Romance

Today was just an ordinary day, sitting at home, reading romance books and day dreaming. Do you know that moment which every girl thinks about the moment where there are quite a few guys all wanting to go out with you all at once. Wow never thought that would become reality!


I have three guys interested in me now and this feels so strange and I really don't want to lead any of them on, I really don't want to hurt any of them but I know I will have to make a choice.


Me Ashleigh Leanne Devine a christian, day dreamer who has a over worked imagination actually has three guys after her, wow this feels so surreal:



I have went from being this girl, that gets bullied, guys don't like and are not interested in:








To being Ashleigh Leanne Devine who has lost over 3 stone is weight, is more beautiful than I have ever been and now is being noticed and having guys ask her out:
I need to make a choice and base it on who I like and who I can see being happy with, I'm not an ordinary girl I want a serious relationship, someone I can be with long term, someone who will be my prince charming.
Some how this situation still feels unreal, even though it is, its quite a flabbergasting situation and well girls you may think you want lots of guys chasing after you, well news flash you don't. I don't want to break someones heart because I've had my heart broken many times. You could write a love story out of my relationships.:
Like the time I went out with Richard and he was going to propose on Christmas day 2009 , well that was the plan never did happen anyway.
Anyway the story starts when Richard was going out with my friend Katherine which they broke up around the middle of September and in October it was my 18Th birthday, I had all ready invited Richard to come. I would not back down, I still wanted him to come, there were few arguments at the party between him and Katherine but Richard was a gentleman and apologised. At the end of the evening he gave me a birthday kiss, he also asked me out and I said I didn't know because pf the situation with Katherine (the girls rule book). A couple of days later Katherine so me in the shop and was quite nasty to me for no reason, I then said yes to Richard not out of spite but because why should I feel guilty about going out with him when Katherine broke up with him?
Me and Richard went out with each other for a while at first he respected that I was a christian and that I didn't want to have sex until marriage. He told me he loved me and that he wanted to propose at Christmas, he even asked for my parents permission. In October my Uncle was involved in an accident and was in hospital fighting for his life, which Richard knew. Richard started getting more pushy about wanting sex but I wouldn't give in. The same night my Uncle died Richard cheated on me and I found out that night that he cheated because two of my close friends had seen him with another girl. The day after I told Richard I knew about it and he totally denied it, he had to come over later that afternoon to mine as he was one of my mum's Avon Representatives, and she had to do some work with him. I spotted something on his neck I guess you can all guess what it was: oh yes it was a big fat love bite and It was not from me!!! So annoyed at him I pulled him into my room and demanded the truth, not to get the the truth but a bunch of lies. till a few months later I finally got the truth through an email on facebook, but no apology!
So my love life is like a massive drama and well I don't want to hurt any of these guys like I have been hurt in the past!



Wednesday 12 May 2010

A couple of weeks ago me and my mates went up to Watergate Park and took some amazing pictures:

This is a picture of just one of the lakes at Watergate park:


I sent some of these pictures to my friend Christina of the photos I had taken. Christina and a photographer asked me if I could be there model for the site, I was so excited and took the position. Even though I'm not getting paid, but at least I can get free pictures so I can make my own modeling portfolio online. Plus Christina wants me to take more shots around Newcastle and London when I go in July, maybe some shots in Devon too.




here are some more pictures that where taken when we went to Watergate park:


I thought that capturing the essence of the trees in black and white would look great and would stand out more.



I really thought that this picture was so beautiful and I hope all of you think so too:
I will post more later as they need to be uploaded but you get the picture lol.
Watergate Park is a beautiful park, and hopefully that's where I should be doing some of my photo shoots.

About me and my life

My name is Ashleigh, I am an eighteen year old student from Newcastle UK and I have so many questions , opinions and and imagination that will drive you wild so I decided to make my own blog.

At the moment I am currently off Training and college as I am unwell, have lost my voice for now seven weeks, annoying I know, and I'm actually a chatter box, you can never normally shut me up hehe lol. Anyway most of my time being off is being spent doing course work and resting , I know boring. Then again I do have quite an exciting life when I'm not ill.

First of all I'm from Newcastle as you all know, but what you don't know as I am a Devine and my ancestors are where french who owned the vineyards in France, we were treated like royalty. Also I was brought up in a single parent back ground till the age fifteen (more about my new step father later) My mum and my dad got divorced when I was three after the way he hurt my mother was despicable. My mum tried to give me the best in life, she took me to Florida four times as a single parent (she got into debt over it but she says it was worth it)
I met her pen pal Tina Cross and her husband and sons and became good friends with them. Me and my mum are really close, I have been through having no dad, being bullied really badly at school, getting beaten up my ex boyfriends and having my hair set a light, having a teacher say that I was too thick to succeed in anything in life, later for him to turn round and apologise when I visited a year after leaving school when I came in for a visit. So I've been through a lot but whats got me through all of this is my mum and someone really important to me GOD the most important thing in my life is my faith. Christianity isn't religion its faith, faith in GOD something you can't see but you know he is real, know he created you, it's just pure faith. I became a christian when I was seven years old at my first word Of life camp and now I am working in my church as a youth leader and creche leader in training, hoping and praying one day GOD will use me for Word Of Life Ministries.
When I was fifteen my mum got remarried to Stephen Tite another christian, Stephen Tite is a singer which I am too, he taught me vocal exercises etc and I still sing and write my own lyrics today (and no they are not all christian lyrics)

So that's my life so far apart from doing my child care course, hanging out with my friends and doing course work that's me!
