About Us {Blog Hoppin' Linky Party}

We are super excited to link up with the wonderful bloggers at Blog Hoppin' for this {WEEK-LONG} linky party! Today, we are sharing a little bit about us! :) 



We (Ashley and Amanda) work together at the same school in Texas. We met 2 years ago and became really close, very fast. We decided to open up a TPT store {FOR HIS GLORY} together which eventually led us to start blogging! We are truly blessed by all of the doors that have been open through TPT & blogging! 
Now, a little more about us!

I have been a Speech-Language Pathologist for the past 3 years in the elementary and home health setting. I graduated from the University of North Texas (GO EAGLES!) with a Master's degree in Speech Pathology. I absolutely love what I do and truly feel blessed that God has called me to serve others in this amazing field. I have 31 children...on my caseload that is :) and they are all very unique and special. This year I have been selected to be a ClassDojo mentor and I am very excited! 

This week, my husband and I will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. I am a coach's wife in every way and embrace it as much as I can! :) In our house, there are four seasons: 
WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER & FOOTBALL! :)

I absolutely love crafting, running and shopping...but who doesn't?! God has blessed me with the most amazing family and friends and time with them is a gift! My husband and I have started taking piano lessons and we are loving it...Beethoven, watch out! :)
This will be my {third} year teaching and I absolutely LOVE it! I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, and when I went to The University of North Texas for my degree I never looked back! My first year, I taught 2nd grade. Last year I got moved to 3rd. I was nervous because I loved 2nd so much. I wound up LOVING 3rd even more!! It is the best age. They are so sweet, but so fun and get your humor! I am very excited to be teaching 3rd again with an amazing team!!

I am a new {wifey}! The Mr. and I got married in December. It was the BEST day of my life. Everything about our day was perfect, seriously! I want to re-live it over and over! My husband is a band director at a high school in our area. He loves his job! I get to go to concerts, football games, and events galore! It is hard not seeing him as much as I want to sometimes, but I love supporting him in his passion! 
We also built and bought a house last year (yes last year was CRAY!) We love our home and are enjoying decorating it and making it our own. 

Some of my other favorite things: my family, coffee, crafting, creating, and JESUS of course!!
 My cousins in law..but basically my sisters! :)

 We are super excited to learn more about y'all so make sure to link up with Blog Hoppin'!!
