Monday Morning's with Ashley: Update of what’s happening-Ella’s upcoming birthday and more…
It is amazing to think we are already one month into 2010. The ‘older’ I get the faster it seems time flies! The month of February is special because we celebrate Ella’s birthday. Ella will turn two on Monday, February 15! We plan to celebrate this Friday with family and friends at Chick-fil-a. Anna and Ella decided the best theme for a 2 year old girl was Minnie Mouse. I know it will be a hit with all the kids. Next week’s blog will be a restaurant review but I will make a special effort to post some pics from the party…come back to check those out. Ella also got her first hair cut. We did not get much cut off but it sure made the curls come out.
Ms. Lela did a great job and Ella cut her eyes just right for this picture!
Not so sure about this hair cutting deal...
The month of January did not offer as many local events. With record lows, we remained indoors for much of the month as a family. This year marks the final year for Auburn basketball in BEMC. We were able to make one game in the month of January and hope to make at least one more. Also, the first week in February we were able to travel to Tampa, Florida for my 10 year reunion from Florida College. It was a great time to catch up with old friends and for Ella and Anna to meet many new people. To learn more about Florida College click here.
Since we did not get out as much we had friends over to play games and Ella had fun playing with her friends, Riley and Brooks!

Opelika- Many of you will probably like the new ordinance issued by the city of Opelika. View this link for the ordinance. As a real estate professional, making sure to abide by these rules is difficult because the right of way changes from street to street. It will make the roadways more aesthetically pleasing.
I could not end this blog without mentioning Valentine’s Day. Do not forger to pick up that card and some candies or flowers for that special someone. Guys, a few local places to consider if you are looking for a place to dine in Auburn or Opelika area…Hamilton’s, Jimmy’s, Provino’s and The Yellow Hammer. Hope these reminders and ideas will help you have a special day!

To end today I want to give congrats to the 2010 World Champs the New Orleans Saints. I was pulling for the Colts but it was a good game and the Saints played well and had a great season.
