Bucking Bronc Rider

I have always love to draw. Unfortunately, older I have gotten, the less time I spend doing it. Well, inspiration struck. I saw a photo of a bronc rider in the paper and I thought to myself “that would be cool to draw”. Three days later I finished it.

Sleep Talking

The other, night Josh fell asleep on the couch. It was time to go to bed and I woke him up saying, “Josh, lets get you into bed”. (or something to that effect) He then replied, sleepily, “Which bed?” Now, we only have one bed. It is the same bed we have been sleeping in for the past two years, and that is what I told him.

He got up and got himself ready for bed, brushed his teeth, took his medicine, used the restroom, ect. When he got into bed he curled up in a ball and started to whine. I asked him what was going on. He told me he didn't know where our bed was. Yes, he was laying in our bed. I was very confused with what he was saying and with the fact that he very upset. I began quizzing him about where he thought he was and I realized he was still asleep!! So now that I understood why nothing he was saying made sense I could play 20 questions with him.

What did the bed look like?
Is it big? No.
Is is small like for a barbie? No, it is not big and not little, it is brown.
Where the last place you saw our bed: I don't remember.
Did you loose the bed: I don't remember.
Did someone stole our bed: yes.

Who stole our bed?...
James and Brittany? No.
Jason and Katie? No.
Did I steel our bed? No.
I was stumped.. oh!
Did someone from the front desk steel our bed? Yes.

DUN DUN DUN...

He was still upset and had a slight whine in his voice. I figured it was best to let it be. To ease his mind I told him that no one broke into the house and nothing was missing. With that, he was back into a deep sleep.

Ashley Sings

The Ellen Degeneres Show was doing a Bathroom Concert Series where viewers video taped themselves singing in their bathrooms. I made one of my own. Yes, I do realize that I do not have a single musical bone in my body, so bear with me.

Anasazi Valley

A while back the was an article in the local paper about some petroglyphs in town. Yesterday, Josh and I went for a hike to see some find them. It was a very nice day; sunny with a slight breeze. It took us a while to find the trial head because the article just gave the general location. Once we found it, we were off. We walked, and we walked, finally finding three drawings. Only three drawings! Josh and I skinnied down the cliff and stumbled over the boulders looking for more. We never found the big rock covered with drawings that was pictured in the article. The trail continued on so we thought that maybe that big rock was further down the trail. 15 minutes later we passed other fellow hikers and asked them if there is more drawings up ahead and they told us that no more were up ahead and that the trail goes another mile towards town and back up by the way of the river bed. So we turned around to start our journey back. I went to take pictures with my camera, and it didn't have a memory card in it. Luckily, Josh's phone is awesome and takes really good photos. These are the are us on our hike and the three petroglyphs:

SNOW STORM

The last weekend, Josh and I drove up to Lehi to see his parents. We left right at 7 a.m. when we got off the graveyard shift Saturday morning. Just past Hurricane, as we began our climb to higher altitudes, it began to snow. I have never seen black ice, and Josh showed me what it looked like. Further up, the road turned to slush, then there was no road at all! An hour into our drive and we were not even half way to Cedar City yet! We had to drive slow, but still fast enough that the tires stayed warm to prevent ice buildup. We passed many vehicles that were going too fast and had slide off the road. Finally, we made it to Filmore and it cleared up and there was a road to follow again!

I love the time we get when we go on trips together. We have the most amazing conversations about the most random things!

Josh Massage Classes

Josh has started massage school. He is doing well, the instructor has actually asked him to slow down on his homework!! He goes to school every Friday for a two hours. Then there are other classes that are only one or two weeks long. For those classes he must go every day Monday - Friday. So on Friday's he will go to school for two classes. Then there are a few classes that are Saturdays only.
His school work seems to be just as confusing. There is two or three books for ever class. Reading, coloring and cd listening for each class. Then each new class he starts he gets new books. His syllabus have pages of assignments he needs to accomplish. He tries to explain it to me. But it confuses me way too much. I really do not know how he is keeping everything straight.
This is week is the first week were he has class Monday - Friday, plus a Saturday class. Homework every night due the next day AND he goes to work. He is so tired. After this week is over he does not have another Monday - Friday class for a few months and hopefully the homework will lessen.
