they had to go fish it out. We still blessed Corbin on Sunday because our parents came for that. We only stayed for sacrament because I was in a lot of pain, I was supposed to do sharing time that day and be the only one in the presidency there, but thanks to wonderful people in our ward I did not have to worry about primary. Then on Memorial Day we packed up the van because Nick was leaving the next day and traveling down south. The boys and I then flew to Columbia, SC on Wednesday for my cousin's graduation. Nick meet us there and we spent a great relaxing week in SC.
Next we all headed down to FL for Nick to start working. The first week was okay, but the next was a totally different story. They were finding that most of Tallahassee was gated communities and no soliciting areas so they could not sell there instead they were traveling all over and I spend the second week by myself with 3 children. That week the wonderful neighbor above us called the cops on me because she thought I was beating Brodie. (He was just throwing a 2 year old fit.) So that was a lot of fun. That week they also decided that we probably would not stay in FL and move to Savannah, GA and also would be going to Panama City. So Nick and I discussed our options and decided it was best for me and the boys to just go home. I would much rather be at home alone then in a strange place alone. The Sunday before we left Father's Day we also celebrated Brodie's 2nd birthday, I can't believe he is two. We left the next day for my parents house in OK. We are here now and will be headed back home in the morning. It is going to be a long summer, but hopefully Nick will make enough so that we can see him more during school next year.
Also Nick has most of our recent pictures on his laptop so as soon as he emails them to me I will add pictures from Corbin's blessing and Brodie's birthday. I hope all is well with everyone and everyone at home I will see you soon.

We're sorry to hear about all the drama. But I'm glad you'll be around your friends in ND to help. I hear they're wonderful. I am so impressed about how you handled the "neighbor" lady. You're awesome. This too shall pass . . . Love you.

I spelled your name wrong, so I had to redo my comment. :) What I said was - Ashlee, you are a strong woman! Way to go. Sounds like you are going to have all kinds of fun stories to tell Brodie when he gets older. "Remember that time the neighbor thought you were dying?" Oh the joys.
Corbin is a doll! He looks just like his dad.

Man!!! That is a lot of craziness going on! I'm sorry you have to deal with the three kids alone! But I agree I'm glad that you will be back in a familiar place with friends!! :)

I'm scared all the time with the fits that Makenna pulls that someone will wonder what's going on in our house too.... but I can't believe your neighbor really called the cops! lol

We love you guys!!! Hang in there!!
