Allow me to reintroduce myselfβ¦
We now have well over 2,100 locals subscribed to the newsletterβ Welcome! So I thought a light re-introduction was needed. Hey, friends, Iβm Ashlyn. I am the local behind this newsletter. Any video, social media post, article, or newsletter you see comes from me. Iβm the writer, designer, project managerβ everything. (And yes, Iβm exhausted π )
Iβm also married, and we have a wonderful son and two dogs that test my patience daily. Here are some fun facts (Because that seems like the norm for things like this).
My husband and I both work from home and stay at homeβ while homeschooling π (prayers yaβllβ¦)
I used to be a civil engineer. π§ That bridge in New WaverlyβI helped build that!
I was an NFL cheerleader for the Texans ππ½ (one season onlyβ and no, I wasnβt expecting to make it.)
My favorite thing about Cypress is the small-town feel π‘, with big-city perks π. Everything you need is within this area, and I love it! I grew up in Huntsville. Enough said.
