About Me

Hello.

My name is Ashley. I live with my husband, Bryan, our baby, Sebastian Neville, and our dog, Yasmine, in a tiny college apartment in Greeley, Colorado. Greeley is not the pretty, mountainous part of Colorado you're thinking of, but the the flat, boring, agricultural part of the plains of Colorado, complete with gang violence, socioeconomic disparity, and a slaughterhouse with all the smells of cow blood and death that come with that. But it's growing on me. I guess. We have frozen yogurt now, so it's not so bad.

. I worked at Target for four years, which sucked the life out of me and mostly destroyed any faith I may have had in humanity. But I met my husband there, so I think I still won in the end.

I'm finishing up my degree in broadcast journalism at the University of Northern Colorado. I love to hear peoples' stories, give a voice to those who need it, and arm people with information. I'm currently taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom, and at the end of the year, I'll be applying for jobs and we'll move to wherever I get one, which could be anywhere.

2011 was the craziest year of my life, when our house was burglarized only to be followed by a gang shooting there two weeks later, which left me dealing with anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Later, our house caught on fire, and less than a month after that, I got pregnant. Although it was a stressful year, God used it in huge ways to teach me that He is in complete control of my life and that I don't need to worry about the unknown.

Our year of crazy also taught us the importance of living intentionally, dedicating our lives to loving God rather than following culture. We're working towards living simply and loving others.

I love Jesus, learning, stories, traveling, minimalism, bright colors, acting like a fool, semicolons, Harry Potter, awkward situations, eating things, and going on adventures. Here on the blog, you'll get a little of all of that.

I love to meet new people, so please email me or comment any time!
