Lovefest Volume I

Mic Testing 1, 2, 3...
Ok hmm..today is going to be totally random, miscellaneous, sporadic (<---love that word) stuff. I accidentally typed STIFF instead of STUFF and totally laughed outloud. REAL MATURE ASHLEY... So *e* and Mrs. Contes was it you two that made me go and rent the first disc (Episodes 000-003) of LOST? The way you went on and on and on about the characters, and the fact that it was the GOD of TV shows. I appreciate you getting not just ME, but Seanny-Boy hooked too. I never watch TV, so its nice to be "hooked" on something I truly enjoy. Good stuff.

Oh wow...i can't believe I didn't type this FIRST...Guess who joined 2005 (just barely) and got a DIGITAL-FREAKIN-CAMERA? Yep..me. My husband and I are the absolute WORST secret keepers from each other. We are just going to BURST with excitement so we end up telling. Sean ending up giving me my camera after a WILD GOOSE CHASE...YES I SAID WILD GOOSE CHASE trying to follow the delivery guy. I had no idea...I wasn't supposed to get ANYTHING for Christmas...I just wanted an airplane ticket to Viva Las Vegas. So this was a total shock. I am so happy. and blessed. and lucky. and EXCITED. So that means pictures in my blog!! WOO-HOO. SAH-WEET. So I'm all set...Just in the last 6months I've gotten: a cell phone, an IPOD, and a digital camera...now we just need to trade in the horses for a Honda...and we will be good to go!!

I just want to give a few little shout-outs to some girls that mean SO much to me...their accomplishments, their talents recognized...that makes me SO happy. This is just Part I...the friends I have been blessed with will continue to get recoginized and noticed..so this will be an ongoing feature I assure you.

Lovefest Part I

Amber- Flipping through Scrapbook Answers and forgetting that you were in there, and Jude yelling "OH MY GOD MY YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH HER!!! ITS AMBER!!! MOM, MOM, MOM ITS AMBER!!!

You are bursting with talent. I also know that no matter just how "famous" you get...you will always be the nicest, sweetest, and kindest chick.
