Ashley A.K.A. “Jexy” the Princess: I’m definitely more of the typical diva-princess type. I’m super-duper particular about A LOT of very different things, but eh don’t judge because I’m still really laid back and know how to have a good time! Don’t ask me to stay in a hostel or sleep somewhere sketch, because I might just refuse. I need my king-size pillow-top mattresses in a nice 5-star hotel with a nice big buffet breakfast (although I will go as low as 3-stars, but not by choice!). I like my stuff clean on a daily basis, (I won’t wear anything that hasn’t been washed) and I need my laundry to be folded a certain way. I’m also the one that will give you shit if you don’t place the groceries in the bags in a proper and orderly manner (that’s a not-so-bad habit that I picked up from my mom). But really, if you’re sick I will be the one that will stay up all night, getting you anything you desire and rubbing your back if that’s what you want. I’m scared of bugs and anything creepy-crawly, especially spiders…EW! I’m a some-what picky eater, I will try anything once BUT don’t put something on my plate that I don’t like because I just won’t eat it. My favourite dish is definitely spaghetti and meat balls with a sprinkle of fresh basil and parmesan cheese. I speak fluently in French and I know enough of the Spanish basics. I’m currently finishing up a program at college to get a diploma to become a counsellor specifically to work with assaulted women and children. I love where I’m at in my life and can’t wait for our adventures!
Chris A.K.A. “Chrisy” the Adventurer: Chris was very well-known at his previous jobs from his Mumbles, because well he tends to mumble when he talks. Although Chris and I may agree on many things, he and I are very much opposite to one another. Where I like my clothes folded and cleaned, 2 months living at his new house and the guy is still living out of a suitcase! The really funny thing about that is that he won’t put his clothes away in the dresser that is literally right beside his suitcase…talk about lazy eh? He is a professional chef and makes the best Spaghetti! A bonus for me :) He also knows how to make a mean and yummy soup. He ran his own soup business from home for a little bit, it was called Emter’s Soup Shop, how cool eh? He hates when someone asks him “What’s your signature dish”, because he truly loves to cook what he wants. He loves the simple home cooked foods and is always finding a new dish to perfect. So far, Chris may seem super laid back and doesn’t care much about anything but let me warn you, mess with his fridge and you’re in big trouble! The one thing he can’t stand is a messy and disorganized fridge. He has already traveled to Europe for a few months last year, but returned for his Jexy’s 20th birthday because he missed her so much…super cute right? We secretly think he was homesick though, but shhh don’t tell him that! He visited England, Amsterdam, and Bulgaria and he can’t wait to go back again! I can say that I have never heard one person talk so much about his trip; well actually he just won’t shut up about Bulgaria! From jumping out of a helicopter to jumping off cliffs Chris loves it all. He loves any kind of adventure, but he is still too scared to bungee jump. Which I am perfectly ok with; I do not want him to do it!
