Let me introduce you guys to my friend, Ashley! She is one of the coolest kids in town. She plays tennis, fences, swims, makes her own birthday cards, and will remember your birthday forever and ever even if you only tell her once. And more importantly, she has the biggest heart that you will ever find in a person.

Just recently, she graduated from high school. She was the first one to cross the stage! And I really could not be more proud! We got together with our moms the other day to celebrate her achievements and catch up! Here are a few pictures from our lunch:

Ashley was one of my very first friends I met when I moved back to the US after living in Australia for a few years. We were eight years old when we met, and we have stayed friends ever since! I am one lucky girl to call her my friend. I love you, Ashley!
