happy girl in happy valley

You will never guess who's BIRTHDAY it is..

My Dear

Ashley

Kay

Sant.

This little lady is 23 years old. and I love all 23 years of her!

i think the first memory i have of ashhhhhy is the John Mayer concert. (okay it might have been at Suz' bday dinner but we're not counting that right now) Thank goodness we kicked out Pat in our carpool for JM or I wouldn't have the greatful memory of Ashley being navigator in the front seat for that 4 hr drive. I had no idea who she really was and then she proceeded to tell us that she was going to rip John Mayer's pants off once we got there. From that moment on-I was convinced I was going to like her.

Bonding to the sound of JM's voice and of course the unforgettable dance party in the parking lot. From then on she accepted me as one of the group and I am so thankful for that.

She shares my love for pictures which makes us have an even deeper connection (yes that is how important picture taking is to me.) She makes every person around her feel more than loved which I think is very important. She's one of the many examples in my life.

Although, it wasn't until our Vegas trip where I really got to know and love dearest ashley. We had the backseat and it was most likely one of the best backseat trips I have ever taken. We were high on candy or Avril Lavigne...whatever it was, we were lovin life. Ashley is one of the most hilarious people. Especially when she's tired. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at Ash then on that trip (debateable though because I'm always laughing at---I mean--with her)



Which brings me to my next thing I love about Ashley Kay. We also share a dying hard love for Avril Lavigne. Which puts her up preeeety high in my book. We almost sound like her don't we?

We both hate chocolate covered cinnamon bears :)

She makes the best fill-in boyfriend anybody could ask for.

Seriously. Most of the time when you're hanging out with the marrieds you feel discouraged or like what the heck, gipped. Nope, not when you're with my Ashley! You have more than a grand old time and forget about it. She is always great to talk to and I always love telling her and asking her opinion on things because you know it's a genuine one!

She's my cousin/sometimes twin. We have convinced many people that we are cousins, sisters, or somehow related because we do look somewhat alike (which is great because hello she's gorgeous).

Next item of business:

She's obsessed with slurpees (we're the only true members of the slurpee crew at this moment) and she is also addicted to in n out. Partner in crime through and through.

{bahah sorry brit. it's not on fb and nobody reads my blog anyway}

She's always up for doing something fun and I love that because at the same time she is soo dedicated to her job and school. I don't know how she does it.

Wins the bubble gum bubble contest every single time--although Amelia does come in close behind her..

bottom line:

I just simply adore my Ashley Kay Sant and am so greatful that this beautiful babe was born 23 years ago and is now in my life. She is home, home in Georgia but I know she is having a blast and a half. Missing her though. I guess I'll just turn on up the Avril and have a dance party in honor of the birthday girl. . .

Ashley babe, I love you 509,873,756,235...037 slurpees and 768,857,205,936,...847 in n out cheeseburgers. Make it the best day!
