You know those friends who've just been around forever, through thick & thin? The kind that you can pick right back up with no matter how long it's been. Welp, that's Ashlee. We were besties through junior high and survived several awful breakups with Cole & Travis. We swore to everyone we knew we were twins despite our very apparent different appearances. We both wore matching lime green plaid pants & black fuzzy sweaters during our 7th grade yearbook pictures. Mid 8th grade we created (with 2 other friends) a singing group called "The Ditzy Twits" a Canyon, Texas version of the Dixie Chicks. We had songs entitled "2 Cheese Enchiladas" (to the tune of 2 Pina Coladas), "The Boob Song" & "The Holiday Inn Song." We cheered together all throughout high school & were 2/3 "original cheerleaders" come senior year. We drove around in my car smoking cigars & singing Last Dance with Mary Jane at the top of our lungs. We could, and still can, quote every line to Clueless, 16 Candles, Ferris Beuler's Day Off & many other stupid movies. Did I mention that we are Wayne & Garth? If we were presidents we'd be Babraham Lincoln. When we went to college we discovered that after a couple drinks we are the 2 funniest people you'll ever meet. We can often be found sharing heartfelt memories over beer & cheese fries at Hummer's. Yum.
Back in 2007 when Chris & I were married Ashlee was such a great friend & bridesmaid. I know I can be difficult at times & definitely had a few Bridezilla moments, but Ash stuck it out with me. I remember after the wedding was over, we were home from the honeymoon & everything had died down thinking to myself how lucky I was to have her as a part of my wedding.
So get ready, Mr. Brett Nichols. Come June 25 your world will be forever changed by a wonderfully kindhearted woman.
&&& I love my husband because he had a fabulous proposal for me. I re watched the video of it yesterday at work & cried like a baby in my cube.
