Ode to Ashley…..

I thought I would dedicate this entry to my gal pal Ashley!!! She’s that type of friend that always has your back and is always dreaming up beautiful ways to make you feel special! a sweet girl to say the least and I am so happy to have found her almost 5 years ago (is it??) !

our kiddies having a little lunch together. They have grown up together and often I find myself thinking back to when I was a kiddo… my mother had a friend which lived across the street… both our families grew up together and made lots of memories together…
