My Lifelong Sister.

Our bond started at birth.  Many families have good family friends, but Ashley and her family are my second home.  Our mothers were the best of friends and Ashley and I were very close growing up.  

We weren't 100% in each other's lives throughout high school/college but never forgot about each other and always tried to stay in touch.  We got back in touch after we both graduated college.  Recently Ashley made the move back to New Mexico.  I am so happy she came back and it was quite the coincidence that we both made our way back to NM at the same time after both being away from home for 10 years.  

I always have a blast with her.  I like to think of Ashley as a chameleon.  She gets along with just about anyone; she opens up to everyone; makes people feel very comfortable; keeps people smiling, and very adaptable.  She knows when to have a great time but also knows when to be a serious friend.  We are a lot alike that sometimes it freaks me out, haha.  We have so many memories with a ton of laughs and tears from when we were young children all the way up to where we are now.  We can stay up all night long and just talk the night away (oh trust me we have many many times before... even recently).  I love the advice she gives.  It's the truth and never sugar coated.  She understands that that's the type of person I am. I want to hear the truth straight up.  We both have been through similar situations in life (ash, you know the ones I am referring too, wink). 

Ash has been a huge part of me and Michael's relationship.  She moved back to NM right as Michael and I started connecting and turning a friendship into a relationship.  Not only has she supported me but she has also become a dear friend to Michael and that means the world to me.  
I call her "my sis" for a reason; we will forever be in each others lives.
