I have quite a few friends that keep their friends and family up to date on their children and lives with their own blog, and thought it would be a fun way to share pictures and our lives with you without oversharing on Facebook :) We are going to try our best to keep everybody up-to-date with our happenings. I (Ashley) originally was going to make this a pregnancy journey blog, but since we have so many other things going on at the same time, we thought it would be fun to include everything. So come along with us on our crazy journey through babies, new home ownership, and life in general.
Background info for those that don't know:
Stephen and I have been together for a little over 5.5 years now, thanks in large part to my brother, Shannon. See, Stephen and Shannon were fraternity brothers at Purdue. Luckily Stephen and I didn't start our journey together until well after college, once we got our craziness out of our system :) I was living with Shannon and Amie for a short time when I first moved down to Indy and would hang out with their friends occasionally. Long story short, Stephen and I started to hang out 'in secret' until we were ready to tell our family, and most importantly, Shannon that we have been dating for the past few months. His only advise? "Don't get her pregnant".
Five and a half years, two cats, two houses and a wedding later, I AM PREGNANT! Sorry Shannon.
We both come from very close families and groups of friends. And with those close friends and family, comes lots and lots of babies as well. At the moment we just were a part of our 6th and 7th niece and nephew born! - my SIL's were 3 weeks apart (which means all 3 DeVon children were pregnant at once)! This brings our total baby count of closest friends/family to 23 infants and toddlers under 4. Yikes!
We also just moved into a new house at the beginning of January. It just so happens to be across the street (literally) from our old house. Yep, subtract nine digits from our previous address and you have our new address. It sounds like it would have been easy, however due to our crazy neighbors and working directly with them, as opposed to how civilized people buy a house, aka with a realtor, there were numerous trials and set backs along the way. So now our focus is on making the house 'ours'. The decor and style of the previous owners was, shall we say, interesting.... So lucky for me, I have a handy husband and friends that are helping us make this house our home.
