Here's to Forever Friends

So, I spent some time with my best and favorite friend Ashley on Saturday. Everytime we get together, I leave thinking about the good times we have had together and just being thankful for the type of friendship that can last for 12 years and you know will last for many more years. We don't have to talk everyday (sometimes not even every week or month), but I know if I need her she is there and the next time we talk it will be like we never skipped a beat. I love thinking back to times we have shared. Like at the end of my Sophomore year when the buzz through the hall was about the "new girl" coming from Overton for our Junior year. Or the time when we almost died during a tornado because we didn't know what a culvert was. Or the many times we talked our moms into letting us spend the night on a "school night" all in the name of studying and then somehow we forgot about the study part. Or before our senior prom when I got the worst hair-do ever and I called Ashley to come to my house right then to look at it. I don't know what she was going to do, but I needed her and she came. Or the day I got a letter from Western Kentucky (where we were determined to go to college) saying I didn't get in. I thought the world as I knew it was over, but in true Ashley fashion she said "Rachel don't worry about it - we will so something else".
So, here is to forever friendship and being so thankful for you Ashley. I love you!!!
