new shoes

I have recently purchased something I have been in desperate need of…running shoes. I’ve had my Sony's for almost three years, ya I know way too long to have a pair of running shoes, but I'm cheap and I wasn’t really running that much even though I used them for a two track seasons and a season of cross country in high school. Haha. I bought a pair of Asics they are absolutely fabulous. It feels as if I’m running on a cloud. My very first pair running shoes was a pair of Asics. I loved them, I would have bought the same pair but sadly they were nowhere to be found. This pair is really good though, my feet felt total comfort as I went for a run with Britt today. I’m finally getting back into running after a long absence. I have been unfaithful since I have come to college, only occasionally would I venture out into the filthy air of Utah to scuttle along (personally I prefer running in California or Florida, Utah is to elevated and has gross air I can feel the impurities seeping into my lungs…maybe I just being dramatic, but probably not). Nevertheless I have once again begun to discover my love for running. It’s coming slowly. I’m not too fond of the during part, but after I feel great. I cannot wait to compete, that was my favorite part. The whole passing people (especially a certain girl) was cool and medaling was awesome, I really liked to see the seconds and minuets shaved off with each race.
So here are my running goals…
1. Be able to run an eight minuet mile again, maybe faster
2. Run a half marathon this summer
3. Run a marathon before I turn 21
4. This one is a little weird but…run so hard and so fast that I throw-up or pass out
I LOVE RUNNING! I LOVE ENDORPHINS! I LOVE BEATING PEOPLE!

solo in italiano

Questo il fine settimana, io, Shamra e Stephaine sono andate lo shopping. Fare cose più divertente, siamo decise che ci solo parlavamo in italiano. Dopo lo shopping sono andate al ristornate Gloria's Little Italy. Era benissimo! Abbiamo fatto più alcuni shopping e dopo siamo mangiato il gelato da Sammys. Era una tantissimo giorno!

a peaceful sunday

This is what goes down in my apartment on sundays. usually im in the position that kirk is in...or in the bathtub, dang that Alexi.

il sole

The sun was out today. It was rather enjoyable. I love the spring and cannot wait until its full force is upon us. My plans to go to Italy this summer don’t seem to be going exactly as I have planned, so I think I will be sticking around here in good ole’ p-town. I can knock off the top 10 things to do in provo, most of them are outside activities. Oh, ya the purpose of the blog entry…I love the sun. Not only is it necessary to sustain life, but it is also essential to my happiness. It’s so hard to be in a bad mood when its so beautifully sunny outside. Mr. Golden Sun has been hiding for quite some time, I’m glad he finally graced us with his glorious rays for I missed them dearly. Walking around campus one could easily see the effects of this splendid visit. Bodies dotted the grass all across university grounds, people sprawled with bags and books around them, couples PDA blooming like spring flowers, and sandal clad girls. Why is it that as soon as the sun comes put so do all the couples, have they too been hiding like the sun in winter. I must admit the only explanation for my annoyance is because I do not have a person to disgust others with PDA. Oh man, where art thou?
sono molto emozionato per estate. io amo il sole e voglio camminare una montagna.

yellow hardware

my computers face is coming off. and it wont update. i hate it. i want to smash it with a hammer! ahhh the frustration that i am feeling right now. never again Dell, never again.

girly girl

Well I just got done being a totally girly girl. Painted the nails (pink of course), applied a face mask and even plucked the eyebrows while a blue turbbie wrap held up my wet hair. It was great fun. I dont think this is necessary all the time, but the occasionally extreme girliness is okay. I love being a girl. Its great!

can i just say...

Can I just say how unbelievably awesome life is. Sure there are bumps along the way, some really really big bumps, mountainesque bumps in fact, but why let those bumps detour you from appreciating how truly astounding life is. There are so many things to be grateful for, don’t waste time focusing on the things that bough you down. It’s a waste of time, waste of energy, and a waste of a thought. Have fun, be grateful, love people.

Can I just say how freakin marvelous missionaries they are. I love them! They rock! They are my favorite! and my best! I have numerous friends out in the world telling others of the greatness that is the gospel of Christ. Whenever I receive a parasol of mail form them I get so excited, it brings a mammoth smile to my face and colossal improvement to my day. You fellas rock! Thanks House, Christoph, Bryant, Hal, Ethan, Trevor, Robby, Jeff, Andy, Steve, Adam, John, Ryan, Amber, and the many others for being worthy to serve a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church is true!

Can I just say how grateful I am for being blessed to be able to attend, in my opinion, the greatest university ever BYU!

Can I just say that life is so much better when you look at things from the bright side.

Can I just say how much I love my brothers. They are awfully groovy. My brother David, age 18, is the funniest thing since something really funny…he has this loud contagious laugh. Haha, if I was in my room and he was laughing about something stupid on television I would yell David shut up, its not that funny, then go into the other room to tell him to shut up so more, “David you are so annoying” I would wind up laughing myself into a fit. Oh which reminds me of this one time when we were watching a movie together and I asked for one of his Pringles he said okay just one. I ate the one Pringle and then shortly after got up to go get some more form the kitchen. When I came back in he saw the Pringles in my hand and started to laugh sincerely loud. I asked what was so funny and he said, “Bet you cant eat just one”. That was written on the side if the Pringle tube. Haha. I love that kid. Oh geeze, Daniel. What a hoot. He is so adorable. He calls my ashwee and always says “Oh man!” I remember when he was born. The first time I saw him I cried, I was so happy. Last time I was home I told him that the moon was made out of cheese, and in order to get to the moon you had to have an invisible rope, he’s still looking for that rope.

Can I just say how stinkin blessed I am.

Can I just how awesome people watching is, especially here at the Y. There is nothing better than observing someone doing something weird.

Can I just say how splendid guys are, I love them. My roomies can attest to that. Hahaha and Elder Ehlen who gets to hear all my ridiculous stories. He soaks it upJ

Can I just say that I love music. Currently I obsessively listen to Ian Axel, A Rocket to the Moon, Owl City, Angels and Airwaves, and Ludovico Einaudi.

Can I just say how freaking sweet friends are. I love to hang with them, laugh with them, talk with them, do whatever with them. “Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long, 'til I'm going to need somebody to lean on."

Can I just say how happy I am right now.

Dear Life,

I love you.

Thanks for being cool.

Love Ashley
