Fun to be One

 Tyler loves hats!  Whenever she finds a hat she just has to wear it!  Funny enough she looks GREAT in hats which I think is great! 

 Emma is also "Fun to be One"

 Two of the most beautiful girls in the world.  They are the sweetest little friends! 

 Checking out each others outfits.....and thinking about giving each other a hug

This was our last playdate before the Magee's started their next big adventure.  The moved all the way to Akron, Ohio!  It was very bitter sweet because on the one hand I was thrilled for my friend to be able to move closer to family which is something she has wanted for a long time.  On the other hand (selfishly) I was so heartbroken that she was moving away!  As any woman knows it is incredibly hard to find a friend that truly loves you for who you are and not who you pretend to be for others! 

Sam is that friend for me!  It was completly random that we met through other friends at church, and a crazy circumstance that made us close but she and I seem to dance to the beat of the same drum (however off-beat that may be)

Sam is the most generous, loving, crazy, sweet, funny (hilarious really), creative, smart person I have ever met!  She is a serious nerd when it comes to school, she loves to read, and she has a truly giving heart.  We tend to compliment each other in just the right way.  We are both overly sensitive which means we are always over analyzing everything....but in our own neurotic ways we get each other.

It was quite a shock for me to learn that Sam was moving.....it was really hard for me to see her go and there is not a day that I don't miss her (and snuggling E & B)!  It is hard not having that person just down the road that you can always depend on!  I know that we are only a phone call away (which means crazy cell phone bills) and I don't think we have missed many weekly conversations but still I wish that I could just jump in the car and visit my friend.  I know that our friendship is one that will last a lifetime.  We will be the crazy ladies that move in together and have way to many animals to be considered sane!

As in true Ashley style I have tried to always be positive on the phone with Sam as I know she is homesick for NC too sometimes!  But in truth......I miss you and I wish you had not moved!  I can't wait to come visit you in Ohio!  I am so grateful for our friendship and that God put us on each other's path!  If I had had a sister I would have wanted it to be you!
