Ashley Bounds is an amazing wife and mother who is dedicated to her family.
Her husband, Morgan, said Ashley is extremely caring and selfless, and she loves her children, Annalise and Bryson, with all her heart.
“She is such a wonderful mom who would do anything for her kids,” Morgan said.
Ashley is incredibly smart and detail-oriented, traits which help her succeed at her job as a financial fraud analyst for a major bank.
When she isn’t working, she loves spending time with her family and playing with her dogs, Hannah, Gunner and Luna, because she is a huge dog lover.
Morgan and Ashley met online and had a very interesting first date.
They went to a steak house called The Strip Club, and when they got there, he was embarrassed because he had no idea there were risqué photos all around the restaurant. Morgan still laughs about that date, happy that Ashley was able to take it in stride.
One of his favorite memories is when he and Ashley took their first cruise together for their 10-year anniversary. “I had never been happier to be with her,” he said.
There is another memory he will never forget – he and Ashley’s first trip to Disneyland.
“We had such a wonderful time,” Morgan said. “It was the happiest I had been in a long time. I always smile when I remember that trip.”
Morgan is in awe of Ashley’s organizational skills. He said she is extremely forward-thinking and helpful when it comes to matters around the house and family.
“Her organization is something that would be hard for me to live without,” he said. “I would never be able to keep the house in order and provide everything the kids need without her. She truly is the rock of our family.”
Ashley also taught Morgan how to find great deals while shopping, which saves the family money, something he is very thankful for.
No matter what is going on with her life, family is always most important to her. She loves bringing the family together and playing games at family functions.
Morgan said Ashley is the most caring person he knows, because she is always looking to help others. She organized a clothing drive for families who were affected by the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA, in 2018. She collected donations from across California and made three separate three-plus hour trips to northern California to deliver clothing and toys to families in need.
“Annalise, Bryson and I are blessed to have Ashley in our lives,” he said. “We are so thankful for everything she does for our family. I can’t express enough how much I love her.”
