I once read that every 11 years our bodies are made completely new, slowly transforming as old cells die & new ones take their place... may it also be with my soul: continually sloughing off all that is passing away, and being transformed into the newness of life...

Yo Ash!

Hey girlie! Thanks for your message on my page! I love getting comments from you!

I've missed you lots, but it's my own fault. I totally haven't kept in contact like I should! Anyway, we are definetly sisters at heart, and that's all that matters!

I'm glad that life is working out for you, you've always been my creative Little Bear, and some day God's going to bless your socks off by being able to use it for Him!

By the way, you realize that Nathan's going to have to pass the "Kristy" Test don't you? I'm sure though, that if you love him, that he must be something pretty darn special.

Take care and know that some crazy kid still thinks the world of you!

Love,
Punked Out K :)

hey ashley...i'm only reading this survey one right now...you have been so busy lately! I will try to catch up soon. We just got back from camping last night and then spent today at convocation ceremonies and looking for places to live in Barrhead.

I promise you i will fill out this survey thing to get that leprechaun guy down my page a ways as soon as I have little bit of time...probably not for a few days. and then after that maybe i will try to keep up an actual blog...we will see...but i've finding that i have some things i should write about. but then i don't have the time to write it down...such a dilemma.

also, i never knew you were born in Duncan. good for you!
