Nathan and Ashleigh- ENGAGED!

The lovely and in love couple-

Fun Facts about Ashleigh-

• she's my big sister by 14 months
• i once carved her initials into her little wooden jewelry box cause i was mad at her..... i didn't do my initials cause then she would know it was me... she still knew though. i was 5...
• we would play bride and she would always get to be the bride. ALWAYS. i was either the groom or the preacher guy. She was super bossy to say the least.
• we had a "club house" (just a little patch of nothingness by our house) and it had a wild strawberry bush in it that grew 2 strawberries the entire time we lived there. She ate both of them. I didn't get any. haha
• to get into our club house we had a serious of branches on the dead tress we had to touch/pull/twist and a piece of flappy bark we would remove and "punch in" our code. She always changed the password so it took me forever to get in.
• we once had a "circus" performance on our swing set and charged a 5 cent admission fee. we made 5 cents. and the people didn't even show up. They just took pity on us.
• we had a lemonade stand and didn't sell a thing. it was a bad day.
• we started a newspaper for our street... and had a questionnaire in it. and we went to pick them up and one guy put on his interests "watching the grass grow." haha. i don't know why i remembered this...
• when i was a baby i would always steal her bopoos (our name for pacifiers) and she would cry and tell mom on me.
• when we were toddlers she would organize her shoes and i would go mess them up just to make her angry.
• she painted my nails and i painted her nails once when we were toddlers and to say the least we looked like we got in a knife fight when we were done.
• when i was around 3 i dropped a towel in the toilet and she tattled on me when i had everything under control
• when she lost her first tooth i cried cause i wanted the tooth fairy to come visit me. but then she dropped her money down the toilet. hehe
• I hated her first 2 boyfriends. And these were the only two times that we ever fought for more than a few minutes.
• i was the first one she told she had a crush on Nathan. I was the first one she told she was going to marry him. i was the first one that she told she was engaged to him too.

Ash and I are best friends. I love her to death. Even though nathan takes most of her time up

now i know we'll be sisters forever. Congrats to both of you!

To Nathan- I'm SO excited to get the big brother that i've never had but always wanted. Sorry i was a jerk to you in the beginning. you make my sister the happiest i've ever seen her and know that you will continue to do so for the rest of eternity. :D
