“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

Ashley, Asher or Ash

Here she is, Ashley Anderson.
Number two of this 7 Part series.




















I'd like to officially state,
that if it were not for Jan Hawkes Spirit Team class,
I would not have met this classy woman.

We sat across from each other, 
and shared our messy chalk.

We swoon over handsome "toe heads",
and drool over sexy "knee caps".

We share the same taste in music,
and talk about it often.

We become giddy from the simple mention of:
"pride & prejudice"
"Mr. Darcy" &
"Mr. Bingley" 
(not as handsome as Mr. Darcy, of course)

I laugh at her awkward, but cute, innocence.
And she squirms at my horrible manners.

We joke.
We laugh.
We cry.
We play.

We look forward to the day
that she meets my brother.
And they date,
and hopefully (as we've planned),
they'll fall in love.

And we will be SISTERS IN LAW!!


Basically I'd rather be best friends with Ashley,
than have Mr. Darcy as my loving husband.


"Whaaat??" "Really???"
Don't believe me? 
Get to know Ash.
I dare you to question me again.
