this one made me feel real old..

My step sister-Erica's half sister, (complicated family... don't worry about it) Miranda graduated from 8th grade this past week. This little girl is just that to me... a little baby. Erica and I use to babysit her. I was her designated bottle maker every time we were together. We wanted to dress her everyday and change her outfits... our own personal doll. I went to Mexico with them when she was about 4 or 5. She made up a song about me... it went a little like this "Ashley is a stinky girl because she won't go swimming with me."

I was 15 at the time and I wanted to lay out in the sun and she really wanted me to play in the pool with her. She sang that song until i finally got in the pool with her. ahh... the memories. =)

She is going to be an awesome highschooler now! Can't wait to see how she matures and goes through her teenage years. =)

Congratulations to the class of 2011!

I'm proud of you, Brit!

I'm excited to see where the future takes you.

If I could offer some words of advice... (you know since I'm so wise and graduated from high school 7 years ago {eeek.. i'm getting old!})..

-be open minded to new ideas and opinions

-when an awesome opportunity presents itself...take it by the horns.

-travel. It's the best way to learn about life, people, culture.

-don't be afraid to fail (i'm still working on the this one.)

-be smart. be aware of your surroundings, especially being in a new city.

Brit, call your mom and dad. they will miss you.

also call anthony. he wants to be apart of your adult life.

you must call christina. sister relationships are the most important. she will need you, especially since you won't be around when she starts high school.

And I hope you know where you can find me. and I promise if you ever need someone to talk to, you can count on me.... (without judgement)
