*Bachelorette*

Jake......MY FAVORITE!! whew, a hottie for sure!

Michael....the fun guy! Awesome personality!!!!
Jillian and Ed

ok, so i will admit.... i had a slight addiciton this summer! i was hooked on watching the bachelorette!!!! i just could not get enough. each week i would find myself so excited for the next monday in which it would be time for another episode. sad isn't it? NO WAY! :) it was a fun season to watch. however, sometimes i became more involved than what was probably necessary! haha. overall it was so much fun!!!! i was ok with jillian decision in the end. i would have been happier with kyptin...but i think he is too good for her. haha, better for me! :) haha ANYWAYS! Jake and Michael were my favorite!!! hopefully jake, or michael or kyptin will be the next bachelore!!!! i will be a devoted fan! haha. i loved the season, it was awesome!

summatime!

i love summer time! and i love being with my family during summer!!!! they mean so much to me! and i have so much fun with everyone during this time!!! i take a lot for granted. i had a friend pass away recently from injuries sustained in a car wreck. it has made me take a step back and evaluate my life. i have so much to be grateful for! i go day to day just going through the motions, when in fact i should be living each day to the fullest! i am so thankful for the people in my life who better me and who help guide me along the way!!! i love you all!!!! :)

**Dancing with the Prince**

So lets be honest, Ashlynn is probably my most favorite person on this earth! We had the oportunity to have Ashlynn for a few weeks this summer, all by herself! Despite it being hard for her mom and dad, we (and ashlynn i might add) ABSOLUTELY loved it! we had a blast! Ashlynn would always come in and put make up on with me! sometimes i came out with some eyeliner on my cheek, but Ashlynn would get done putting it on me, and stare into my eyes and say "oh, Gorgeous!" :) hahah! so how could i then...take it off? :)

Ashlynn is a little princess! And i mean that literally, she dresses up like the princesses off of the disney shows all the time. One day in paticular was one that i will always remember! I asked Ashlynn if the princess (being her) wanted to go to the ball (getting ice cream at the local pizza place). Without a moments hesitations she exclaimed, " (GASP) Come on BEANA lets go put on make up!!!" I did her hair and her "makeup" we put on her dress. She had a cute purse and some gloves to match and i let her borrow some of the jewelry that i wore for prom. She looked and needless to say, felt like a princess. However, that wasn't enough for little Ashlynn. She told me that she needed to go find prince charming and dance with him!! So out the door we went to find prince charming! And just as soon as we walked out the door, there he stood! PRINCE CHARMING.... (mowing the lawn!) haha ;) She walked up to my dad (PRINCE CHARMING) and shyly asked him if he wanted to dance with her. Of course the answer was yes! It was one of the cutest moments i have ever seen and will remember forever!

I took Ashlynn to the "Ball" and she danced and ate pink ice cream. Which she ordered herself. haha

"UM, the princess wants pink ice cream please!"

It was superman ice cream and she loved it! It was so much fun, and people made such a fuss over her, which made it even more special!

I had so much fun with her that day! and i miss her so so much!!!!
