Ashley called last night

When I got home from school last night, Brian was on the phone with Ashley. He motioned to me to let me know she called him and that she was crying. He gave the phone to me and I asked what was going on. She said she was very sorry for hurting us and for what she put us through. She is thinking about coming home because she misses everyone. We are still hurt by how she chose to handle things, but I am glad she called. Thats a step in the right direction. She said she wants to be home for my graduation. I really hope she grew up a little from all this. She has a lot of thinking to do and some choices to make about her future. I just hope that one of those choices are to keep the lines of communication open.

Monday

Nice weekend. We went up to the mountains to get the camper ready for summer. Long day today. Seemed like I was the only loan processing assistant in today. There was so much work!! Now I'm in school and looking forward to being home.

They found Ashley!!

They found Ashley! She is in Iowa. Thats where the boyfriends mom lives. She is ok and safe. We spoke with her and she does not want to come home. This is tearing her dad apart. I know in time we will come to except it, but its hard enough when your kids leave home on good terms. She left because she couldnt stand the rules. She made poor judgment and a really bad decision and her whole family is torn up over this. We can only hope that she stays safe and she learns a valuable lesson on how important family is and she comes to realize how much her family loves her. I hope that no other parent has to feel the hurt and sense of loss that we are feeling right now. Hopefully one day she will understand, and hopefully one day she will come back.

Monday

Went up the mountains over the weekend to move the campers to their summer spot down by the water. We told Brian's dad that Ashley left for Tenn. It was upsetting. No news yet. THank you for all the prayers.

In class tonight

Saturday

School today. Then we have to go up to the mountains to see Brian's dad for his birthday. We have to tell him Ashley is gone. She was the only grandchild he saw since the rest are down south with his daughter.

Still no word. Detectives are now handling everything. I hate not knowing anything

Friday

Its been 4 days since Ashley left. No one has heard anything. Not even her friends. We are all very worried. Brian and I filed a missing persons report yesterday. Now if they are stopped, they will run her id and know she is missing and detain her till Brian is notified. This is country wide.

Keep her in your prayers

wednesday

No time for blogging yesterday, I forced myself to get on today. Not a good week, a lot of upset in my house and I dont know when it will settle down. Woke up yesterday to find my step daughter gone. She is 18, but the feeling of not knowing where your child is is the same. We do know the area she is in. Its Tenn. But we havent heard from her since Monday night. Her father and I are beside ourselves and feel helpless.

Praying for her safety.

Come home Ashley, we love and miss you

Monday Monday.............

Didn't go to work today. I was up till 5am working on my website and still put another 4 hours into it today before class. I think it came out well. We'll see. Nice day today, I had all the windows open. Cant wait for a day of no school work so I can start spring cleaning

What happen to the warm weather?

Wow, the begining of the week was great! I promised I would not complain once the warm wather got here, but I think Mother Nature is teasing us. ITS COLD OUT THIS MORNING! Its 8am and I'm sitting in the kitchen with a blanket around me having coffee. I have class today till 3:30 then I have torush home and clean and figure out what food I'm making cause I'm havig company tonight. AND I have a 5page website due on Monday......................................Ugh, com'on May15th!

friday

Today was a long day! Its probably because I was up until 2:30 doing homewwork for one of my classes, then I got up at 6 to start my work day and I had school till 8:30p. I love what I'm learning, but I cant wait for school to end so I can get some rest!

Monday

Mondays are so hard to get through, especially when its so beautiful outside! The only time I got to spend out in the sunshine was walking from work to my car and my car into class. Guess I'll take what I can. In class right now for web page. Working on my site thats due next week. We had to do a shoe site. I found some really freaky crazy shoes!! These shoes could never be worn on a daily basis, you'd break a leg!! I've named my site WTF.....Wacky, Tacky Footwear..........Thanks to Brian for the name, thats what he said when he saw the shoes. LOL

Happy Easter!!

Its Easter Sunday. 2 of my kids had to be in work by 5 so we ate an early dinner so the family could be together. It was a beautiful day outside, I sat on the back porch with a glass of wine and did homework. so glad the warm weather is coming!!

Its the weekend

What a beautiful day! Of course I spent it doing homework, but I had all the windows open. Brian had his Torino out today. Its a '73 Gran, its a really nice ride. I used to have a '71 Mustang mach1, which I miss a lot on these wonderful warm days. But I sold it a few years ago to pay the bills. maybe some day I'll get another, but I think I'll look for the '56 Buick special my dad used to have or the ford pickup I always wanted.

Thursday

Forgot to blog yesterday. My sister got back from her honeymoon and after work she came over and we went through wedding and honeymoon pictures. She had a great time and all the pictures came out nice. She didnt leave till late and I went to bed. Today was a slow day in work but of course the rest of the day went fast once I got home. Not much going on. Since the wedding is over, I can now concentrate on my school work.
