The adventures of Ash and Simone!


It all started out with a trip to las vegas to see the cougars play some football.. (somebody dropped their marbles) Next there started to be frequent trips to alpine with alot of dancing in a huge truck from two little girls. From then on it was a bond like no other. Its like when you scramble an egg there is no turning back to try to seperate it back into yoke and white, whats done is done.
Then came time for graduation, so of course there needed to be a killer graduation road trip! we were poor as dirt, especially after the run in with the po-po, but it needed to be done, so we lived off wheat thins and easy cheese for the whole trip and found the cheapest hotel possible that would let two high school girls check in.
Summertime came and went and lives took us down seperate paths. Me at uvu and her at hair school. Then came the grand reunion.. the loft! The loft is the place that made us realize that no amount of time or space could keep us from being friends.
We were always there for each other from stupid boys to boys we knew we couldnt live with out. we've seen it all and we were there for it all, to support and to love through the good and the bad.. til death do us part, and probably even after that!
No one knows better then a best friend what your hopes and dreams are, can tell when your sad and pretending to be happy. Always there when they need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to build a fort with. And make waiting in hour long lines fly by in five minutes by playing ridiculous made up games! I was lucky enough to find someone like that and heaven only knows how much i needed that person to get me through the years. The lord gave me someone to cry on the floor with when life just seemed too tough to go on, and someone who would sing at the top of their lungs just as off key as me! God could have sent me anyone but he love me so much that he sent me one of his finest! He sent me you ash! there is always a place in my heart for you, i love you!

A Ray Of Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

Image
The other night I was putting Auri to bed, and I was tired and a little down with all the stuff life throws at ya. And I was just thinking about if I didn't have Auri it would be so much easier to just be lazy and give up. In that moment I really realized how she makes me want to be a better person. I don't want to let her down because her future depends on me. She is such an example of joy and beauty and I can't help but try to be like her. Even in this scary unknown world, she can put that all aside and find joy in the small and simple things, like the pretty pattern on her burp cloth. She amazes me every single day with how much she learns and grows! I am so lucky to be her mama and I hope someday I can return the favor and be a good example to her!

Sleepless Nights

Auri had her 2 month shots this week and she handled it like a champ! She cried for a few minutes and was fine from then on. She was a little fussy for a couple days because she had a fever and I'm sure her little legs were sore! But I think she was also going through a growth spurt at the time because she was waking up early from all her naps hungry and waking up multiple times at night! Last night was by far the worst. I think I slept for a total of 3 hours and that was broken up over maybe 4 or 5 segments! She had a tummy ache from some spicy food I had for dinner.. We both learned our lesson... No more spicy food! But there is good news too! Carson started his internship and will hopefully be done by march and then he will finally graduate!! Also Carson won an award at vivint for having the top first year office in his region! Which is great and he is going to join offices this year with another team and hopefully have another great summer! I'm so proud of all of his har

Stories I Can’t Forget

This summer, in Indiana, I read this picture book of the Book of Mormon to Auri and Brylee. We finished the book and I had a prompting to say a prayer with my girls and ask if what we had read was true. They answered yes, so I told them that we would pray and ask and then after we would be really quiet so we could listen for the spirit. That was all I said. I said the prayer and asked if what we had read was true. Then we sat there. Brylee was only 3 and was able to sit still for only a minute but after a little bit longer, Auri turned to me and said mom I have this really warm feeling right here (she was touching her chest). I never told her how an answer might come, but this was a testimony to me that the spirit is very real and you don’t have to be a certain age to feel it. I was able to explain to her that the Holy Ghost was answering by that warm feeling she was feeling. A cute story about my sweet Brylee is that I asked her if she wanted to watch a show, and she immediately answ
