Hey There!

Hey friends we’re glad you’re here.

A little about us. We are Jason and Ashley Manning. We met in 2005, fell in love, and got married in 2007. We have two kiddos, Kamden and Luke, two dogs Knox and Finley, oh and a Kitty we just call Kitty.

We are a Jesus-loving family that loves going on trips, playing UNO, cooking, and anything outdoors. It’s been a wild ride, but so much fun.

Jason and I are opposites. It’s true! We have done ALL the personality tests and they ALL have proven it…But we learned, albeit the hard way, that opposites work well together. We complement each other. Jason is wild and spontaneous while I am careful and calculated. If it wasn’t for him I would never do anything fun, and I don’t even know what would happen to him if he didn’t have me.

Forged on Main happened because of the pandemic. We were tossing around the idea of possibly starting a creative business of some sort to help supplement our income. But, Jason knows me, and I am terrified of new things. So my wild and spontaneous husband bought a laser and asked for forgiveness later. That is not good marriage advice for other couples.

Do not buy a laser without discussing it with your wife first, or she might get a little angry with you! I almost killed him. But, I like him, so I decided to let him live and give it a go. Now I can say that I’m grateful that he went ahead and did it. We have even upgraded to a bigger one. (TOGETHER) And now we have opened my dream shop! It’s been an adventure but we are loving every minute of it and invite you to be a part of it.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
