Curtis works full-time as an electrical engineer, but Ashby has not worked outside the home since Jason was born. As Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that Jason would benefit from attending nursey school several times a week, which would give her an opportunity to reinvigorate her love of painting at a nearby art studio.
