The First Post of Christmas!

Okay so I realize it's not Christmas anymore. I just didn't know where to start and thought I'd give a shout out to The Polar Express (the first gift of Christmas! ...right?). How exciting! The first post!! It IS like the first gift of Christmas.However, it's a lot of pressure. What will the first post of the first blog be?? We don't even have a theme- mostly this is going to be a blog of random crap.
Actually, I don't know why I keep saying "we." The title here is "ashleyjessenellie.blogspot.com" but, seriously, the vast majori
ty of the time it will just be me. Ashley,


doing the writing, because when Jess is on the computer usually he is doing work. Who DOES that? 
(PS- that's me last summer at our anniversary dinner, when my hair was way shorter)

This is my husband Jesse:



 (that's two summers ago on our honeymoon in Anguilla. Yes, there are more recent pictures of both of us but our photos are super disorganized on the computer so I just picked the first ones I found)

And this is our dog Nellie:



She's the best! 

Some people have dog blogs, which is awesome. However, Nellie isn't the kind of dog who is always doing bad, hilarious things worth mentioning. Mostly she sleeps, hangs out with us, runs around in circles in the yard, moves toys from one hiding place to another, watches TV, goes on hikes (well, we hike and she sprints)...



She doesn't chew up couches or vomit banana peels on the rug. So this blog is not just about her.

Some people have food blogs, which I love. I do a good amount of cooking but I don't take pictures of my food because, well, I get hungry and I EAT IT. And who wants to read a food blog with no pictures? Not me.
But here's a pic of something I made once:

(cupcakes for Easter, can you tell?)

Other people have baby blogs, but we have no baby, at least not yet, not if you don't count Nellie. Or they write about renovating their home. We have a lovely home which you will see someday (but I'm tired of uploading pics right now). Or they write about movies or celebrities or tell funny stories. Since I like doing ALL of those things, I just couldn't make up my mind, which is why it took me so long to jump on the blogwagon. 

But... now I did it! Welcome to the BEST BLOG EVER!
Yahoo!

Thanks for reading
(this was mostly  a test post. Did all my pictures show up? I'm a computer genius.)
