Singles Day at Kelly's Korner:Stephanie-29-Brentwood TN


Hi I’m Kelly, one of Steph’s best friends. I’m taking over the good ol’ blog today! I know you probably came for your weekly Ansleigh picture fix but we’re going to focus on Ansleigh’s Mom this week! I promise it’s back to regular scheduled programming and cute kid overload next week. Today is another instalment of Singles Day over at Kelly’s Korner. I want to tell you more about Stephanie, what an amazing person she is, what an amazing mom she is and how she is going to make some man very happy one day!


Stephanie and Ansleigh


Best Friends




 
 

I’ve known Steph over 10 years and can honestly say she is the most caring person I know. She is the first to call on a bad day, the first person to offer up prayers and encouragement when you feel like you’re at the bottom of the barrel, and can make you laugh when that’s the only thing that will make it better. We have seen each other through breakups, babies and now marriages. She’s a southern girl with a little flare. She enjoys shopping and girls days like we all do but can hang at any football or basketball game with the guys. Her blood runs orange and she is a passionate UT football fan. She rarely misses a football, basketball or baseball game of her brothers.

On a more logistical note, Stephanie lives in Middle Tennessee and is a banker. She is working her way up with a great company and has found a career that she loves! She has a 5 year old, Ansleigh, who if you’re lucky enough to meet, will enrich your lives just like she has ours. Ansleigh comes first and always will, which in my eyes shows what amazing person Steph is. She has recently found a love for running and is training for her first half marathon this Spring. 

If I had to pick one word to describe her it would be PASSIONATE! She PASSIONATELY loves her daughter, her family and her friends. She puts her all into her job and really into everything she does. She is PASSIONATE about her beliefs and how she will raise Ansleigh to love the Lord. I will never say that Steph NEEDS a man to complete her life because that’s not true! But she DESERVES a man that will put her first and treat her like a queen.

Thank ya’ll for letting me share!

Comment if you know someone that Stephanie should get to know!

Our first visit from the Tooth Fairy

Last night Ansleigh lost her first tooth. It was so dramatic I never thought that tooth was coming out it was literally hanging and she was freaking out and would not let me touch it after 4 meltdowns screaming her shaking she finally let me touch it and out it came. Silly girl her tears turned to pure joy she was so excited and couldnt wait to tell everyone. We called MiMi, Bebe,PopPop, txted grandma and all our friends and she called her dad. Then it was off to sleep for the tooth fairy to come. I found these letters off pinterest to give her and then the tooth fairy brought her a gold dollar she was so excited this morning and put it right in her piggy bank! Oh the joys of having a 5 year old little girl so much drama already!

2013 What a Year this has been!

2013 started off great I got my job at Franklin Synergy and started on Jan 7th it was a great way to start off the new year. I love my job and I am so thankful how everything worked out. Ansleigh started at her new school in March and she just loves it and is thriving so well. We went to the beach and had a wonderful time in May. Ansleigh had her first dance recital and did awesome in may! I started running the same month and it has been the best thing for me. Its a great stress reliever and I can eat what I want and still stay fit! I ran my first race on July 4th downtown and just loved it! Ansleigh started gymnastics and she just loved it! I turned 29 in August starting my last year of my 20s and I feel great! We went to Chicago/Peoria Il and Ansleigh was in my aunts fashion show and got her first american girl doll! Ansleigh turned 5 in October and we started the process of kindergarten registration and testing crazy she will be starting real school next year. My car was totalled on Nov 1st and we are now proud owners of a new Nissan Rogue. We had a wonderful holiday season with our family and friends and are once again so blessed and spoiled beyong what we deserve. I have made several new friendships and strenghten some others. This has been a wonderful year it has had its ups and downs but overall we are so blessed to have the best friends and family I could ever imagine and I look forward to 2014 and what is yet to come. I will be with the bank a year on the 7th, my best friend is getting married in June, Ansleigh will start kindergarten in August, and who knows what else the year has in store. Bring on 2014!!
