It was 2 years ago today.....

that Ashley and I got married!!!! It really doesn't seem like two years to me. Man.....time flies when you are having fun! Literally!!! I married the most caring and kind man. I couldn't ask for anyone better!

Here are a couple of pictures of the night we got engaged (this same day 3 years ago). For some reason I don't have any of this night with just Ashley and I. I have seen one, but don't know where it could be found.

A picture from the honeymoon in Antigua....I really wish we could do that every year!

I have a lack of pictures from my wedding time on my camera and computer. I have great photos from the photographer, I just don't have access to put them on my computer. I have great photos that people have given me that they have taken, I just haven't scanned them. Sorry I don't have any thing better for you! We had an absolutely beautiful wedding that was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better!

All-Star Weekend Recap

The Rock Hill YMCA All-Star's almost did it! We came in second place! I know we all like to win, but you can't win them all. We started out with our first game on Saturday morning at 8:30 am. Not only was that hard on the boys, it was very tough for me! We lost that game, but luckily it was a double elimination tournament and we got to play again at 11:30 am. We won that game and had to play at 2:30 pm. We were really playing well at this time and won that game to go on to the championship game at 5:30 pm. By this time every one is tired...players, coaches, parents, and me! Also, by this time Ashley has pretty much lost his voice. The boys give the championship game a valiant effort. They came back and took the lead with only four minutes left in the game. Only to run out of gas and get second place. They truly played their little hearts out for four games. I know I could not have done it! Everyone was so proud! One of the parents offered to buy all the kids and the coaches pizza before going home. It really was so nice and I don't think the boys worried about losing once they heard about the pizza. Ashley completely lost his voice. I think he finally regained it Tuesday afternoon. I put him on a no talking ban for Sunday and Monday, but I am not sure he really listened. All in all it was a great weekend, just a really long Saturday. I spent 12 hours in a YMCA watching basketball in Anderson, SC.

The Rock Hill YMCA 11-12 year old All-Star Team

One last team huddle

The WONDERFUL Coaches...Kyle (l), Ashley, Drew (r)

I just found out that Ashley does read the blog and I need to make a correction. In the previous blog, I stated that he coached the wrong age group. He has always coached 9-1o year olds and 11-12 year olds. My bad!

Proud Wife/"That" Wife

For the past couple of years, Ashley has coached two YMCA basketball teams. Last year he had the 8-9 year olds and 10-11 year olds. This year he had the 10-11 and 11-12 year olds. This year the older team won the league championships in a game that was a nail biter!! It came down to the last seconds....the last 16 seconds to be exact. The boys won by only one point!!! So, that means the coaches of the league champions get to pick the players and coach the All-Star team. Ashley coaches with three of his friends Drew Jackson, Chris Bailey, Kyle Neely. This weekend we are off to Anderson, SC, to the All-Star tournament.

This is a picture of the Morgan Construction Company League Champions. Chris and Ashley are on the back row on the far left. Drew, who shorter than most of the kids on the team, is on the back row second from the right with the glasses and Kyle is next to him in the back.

I have to say that I am so excited for this weekend! Watching my husband coach these kids makes me SO proud of him. He (all with all the other guys) does a great job and is so wonderful with the kids. Not only does he do a wonderful job, he is extremely dedicated to the kids and the team. There is not a practice or game that he is not present for.

So, while Ashley is doing a great job coaching.........his wife is doing a terrible job at being a coach's wife. Oh, I am the crazy lady in the stands yelling.....normally at the refs. Ashley plays on two different church league basketball teams aside from coaching. Yes, in one league I was asked by the ref to be quite or leave (this happened at our church, the one we got married in). In a different league, I got into it with the wife of a player on the other team. Only to find out later she is very good friends with my sister-in-law. Yes, I do know we are at the YMCA and it is all fun and games, but I can't help it. If you don't know me, I am SUPER competitive. To the point, Ashley and I don't play games together. I can cheer him on, but I could NOT play for him, help him coach or be on his team. Oh and by the way.....he is just as bad as me in competitive department.

Yes, at the championship game for the older kids a couple of weeks ago, I did exchange words with a lady in the stands. Her son played on the other team. However, for the first time.....it WAS NOT my fault. She was just listening to my conversation. I have people who can vouch for that for me.

So....wish us good luck in the All-Star tournament. I have been told by the coaching staff that our team should easily win. Oh, and going to be on my best behavior. PROMISE!
