Visit with Ashley and Joe

Joe and Ashley have been having a rough go of life lately, but are thankfully holding strong and getting through all the challenges. Ashley hasn't seen her son in 3 weeks because the father is refusing to return him. There is a lot of fear for her son's safety, and we are so very glad that Joe and Ashley have each other to get through this.

Anyway, Joe had to work all day, so I spent the day with Ashley having a much needed 'Girls day out'.  We had a wonderful time and got to know each other and a more personal level. We ate lunch out, took food to Joe at work, watched the movie Sonic II, then chatted for a few hours before heading back to meet with Joe for dinner.  I definitely want more days like this with my kids, we had a blast, and we made some pretty awesome memories.
