***Snickers is my Favorite Candy Bar***

Ok followers (a.k.a. ASHLEY lol) This is the famous Cody, which I like to call McRuffin Muffin haha... long story - details available upon
request :)

Oh be sure to notice my new hair - the picture above is the new do and the picture below is old news... what do ya think about it?! It is supposed to be darker - but I cant really tell if it is or not...?!

This was at the Corey Smith concert that we went to a couple weekends ago! We went with two of my best friends (Allison and Tara) and their boyfriends. We all had so much fun and everyone got along great... Cody is so easy going and so easy to get along with! At the end of the show Corey Smith threw his guitar pick and Cody got it for me... haha - so sweet - plus I like to have little things that remind me of our dates!

I am so glad to be around someone so laid back and carefree, he really is a great guy! He is a very harder worker, just finished a beautiful new house, and is probably the most country boy I could have found lol - yes I know shocker! At first I was a bit hesitant but, he is just so darn cute!

This shows how country Cody is... he is always wearing camo lol... I thought it would drive me crazy but I think it is so cute! I think COdy is different from anyone I have ever dated or liked - every single thing about Cody is new to me, it is so refreshing and enjoyable... and let me remind you - dating a country boy has its perks... he is such a gentleman, he is a very hard worker (he works in construction kinda like my dad), he is very well rounded, he knows how to cook, and he leaves on the weekends to go hunting so I can have some girl time lol :)

This is Cody and Evan... Evan is his chocolate lab that is about 3 months old. Evan is so sweet and I cant wait till him Annie get to meet. It is so wonderful because Cody's new house is on 5 acres so Annie and Evan will have a lot of room to run around... it is so beautiful out there! If you ever come to Arkansas, you can bring Conner out there and play on his tracters and fish and hunt... Yall would love it - and you would love his family... They are so wonderful and his mother is the sweetest thing ever!!! She just called me and said "am I containing my excitement very well?!" lol... she is so excited that we are offically in a relationship lol - she is a nut :) but I tell Cody that I like his mom and his dog better than him... Well I guess they all run a close race :)

It is so weird because my best friend Sarah is married to a Cody and us 4 went out to eat and they thought it was cool having the same name because everytime I would try to talk to my Cody, Sarahs Cody would answer and vise versa - drove me nuts lol... but in a good way!

This one of the things that I enjoy so much about Cody...
He is such a big kid just like I am, he loves to joke around and have a goodtime - our personalites fit together so well! For insistance we took Jaden shopping for a Halloween costume and we had a blast lol... They got along so good... Jaden just thinks Cody is so cool...

I guess I just need your approval now :) I think have everyone elses! SO let me know what you think...

Why you (Ashley) should be on the next flight to Arkansas!!!

Me and Annie are waiting for you... We cant wait to show you around town! We have a bed that is calling your name!

Your Favorite!!! Hopefully this picture has you little fingers typing in Travelocity.com as we speak! haha... I love white cheese dip and this is the best or the best of white cheese dip!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Fayetteville that I am going to take you to, this is where the white cheese dip in the picture above is from - yum yum - I love it! Mouth is watering just thinking about it... I hope yours is too :)

Rick's Bakery... another Fayetteville stop! It would almost be considered a sin not to stop here if you are going through Fayetteville! This place has the best of everything... you should see the desserts in here, they are the most amazing looking and tasting creations you have ever come in contact with - I promise this will quickly become one of your new favorite places!

The name speaks for itself - WHATT A BURGER - they have the most amazing burgers, fries and shakes you will EVER eat... this is no lie - it becomes an addiction! Do not get this confused with the chain, this is a family business located in Russellville, Arkansas... This will be a stop going to and come home from Fayetteville... I cant wait... Hurry yourself up and get out here already... I'm starving and I'm drooling... haha!!!

BARBEQUE - even if you do not like barbeque you HAVE to try Penguin Ed's if is a great place to get Fayetteville's best Barbeque (they also have great grilled cheese, baked potatoes, and of course... fried pickles). This picture is of me eating one of Parkers Ribs - yum yum!

Now last but not least... In this picture you can tell I am very adventurous (haha) anyways, I am full of surprises and fun adventures... I put this picture on here to say we will do activities other than stuffing our faces with the great foods of Arkansas! We have amazing shopping (I know - so hard to believe, but trust me... I have the shopping queen!). Also, we have so many fun things to do... I am going to show you a whole new side of Arkansas... you better come ready to eat and ready to be adventurous!!! lol - I cant wait!!!

Hold Tight or Let Go?

Have you ever been presented with a situation but you are not sure if you should hold on to it or if you should just let it go... I have had several of these situations come up in my life over the past couple of weeks and I need yalls help!

The first situation was with my sister... and I will go ahead and say I have already made my decision on this one. My decision is to hold tight to my sister, after all - she is my SISTER!! :) But I will still let you in on the situation - Well last weekend she said she would watch my dog, so I took Annie to my parents house (my sister lives there too). Well I left there house arouunf 5 to go to an out of town dinner and I didnt expect to be back until late. I talked to my sister before I left and she said she would be returning shortly. When I got to Russelleville I called my sister to let her know I had left Annie in my bedroom (the one at the parentals house). Well my sister said that she still had got home yet, so even though I was slighty irritated at this point I let it go. Well on my way back to Little around 10pm I called my sister... no answer... I knew this was not good! So when I arrived at my parents house at 11pm i found my dog still in my room - right where I left her... although my room was not how I left it... it now had a chewed up Betsy Johnson bathing suit, clothes, sun glasses, bra, everything in my shower, and the door! I thought I was going to die... But I didnt and I didnt kill my dog or sister either - we are all still alive and choosing to put this incident in the past...

Now situation #2... The Boy - the boy's name is Parker, he has been the love of my life for almost 2 and a half years. We recently ended our relationship due to certain circumstances and the fact that I was moving back to Little Rock (he lives in Fayettevile - 3 hours away) was not helping our relationship. So we decided to split... Well ever since I have moved home we have missed each like crazy and have been calling and texting like every chance we get! I also saw him last weekend (my out of town dinner in Russelleville), but I want to see him again... like asap! So I realized that i was going to have a free weekend this weekend and I thought whoohoo - I will go visit him! Well I told him the good news and he was excited, but he said he has to work all weekend... and I know he works a lot but I see it as like even if I only see him for an hour it would be worth it. Well I feel like he is leaning towaards me not coming since we wont have much time to spend with each other. So what should I do?! Because the crazy woman inside me says "well if he doesnt think a little time is better than no time - then I am never going up there.. lol." Then the other part of me (the sane part) says "maybe he really is busy and he wont have much time to spend with and he doesnt what me to drive that far just to see him for an hour." But still I think that if someone (parker) missed me enough he would want me to come regardless... I dont know?! So should I say forget it im not going or should I go because I miss him like crazy?

Situation #3 will have to wait because my little fingers hurt lol :) but followers (Ahley and Kelly) please respond via text, phone call, or blog comment...

My baby...

This is Lucy LuAnn and Annie Marie! I miss Lucy soo much and so does Annie! These puppies are the most precious dogs ever... it is so funny how human-like animals can be! These dogs think they are humans and think they should be treated people! They both sleep with pillows and Lucy even tries to sleep under the covers.. it is hilarious!

This is my Annie! She is my companion I spoke of a couple posts back! She is the sweetest dog ever and she has really kept me company the past couple of weeks - I would go nuts without my puppy love!

Well I thought I would share my loves with yall! But Annie and I are about to go to sleep, we have had such a long, busy day! We went to bed at 2 and got up at 6:30... We are going to sleep good tonight!

Complaints....

I have had complaints about my photography on this site... to all of my followers, if you must know - I have lost my camera charger which means i can not take pictures with my normal camera and upload them so I have been trying to keep y'all updated with pictures by using my camera phone and apparently some of you do not like the quality of my pictures! So I have come up with a solution, the complainer (Ashley P.) can buy me a new camera charger so my pictures can be up to par! I will put all of my camera info up in a bit so will know which one to buy... thank you for your support and constructive criticism. :)

Check Yes or No

So I am trying to find a wedding cake for my wedding... even though I am currently single and I probably will not get married for a long while - it is important to start planning :) What do yall think about this master piece?! Perfection... or is it a bit much?!

Note to my biggest follower (Ashley P.) - call me asap for further details...

The cries of my heart...

Today I have been so torn in this thing we call life. It is up and down and so inconsistant right now. Besides the fact that my house is driving me crazy... my relationships with friends and family are changing. I knew that moving back to Little Rock would be a HUGE change but I dont think I was prepared for it. I am trying not to be needy towards my friends and family here or towards my friends in Fayetteville. When I lived in Fayetteville I had constant companionship from my (former) boyfriend Parker and our two dogs, Lucy LuAnn and Annie Marie. Even though Annie now lives with me I still feel a bit empty. I have never lived in Little Rock and not lived with my parents... it is so weird! So now that I live all by myself in Little Rock I am constantly wanting friends to call me or come hang out with me... it is so pathetic and I feel so needy! It is just a hard adjustment not having Parker in my life, well atleast not as much as I would like him to be. Parker and I still talk a lot, but it gets confusing and I constantly want more because I miss him so much! Also, I think I am driving my parents crazy because I want them to hang out with me and go to dinner with me all the time! And my best friend Sarah is married and I know I am driving her husband crazy because I am trying to steal her away!!! Thank goodness that my other bestie Erica is single but her flaw is that she works too much so our hang out time is limited as well! So I am a lonely girl trying to cope with this change the best I can. I thought getting a job would help and it has... somewhat... besides the fact that im only working part time! I need to work more hours so I can fill up my day with productive hours instead of lonely hours!
So to all my followers, if you have my number feel free to call or text WHENEVER you want! If you do not have my number then talk to me through my blog! I would love to hear from you all... help brighten my lonely days and encourage me to embrace this change of life!
