Happy Birthday, Ashley!

Today Ashley hits a milestone! She is 21 years old! It seems like yesterday when I was panicking that I would be in the hospital on Christmas, so Mama encouraged my to take castor oil!!! Yes, I took it, and it was AWFUL! But, a day later Ashley was born. I never had an ultrasound, but I knew I would have a girl even though her dad had 5 brothers! I remember when she was born Todd wanted to carry her out and tell everybody "It's a girl!" I was so excited I couldn't rest when I needed to, because I just wanted to be there with her. She would sing "Jesus Loves Me" in her stroller when we went to the mall, and everybody thought she was a doll. We would sing to the Backstreet Boys, and we knew Cinderella, Little Mermaid, and all those Disney movies by heart! I still have fun with Ashley and I hope we can continue the fun times for a long time. Ashley, we love you! Happy Birthday!
