Getting started

HEY EVERYONE!!! I have had a few people tell me that I should start a blog..... so to all of you,, your wish is my command. I have never had a blog before this so it ought to be a really fun exciting experience and you will have to bear with me while i get it all figured out! I always have lots of fun exciting stories to tell and am excited to get to share them with you!!!

A little about myself... my name is of course Ashley Kay Carvin!!! WOO WOO! i am a 24yr old single mother of a beautiful 4yr old named KADENCE! ( more on her in just a few!!) I live in Fairfield Iowa, an interesting (to say the least), diverse (definately that!), cultural little town of 11,000ish.. for those of you who know of Fairfield, I am not a roo!!!! I have lived here for a bout 6 years now! gosh it doesnt seem that long! wow!! I live with my daughter kdk and our roomate Amy!!! Amy is a sweet heart and is exceptionally easy to live with(thats me and her in the pic)!!!! I work in Washington at Salon Rage as a stylist. I have been there since october and I love going there because it is a really fun place to be! you should check it out sometime!!! My parents live in brighton which is smack inbetween fairfield and washington so I get to see them quite regularly!! which is a good thing because im a sucker for my family!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! I have two brothers, one older- Ray (but i dont claim him most of the time, im sure ill get into that later on down the road), and one younger- Dustin ( he is the most amazing lil fella i have ever met!!! hes a bundle of fun!!!!! more details to come!). I have a close knit group of friends who I talk to everyday!!! they are all different and each one has a uniquness that none of the others have but each are special to me in their own sweet little way and I love them all equally!!! There are so many things i like to do its hard to narrow down. I am usually willing to try anything atleast once. I am terrified of snakes, and I dont care for spiders but those I can at least handle. So I guess you could say that I have ISSUES with things that have too many legs and things that dont have enough!

Now on to Kdk!!!! Kadence Diana Kay ( notice the initials!!! ha ha.. get it!) is four years old! she was born november 12, 2004! Singlehandedly the longest, most painful day of my life!!!!!( but it was worth it!)!!!!! she is hum....... how do you describe the little miss??? well i guess you could say she is energetic? nah, spunky? that doesnt seem to fit either.. A FLAMING BALL OF SPAZTIC ENERGY???? seems to fit quite nicely! She is most definately full of energy! wow she keeps me busy!! she is fun though! sometimes she doesnt listen to me (ok alot of the time) and she loves to push her limitations but, she is a fun little squirt and I love her more than life itself. she has blonde hair and blue eyes. she is really tall for her age ( she gets that from Andrew, her dad) and she is sharp as a whistle. she has had one constant BFF since she has been young! Kaisen! she loves him!!! It just cracks me up! sometimes they go a while with out seeing each other and they still talk about each other. those two are a hoot!!!! She will tell you that she has two houses one white one with a white door (that would be her dads) and one blue one with a white door( that would be mine) she gets confused sometimes about her dad and I but then totally gets some of the other points. She is a mommas girl and a daddys girl and likes to play both sides( or at least tries). Her father and I get along most of the time and can joke around and have a civil relationship, then on other days we cant stand eachother and dont get along at all. Her dad is very important to her and I love that she loves spending time with him. She is blessed with outstanding Grandparents! so naturally she is spoiled spoiled spoiled... My parents are Gwandma kim and gampa ray, and Andrews parents are Gwandma betty and poppa david.. they just adore her and she has the strange ability to sucker them in to anything! it is almost an art form!!! but her poppa david! wow she has him wrapped around her little finger! goodness! I most definately cant wait for summer so we can go to the park and go swimming, and do more of the fun things she likes to do that we cant do in the winter.
