Just a Junior

School has officially started! And with it came beautifulllll weather! The sun was shining and so was I. Despite waking up for an 8 am class, i was surprisingly in a great mood. Im right where i belong, with the people i belong with. Although, i am missing home and my summer life.

The last three weeks of summer ended up being the best part of the entire season.
Doesnt it always seem once things start to get good, life happens? It really is all about timing. And somehow i have been cursed with bad timing. But maybe thats just fate; obviously everything happens for a reason. This semester im ready to have fun with my amazing friends, enjoy every minute of this beautiful life and take on whatever life throws at me. Hit me with your best shot, ill be ready, ill be bulletproof. Oh being single has never felt so good :)

Ridin solo,
Ashley

So Long

Tonight is my last night in Riverside. And the last night I'll be spending with my sister until she leaves for Ireland this fall. In all of our 19 years together, this summer has been the closest I have ever been with Jordy- and the thought of not seeing her until Christmas makes me cry every time. Jordy, I can't thank you enough for being here for me this summer. Whether I was obnoxiously intoxicated in the pool in Cabo and you were there telling me I'd be ok, or when I was crying over an ex and you listening to me. I'm going to miss you terribly this semester. But I know you're going to have an amazing experience in Ireland and meet so many awesome people. And you'll probably become an expert on the best beer in Ireland and know all the cool pubs to go to. Just be safe, especially when you meet a charming Irish boy. I promise to write/email/skype as much as I can. I want to hear about all of your adventures, the places you visit, the people you meet, EVERYTHING. Also, take care of my scarf ( I want it back at Christmas). Mom and Dad are going to miss you so, so much. I am so lucky to have you as my best friend and my sister. You're going to do wonderful things in Ireland and I am beyond excited for you. I'll make sure to take care of Leo (seriously).

I love you so incredibly much.

Love,

Chelsea
