The Kelseys

Ashley, Nathan, Easton, and in utero baby Kelsey came to visit us this last weekend. It was absolutely great to see them and wonderful to know that best friends are pretty much always best friends. As soon as they came in the door I felt like they must live here because it seemed so natural to have them in our home. Easton shared my feelings and didn't seemed scared to be held by his "aunt and uncle" that he only sees every once in a while and made himself right at home.

We all enjoyed hiding from the snow in our apartment and sharing stories, talking baby talk and just being together. We ate lots of yummy food and hopefully were able to tempt the Kelsey's into coming again rather than staying in DC, despite the awful snow.

They have only been gone for 3 hours and I miss them lots and am planning our trip to visit them. Which led me to looking at pics of me and Ash from Freshman year at BYU...this is how the story began....

Nathan & Ashley's wedding August 2004

Pretty much this girl got me through one of the craziest but most exciting times of my life. Freshman year we both found ourselves. Ashley found the man of her dreams (thanks to me :) ) and they both served as fantastic examples to me as I waited to find the man of my dreams. These two have been there for me when others just couldn't see why and when I have had the happiest moments of my life. Ash is the girl I know I can call crying over the sad and the happy things in life. Friendships like this need to be cherished.
