A Change of Pace...

Yes, the rumors are true! I quit my job! I'm leaving my job as the surgery scheduler/receptionist at Riverwoods Surgery Center (www.rwsurgery.com). I've been with the Center for 4 years, which have been so wonderful! I couldn't have asked for better co-workers, job opportunities, and the various things I've learned. However, I've been offered a fabulous opportunity to be the Office/Warehouse/Marketing Manager at Crate Paper (www.cratepaper.com) and I'm very excited for this career move. Along with changing jobs, I've also been able to start a better focus on my other love in life - photography!

I'd like to announce that I'm going to be focusing more on my photography 'career'. I've already been booked for the first two weeks of October and I couldn't be any happier! I've been very blessed and looked after, and for that I am very grateful. (my blog address is: ashleywarnerphotography.blogspot.com)

If anyone is interested in being a model for me for some 'practice' shoots, please leave me a comment with your information, or simply email me and let me know!

Here's to a happy FALL and a exciting change! I hope everyone is doing great! Until next time...

Happy 25th Anniversary

My parents celebrated 25 years of marriage in August! Allen and I threw them a surprise party, which was a lot of fun! here are some photos from the big day!

musical bliss

Yet again, I have found a new band that I am IN LOVE WITH! Meg and Dia. Allen and I were having a music party on the way home from the cabin yesterday and he showed me this song by them: "Bored of Your Love". I LOVE this song (and no its got nothing to do with my feelings for me hunny - I still love him!) But I just love this song! Check it out!

If anyone needs a travel buddy, or wants to getaway as desperately as I do, lets plan a road trip!!!

Blast from the Past

Yuppie: noun (often initial capital letter)
a young, ambitious, and well-educated city-dweller who has a professional career and an affluent lifestyle.

Elder Clowney tagged my dad on facebook in these photos, and I had to laugh. These are from the "yuppie" phase of life. These were taken at our home in Stamford, Connecticut. Look how young and cute we all are! awww!

Look at this cute idea for Father's Day! Since I am stuck at home sick today, I thought I would look for something creative to do in my sickness... Since Father's Day is upon us, this looks like a cute, and easy thing to make dad! I had a hard time finding this example on pebbles.com - so I found this other blog that gives you SHIRT FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS: (http://marielovestostamp.blogspot.com/2007/06/shirt-folding-tutorial.html)

Good luck, and Happy Father's Day!

efy - june 2009

Juliet and I

Love these girls - we became really good friends!


Brit and I


Although I had such a blast with my youth during my first week of EFY - I had the opportunity to grow close to these two fabulous ladies! Such great girls and examples! (they're single fellas...)

Juliet was my roommate for the week! She is such a fun girl with a great sense of humor, I loved staying up late (later than we should have...) talking about boys, life, and facebook stalking! She got so sick during the week, but you would've hardly known - she was such a trooper and always looking out for everyone.

Britney is such a doll! She is going on a mission to Rochester, New York - more specifically the Hill Cumorah Visitor Center! I am so excited for her! She is such a fun, outgoing girl who made everyone in our group feel welcome! BLESSINGS!

Our signature "move" throughout the week was our "Single Ladies" dance we would do all around campus. For those of you not familiar with this dance move, we stole our idea from the Beyonce music video for "Single Ladies". We had fun singing and dancing all over BYU campus! No wonder so many BYU students dislike having EFY during the summer - the annoying counselors who go around singing, "All the single ladies, all the single ladies --- whoah oh oh uh uh oh!"

I was so nervous about my first week, but I was so blessed to be given such great co-counselors and friends. I am one blessed girl - I am always looked out for! :)
