WHY do I blog?

I love my best friend Lindsey. We went to High School together and grew even closer during college. I even moved to Memphis whenever she moved there to experience being on my own. We had a blast together & have memories I will never forget!

So why do I blog? I blog so that I have a journal of my life for my daughter, and also for all the family members that I have that live miles away from us. I blog for those who have never met her so they can see what we are always up to. I hate scrap-booking and this is my way of capturing EVERY memory! After all, they grow way too fast. Another fun reason to blog is exactly the reason I did this post. For my friend Lindsey. I love that she is able to keep up with our everyday life over 300 miles away from me. It's so hard living in separate states but knowing I can get on here and read what she did the day before or even see her fun creativity puts a big smile on my face!

I love you Linz!!! See you Thursday!

Always cuttin' up on the dance floor!

She was so beautiful getting ready for her wedding!

Linz & her husband enjoying the night together:

Her and my hubbs dancing at her wedding... which was amazing by the way!

She was in town for my wedding shower:

Friends even when the "choker" necklaces were in style:

One weekend she came to Arkansas and I arranged massages!

This was taken in Memphis at a place called, "Blue Fin"- we love this place!

This picture was taken in a parking lot before she left town one time... we always take pics upon her arrival, and when she leaves:

  8. Super cute post Ashley! I'd be the same way if my bestie Lindsey ever moved away! I blog just for fun, as an outlet for me. I totally agree about it being a scrapbook of sorts as well. I love to scrapbook but I don't have the time, EVER, so the blog is my personal scrapbook as well. Thanks for sharing this sweet story!

    Much Love!

  9. Ashley, all your pictures are always adorable...you and your little family are just precious! I think that you always look super cute in all the pictures that you post! I am not sure why "Kellye" above felt the need to critique your pic openly on your blog, but she's obviously not a very kind person. I just wanted you to know that I think you are such a sweet girl and also wanted to thank you for sharing your "journey through life" with us!
