Hi, This is me... sitting in Firebelly's in downtown Wilmington, NC. I'm 22. My friend Ben took this picture while I was on the phone with my significant better half, Nathan. I have a habit of starting a new blog at any given blog spot on the world wide web, then failing to keep up with it... then either picking up where I left off or beginning again elsewhere. This is one of those times. Forgive any typos and/or misspellings as I chose to place the blame on my new, clumsy, awkward acrylic nails I had done at school today. Oh, by the way, I'm in cosmetology school so we do stuff like that daily. Oh, also... by the way, I don't live in Wilmington anymore. Now I live in "Raleigh-esque", NC. Before that I lived in Greensboro for a bit, while I was NOT attending classes at UNCG. I'm actually from near Winston-Salem, NC. Just a bit of a background review on the geography of Ashley.




I, uh, work at a Salon in Raleigh where I'm a receptionist. I hope to do hair there eventually.
I have a dog who's awesome and loves me more than he should. He's a shih-poo, named Sykes. Here he is, riiiight here...
I'm not exactly sure where to go with this.... I have a boyfriend whom I've been with now for JUST over a year. He's amazing. He's smart. He's going to school at NCSU to be an accountant. I've never felt such respect from any man in my life. It's just such a good feeling to finally have someone with stability. Not to metion his family is great! So many good things wrapped up in one guy!
I have 3 best always&forever friends.

Morgan, since 1991

Ashley, since 2004

and Dede, since last year


Now, while all 3 of my best friends are perfect and irreplaceable... I've never gotten as close with anyone as quickly and as surely as Dede and I are. It's amazing. She's my rock here recently. Morgan and I have the kind of relationship where we don't have to talk everyday and we'll still remain solid... unbreakable. Ashley and I have more fun together than any two people I know. We feed off of each other's happiness and he laugh makes my heart warm. I sound creepy kinda... yea, but I'd die for any of the 3 of them. Morgan lives back at home, Ashley lives in Greensboro, and Dede lives in Wilmington. None of the have ever even met each other. Weird. I feel like I've snagged the best parts of every place I've lived and have kept them close to me, all for myself. The same goes for Nate, being from Raleigh. I just got stuck right about there... I'll write some more my second go round.
