mamma

Scott & I got into a little tiff today, what about doesn't maytter. All that matters is that I was upset and my mom calls. She instantly knows something is bothering me and miraculously she calms me down in less than 3 minutes. She has been doing this since my birth; from friends, to boys, to my dad, to my siblings. I've always been one to be a bit on the emotional side and sometimes a bit dramatic as well, I would have fit it well with the drama nerds that filled my high school choir, well high school in general. ;D Anywho, the point of all this is that I have an amazing mother. I know a lot of people look down on the relationship that we have, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Most girls fight with their moms when they are in their teens, myself included, but it takes them a while to become friends with their mom. My mom and I skipped that part, we have always been close and I'm so thankful for that. It scares me to think what trouble I would have gotten into had I not been able to talk to my mom about everything. So I'm sorry to the people who disagree with the way my mother raised me and to those who don't understand our relationship & bond. But I love it!

She is the most incredible person I have ever met. She always puts her family first and does what ever she can just to put a smile on their faces. She goes out of her way to make the people in her life feel special and loved. And she has such a big heart. There are plenty of things that have been said to my mother that she has just brushed off and turned the other cheek, there have been people who have hurt her and she's welcomed them back with open arms. She is so level headed and calm. I'm not sure how she does it, but I hope that one day I can be a little like her. She truely is an amazing person.

I read some where that at the age of 4; mom knows everything. At the age of 8; she knows a lot. At 12; mom doesn't really know everything. At 14; mom doesn't know anything at all. At 16; mom doesn't exist. At 18; she's old fashioned. At 25; maybe mom does know about this. At 35; before we decide, let's ask mom. At 45; I wonder what mom things. At 75; I wish I could ask mom about this. Reading this made me laugh because I know I felt at some points in my life that my own mamma didn't know anything. But then it also made me a little sad because there are people who never get past some of those younger stages in life. And I'm not sure who is at fault for this, but its still sad.

Anywho, now I'm just rambling. Back to my point; I just wanted to let my mamma know how much she is loved by both me and my baby brother. I hope she knows we think about her and send our love her way every single day. And every single day I appreciate everything she has done for us. <3

dresses for charity

My sister-in-law, Amber, e-mailed all of us asking if we had any extra bridesmate dresses to donate to girls who couldn't afford formal dresses, and I have 2 dresses to donate, but she lives in texas and its pretty expensive to ship my dresses out there. Does anyone know of anywhere around the Ogden/SLC area that does a similar thing? Because my dresses are just taking up space in a closet. I don't want to part with my Sr. Cotillion dress, but I have no use for it. I just feel so pretty wearing it. Ahahaha

Can you believe that it is already almost September?!?! This summer flew by. God, this whole year has flown by. It kind of makes me sad, I never even got to go to the drive in this summer. And hardly used the rollar blades Scott bought us. :( I'm hoping we can go camping over labor day weekend like we did last year, but Michael & Emily's wedding is the Saturday before, so I don't know how much Scott will want to go, or if he'll even have it off. :( Bummer. Tyler leaves in a couple days which is a bummer, I'm not ready for him to leave yet. But we only have to wait till Thanksgiving to see him. :D

Mamma is going to Mesquite this weekend for a few days, I know you don't care about that, but while she's there she is bbooking our hotel room for our Vegas trip in March! WaHoo!!!! I'm not sure what hotel for sure yet, but it will be March 18-22. :D I'm super excited. Can we just skip the next few months? LOL

Scott's Birthday Party

Well, Scott's surprise birthday party was a hit! We had fun for the most part, there was a couple minor drama moments, but it's all good because I know I'm better than that dumb bitch and that douche bag. :D He loved his wii and his new game and 'other surprises'. :D I hope he liked the 'other surprises' as much as his wii. ahaha Tons of people came over and all my parents helped me out sooo much! My mamma & Chris got him out of the house for part of the evening and watched ty for half the day. And my dad & Nik came over early and helped with the food which was a huge help. I'm really glad that his Jesse & Brad came down from Brigham to celebrate his birthday, I think it made him pretty happy. :D

I'm pretty excited for the next year and pretty stressed out too. I'm going back to school in June and have to save pretty much ALLLLL my extra money to pay for school, bills, and new tires. :( bleh. It totally blows, especially because I want some new pants and some new boots for winter. Meh, oh well. It will be worth it in the long run. By this time next year I'll be a much happier person in a much better place! Speaking of being in a better place, Scott got the job at the jail and the one at the nursing home. We both think the job at the nursing home would be a better choice. So hopefully he can get all of the paperwork done and start soon. :D

I think things are turning around in our lives, I think the drama of our families is finally over, and I couldn't be happier. His mom and I are getting along, and my family has always liked him. His parents officially met all my parents at his party, and it went quite well. I'm very happy about our lives right now. :D I'm so lucky to grow old with him!

I did go through with cutting my hair, and I love it! It is soooo easy to take care of. It takes me literally 10 minutes to get ready after I get out of the shower compared to my old 45 minutes. It's really wonderful! ahahah And now you can actually see my gauges, which is nice; lots of people didn't even know I had them. But, I do miss having long hair. I think that after I start school I'm going to get some extensions. And probably some lash extensions! Holla! ahahaha. I want the lash extensions now, but need to save my money. :(

Oh, so I have started watching Jersey Shore, and LOVE IT!!! ahahaha. It is hilarious! And shockingly, Tyler likes watching it too. Which is pretty funny. "I'm in Miami, I don't want girls studying for finals, I want girls studying for dick!!!" -Vinny. ahahaha LOVE IT!

Well, I think that's it for now. I'll keep you updated on Scott's job situation. :D hugs and loves to all!

OH YEAH!!!! go check out what Scott made for me: www.ashleybachman.com
yeah, I know, it's amazing! ahaha He did that all himself! Quite impressive if I do say so myself. LOL

facebook.

So, I was just reading everyone's posts from facebook this morning while sitting at work when I came across a very disturbing one. It read, "Christ, I want a baby!!". Now, this was only scary because the person who posted this is 20 and his girlfriend is 19. His previous post was, "I need a car. Cheap!". From that post I'm assuming they aren't financially stable. I'm not quite sure if this person was kidding or not, but I do know they've wanted a baby since high school. When will 'kids' learn the babies aren't all fun & games? I don't think they realize the time and money that baby is going to cost them. Or the sleep, or the relationships, and the list goes on. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe they have taken all of this into account and still want a baby. I wanted to say something so badly, but decided it wasn't my place so I kept my big mouth shut.
On a lighter note, I'm pretty stoked for this coming weekend. Scott and I are going to kris & tonya's wedding tomorrow. And when toyna and I talked about it, she let me know we will be dancing the night away, which sounds wonderful to me. LOL Then on Saturday I have to work a half day but then, courtney & I are going to get my hair cut into a faux hawk. if anyone has any cute ideas on how to style it or clips to put in it let me know! I'm super excited. Then on Sunday my mamma is taking Scott, Sky, Ty, Chris, & I to lagoon! Yay!! I can't wait to go have some fun in the sun. LOL
Scott's mom, Wannetta, and I have been getting along and I couldn't be happier about that. Its a huge weight lifted off of me. You have no idea. And Ty's been here which has been fun.
Oh and Scott's suprise is coming up! I can not wait for his birthday! I'm just waiting on 1 more thing to come in the mail. Yay! I'll tell you all about it after he gets it because I know he reads this. Hi baby. LOL
Well, I should probably get back to work. I'll be filling you in on Scott's suprise after he gets it. And I'll post pics of my cute new hair soon :D Have a good day everyone!!
