This is just the Beginning!

Hi everyone! This blog is going to be geared towards my Beachbody business and just my everyday life in general. Most of you reading this probably already know me from Facebook and know a little bit about me already. But just in case you don't, here's a little bit about me...

I have always been a Florida girl. I was born and raised in a VERY small town called Avon Park. If you put your finger on a map, in the middle of Florida, you will hit it. There are more orange trees and cows than people there, seriously. It's where the newest and greatest thing to come was a Wal*Mart Super Center (I love my Wally World though lol). And when you go there you pretty much know EVERYONE. After school the "thing to do" was go to McDonalds to get your sweet tea, but you really can't beat Mickey D's sweet tea :). I spent many weekends 4-wheeling at mudholes. I attended a numerous amount of bonfire parties. Avon Park was my little slice of heaven and I loved it. I will always be a country girl at heart. The memories there can never be replaced. No matter how much people rag on it for it's lack of activity, I wouldn't have had it any other way. It's a place that I cherish and will always call home.

Avon Park High School (Go Red Devils!) is where I met the man, who is now my husband. The date was October 27, 2004, we were in the gym waiting for the last bell of the day to ring when he asked me to be his girlfriend and, of course, I said yes! From then on everyday of my life included him, we were inseparable. He is my best friend, nobody knows me better. Cary was a year ahead of me and when he graduated he joined the United States Coast Guard in 2007. It was a difficult time being separated for almost 2 years, but we made it! I wouldn't say a long distance relationship is easy, but it is possible, and we are proof. May 30, 2008 Cary surprised me by coming home for my graduation (he was living in GA at the time). That night he had another surprise, he proposed to me at my graduation dinner. One of the best nights of my life! After almost another year of being separated, and alot of planning, the date was set. On January 30, 2010 I officially became Mrs. Ashton Scott. 

Now we live in beautiful Clearwater, Fl with our two dogs Chewy and Champ. It's definately been a change of scenery, but I look at it as opening a new chapter in our life. Even though we miss the country scenery, it's nice to live where the beach is 15 minutes from your doorstep. Cary works as an AMT at the Coast Guard station and I am a waitress and a Beachbody coach. To say that Cary and I have had it easy would be completely off base. We have endured so much in our marriage and friendship and while at times it was hard, it was well worth every effort and has been such a blessing lately. We are truly a team.

I decided to become a Beachbody coach to better my health and everyone else's around me. When I was 4, I had open heart surgery. Alot of my family members have struggled with heart problems and I didn't want to be one of them. I became a coach in October of 2010 and have loved everything about the comapany since. I have met some very positive and motivational people throughout my journey. And I learned, it's not just about you. You are part of a team, when you become involved, people are counting on YOU too! And in return seeing them succeed gives me hope for a better future.
