Thinking about some of the decisions couples have to make when they are married is how many kids they want to have. When I watched a documentary about the declining fertility and birth rates and people were interviewed about this subject a lot of people said that they think that one or two children is the perfect amount.

Week One

As you may be able to tell, I have never blogged before. I thought that this would be an easy thing, but when you're not very creative, like me, it's a little tough. Besides that, I should probably introduce myself before I go off on some sort of tangent... My name is Ashley Clawson. I like brownies,  Dr. Pepper and a proud supporter of singing your favorite song at the top of your lungs and dancing as a cure for most things in life.  I'm studying Marriage and Family at Brigham Young University-Idaho. My goal is to be a marriage and family therapist. I have two younger siblings who are type one diabetic, a dad who is bald, and a mom who is deaf. My family is cause for some interesting stories. (From left) Lulu, our favorite family friend, my sister Emma, my dad, my mom, me and my brother Luke.  This photo is a bit outdated, but it's the best one we all have together. Just imagine my younger brother a lot taller. We all love each other, but we also fight...
