Merry Christmas

Jimmy and I had a great Christmas! We spent it with my family in Tucson first,and then with Jimmy's family on Christmas afternoon. We have awesome families and are so blessed to have them. We are really enjoying our new house and are FINALLY done unpacking! I never want to move again. Here are some pictures of our house, our dogs, and Christmas! So much has happened this year and we can't wait to see what new adventures come our way in the new year! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we wish everyone happiness in the new year!

Love,

Jim and Ashley Leech

It's been a while....

Sorry, it has been along time since I have posted anything. I just barely got some wedding pictures back so I will have to post them soon! Jimmy and I have been really busy with work and our new house! That's right, our new house! I love it! I have been having so much fun decorating, although I do still have boxes to unpack! Oh well! We also got a new puppy! She is a yellow lab and her name is Kahlua. She is about 3 months old now and has got to be the cutest thing ever! I will have to get some pictures of her too! Life is great and I will hopefully try to keep this thing more updated!!!

On October 3rd, I became Mrs. Leech and it was the best day of my life! The wedding was perfect, the weather was beautiful and it was a fun party! Jimmy's family is amazing and I love them so much and my family was all able to be there as well. I want to thank my mom for giving me the best wedding! I could not have imagined anything better. I don't have all of the pictures yet, but here are a few of me, my mom, and bridesmaids getting ready for the big day! More pictures to come!

Oh and we also bought our first house together! We closed on it the day before our wedding and we are slowly but surely getting everything unpacked! I will post pictures of it soon as well!

Today was my bridal shower and it was awesome! My mom and good friend Tiana put it on for me and they did a great job. Alot of good friends showed up and plenty of family! We had yummy pizza and breadsticks and Tiana made a beautiful and delicious cake too! I got lots of awesome gifts (some naughty, thanks to Jonalynn, Rachel, and Tiana). I had a really good time, it turned out better than I expected! It just goes to show how lucky I am to have such great family and friends! Thanks to everyone who came to support me, it was a blast! And a special thanks to my mom and Tiana for doing such a great job, they are the best! I am looking forward to my shower in Tucson that my cousin Sam is throwing me! Pictures to come! Here are some great pictures from the day!

This weekend was full of cute babies! My cousin Kevin and his wife Sam had their beautiful baby girl, Haylee Elizabeth, on June 30th and I just barely got to go down to Tucson and meet her! I love her already, she is just too cute for words! She is actually the flower girl for the wedding and she will be three months old by then. She won't be able to do much, but she will sit there and look pretty for sure! And then yesterday, one of my best friends Brittany had her baby girl, Brylee Nicole! I went to the hospital to see her today and she is also beautiful! She looks alot like her big brother Jeremiah did when he was born! From what Britt says, he is a very proud big brother! I am so happy for them. Two very blessed families. Here are some pictures of the girls from this weekend!

Two months to go!

So I have not posted in a REALLY long time but I have been super busy! I started a new job at a doctor's office and I am enjoying it. I am also trying to finish up all the odds and ends for the wedding. It is less than two months away now...crazy! I am getting really excited though. We are sending out the invitations tomoroww, they turned out beautiful. I picked up my dress last weekend and I loved it even more the second time I tried it on. I can't wait to wear it. My bridal shower is at the end of the month and I am really looking forward to seeing all of my friends and family. I also got my "sample" centerpiece the other day and I absolutely love it! Courtney does such a good job with flowers! My wedding is going to be a fun and eventful day and I can't wait to be Mrs. Leech!

Ashley Sutton, RN

That's right everyone...I am officially an RN. After two years of intense school and studying my butt off, it has finally paid off. I took my NCLEX exam yesterday in Tucson. It took me about an hour and a half and when I was done I felt pretty confident. I woke up this morning at 6 a.m. and it this is what I saw!!!! This is by far the best accomplishment in my life so far. Thank you to everyone who has supported me the past couple of years! I could not have done it without you!

Shayla's Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party

The beautiful cake! So yummy!
The "panty poem". This was such a cute idea!

Shayla's bridal shower was alot of fun! Mariah did a great job putting it together. Everyone had a great time. Shay's wedding is three weeks away now and I could not be happier for her! I hope her and KC have a long and happy life togther! The baby shower is next right Shayla??? Haha. After the shower we went bowling, rode the go-carts, played some arcade games, went to the Lodge for some drinks, and then went up the The Pasta House for dinner! Thanks girls for a great day... I had a blast!

This past weekend, my mom and I headed down to Tucson to do some much needed shopping and I had a doctors appointment. We were able to go out to lunch with some of my family. We went to PF Changs. Oh man is that place delicious! Love it! It was really nice to be able to see my family and relax! My NCLEX exam (my state nursing exam) is scheduled for June 11th and I am starting to get nervous! I know I will pass but it is still scary to think about. Wish me luck, the next couple of weeks I will be studying my butt off!

Graduation was absolutely amazing and I would not have done anything different. I have worked so hard to get to where I am today and it is such a huge accomplishment. It has been the hardest two years of my life but so worth every minute! Now I can only move forward in my career and hopefully be a great nurse!
