Post 6 - A picture of you a year ago and a picture of you now. Explain how you've changed.
Ashley:
Ryan:
My outlook on life has definitely changed! Seems like everything I do now is to try to make a better future for our family, no more living day to day! Oh, and the 30 lbs that Ashley lost through child birth....I found them over the past year! (Ashley interjects -- no he has not!!!)

| About a year ago... |
Ashley:
 |
| Now! |
Well, I'll state the obvious. I am about 30 lbs lighter than I was a year ago! ha ha. I was pregnant with Mr. Connor at the time, so therefore I have become a mommy, duh!! I think my views on everything have changed in the past year since becoming a parent. It really isn't something I can explain other than I look at things differently.
Oh...and my definition of a "good night's sleep" has changed considerably!:)

Post 5 - Nicknames you have and why you have them
Ashley:
I have not been called this one for years, but growing up I had the nickname 'Pooh Bear'. I am told it came from my cousin's mother, and I guess it stuck for awhile when I was a baby & toddler!
I sometimes also get Ash, but not very often. Some other nicknames in middle and high school were Schell (maiden name) and Frosty (because I got my hair highlighted).
I guess I don't have a nickname that has stuck for my entire (almost) 26 years!
Ryan:
Britty

Post 4 - Someone you wish to switch lives with for a day and why
Ashley:
This was a hard one for me!! But, after much pondering and asking Ryan for ideas, I've decided that I would want to switch lives with my Pop when he was in his teens/early 20s! I love to hear stories about how things were "back then" and about the prices of things compared to present day. I think it would be neat to see how much things have changed in the past 80 years.
Ryan:
This is easy! I'd love to switch places with Connor for a day.....so that I could experience what it is like to be carefree and without stress. Except, of course, when you have to worry about who will change your diaper. We always wonder what he's thinking and it would be cool to actually know for once. Maybe the vacuum cleaner really is his arch enemy?? Maybe eating the carpet really does satisfy some taste that he's craving??

Post 3 - Short term goals for this month and why
Ashley:
1. As the weather starts to warm up (hopefully), take Connor outside for more walks and fresh air. We've been spending too much time indoors because of the cold, windy weather.
2. Sign Connor up for swim lessons. He LOVES bath time and I want to get him in the pool before this summer when we take him to Meme's pool.
3. Try to not be so negative at work. This is going to be tough because it is easy to fall into a rut. Being negative is not going to change the circumstances at work, but maybe being positive will make them more tolerable.
4. Make more crockpot meals on the days that I am home so that Ryan doesn't have to cook as much (I hate to cook).
5. Cut back on my ice cream consumption (see prior post) by (not to) one bowl per week. :)
Ryan:
1. Have a safe and fun trip to Vermont with Connor and Ashley!
2. Finish my first MBA Class - this 20 page final paper is going to be killer.
3. Eat healthier.....when work and school create stress I tend to eat more or eat the wrong things.
4. Help Ashley cut back on her ice cream consumption.

Post 2 - A habit you wish you didn't have
Ashley:
This one is easy for me .... my love affair with ice cream! I am in the bad, bad habit of eating a fairly large bowl of ice cream every night right after Connor goes to bed. And, not the low fat kind..oh no... the full fat Turkey Hill brand. YUM! Lucky for me, I am still nursing Connor and I can afford those extra calories, but as soon as I stop nursing, I am going to have to be more careful. For those of you that are confused and don't know what I am talking about, nursing burns an extra 500 calories per day! Woo hoo! Although I don't have to worry about calories right now, I should probably worry about all of the fat that is in that ice cream!
Ryan:
All too often I take a pessimistic viewpoint on situations before I have the chance to evaluate the big picture. I have a tendency to jump to these pessimistic conclusions and stick with them…no matter what others say or do. Luckily, Ashley keeps me on track and always has an optimistic view to counter mine! She’s the yin to my yang! haha
