I spent two nights with Roman again. Blessed. It's like everything bad that we are dealing with in our lives momentarily disappears when we are together. I hope that never goes away.

We got a futon and I was proud of us because we bartared with them and lowered the price by $15!! Woo go us. I was like, "ask if they think it's realy worth ____" and he got them to lower the price 10 bucks. then I say "Hmm.... I dunooo honeyyyy, what do you think?" *twist hair and give indecisive looking eyebrow arch* "Okay, OKay," the sales lady says, "You dont have to twist my arm" and she lowers the price by $5 more. Hahaha we win!

anyway, it's black and exactly what we wanted for a fraction of the cost!

I bought some awesome clothes today that I am excited about. God, I can't believe I just used the word awesome. I loathe it. Anyway, I used gift certificates, in my defense.

Then I went to work, it was easy. Had a meeting so it's like I only had to work 5 hours really. I might miss my coworkers when I transfer Menards locations. I'm kinda sad about that. oh well.

Roman and I went to Vandercook lake in Spring Arbor while i was there in Jackson... It was a blast. It was the most perfect sunny day. We forgot the grill to cook our 97 cent hot dogs that we bought so we were angry and pissy but then he convinced me to actually go in the water and we had such a fun time. God I needed that.

So, I pay my car insurance tomorrow and I am finally under my own plan, not paying my parents anymore. I schedule classes for Davenport on Friday (scary). So I guess, Responsibility, here I come.

Other than that.... There are two things I really hate right now: Smoking/cigarettes, and money... Yeah. I'm not even going to try to explain why I hate the first thing I listed. Gawd, how selfish. HOW SELFISH!!!! Nevermind.

Anyway, i have a sad, lonely, slightly drunken boyfriend to tend to. Long story. I'm off.

I love him.

PS. I am also getting quite excited for stef and paul's wedding. I really like this guy. A good catch, definetly. i dont know where I'm going with that, but i'm just glad stef isn't marrying some jerk.

Well my open house went well actually.

thanks to everyone who came. and especially thanks to gunnie. the letter was incredibly sweet. it meant a lot and i'm so glad you came. i'm sorry i missed you when you left and i feel like an ass. i miss you, i really truly do. i really realized that today...but i feel like i never missed a beat with you. i feel like we still are the friends we always were. i love you!!

and other than that... my family was all cool and the weather was hot but very nice and afterwards me and roman hung out, couldn't find anything to do , so we ended up staying at MY house, which is totally amazing, and watching a movie which we probably haven't done in an entire year. it felt nice and like the old days.

anyway, hooray, im done with that and one step closer to moving out.

yesterday i packed so much stuff. all my cds and my stereo are packed in boxes and taped shut. my picture frames are all put away and wrapped up tight with packing paper. .. we are just so excited for this. i can't wait! looking at those moving boxes in my room just makes me a million more time excited. hooray.

So Stacy decided that I should update this, so here I am. I love Stacy so I guess this is only for her. She's pretty much the best.

I've been really busy. My weeks consist of a lot of shopping, hanging out with Luke, and hanging out with my friends.

Yesterday I went swimming at Luke's and he pushed me in the pool and when we were racing to my car he hit me with the door on acciden't and he almost knocked me out. I thought that was pretty rude! Haha j/k.

Today I hung out with Lisa and then later on tonight my cousins from Los Angeles are flying in so my family is all going out to dinner. I'm so excited to see them. I <3 them.

This weekend I have a lot of open houses to go to like always. Pretty soon they are almost over with. I have like five to go to every Saturday and they get really boring after a while.

Next week I'll be with my cousins.

The weekend after that is Emily's baby shower and my grandma from Florida is flying in.

In July we are going on vacation. We haven't decided where we are going. Last year we went to NY, but this year we are going somewhere else.

In August I'm going to California for a few weeks. I'm really stoaked about that. I'm definitely a California girl at heart.

I miss Luke. He's gone today and tomorrow for basketball. He's always gone for basketball, but I'm gone for most of the summer so it's pretty much even. I feel bad about that, but I'm always gone for the summer, and that's the way it's been for my whole life.

Oh yeah, my dad is buying a new house. It's pretty sweet and it has an alarm system in it so for all the times when he's gone for work and me and whoever stay there, we don't have to worry about being killed. That's always a plus.

So I guess that's about it.

It's weird when you think nothing's changed, but really everything has.

<3 Ashley

Please don't say I love you,
those words touch me much too deeply
they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me
And please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
Please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway
It makes me want to make you near me always
And when you look in my eyes
please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms
you have complete power over me
So be gentle if you please, 'cause
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
Babe, and it makes me want to make you near me always
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
Babe, and it makes me want to make you near me always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always

So today was nice. i worked a reallly short shift of only 4 hours ... except for getting out late it was a good shift. i was so pissed we got slammed when i was supposed to get out and i guess 2 girls got confussed on who was supposed to go in for me so neither one did and i got out like 20 minutes late. it sucked

but then i met roman and we got TONS of stuff from paul and stef *THANK YOU GUYS* ...tons of towels, glasss cups, dishes plates, toaster oven, george formann grill, gosh i cant even remmber it all.. a tv and stand... all for a great deal. so thanks again guys we really appreciate it.

then amazing and even though we "shouldnt" have, we went to Logans for dinner in Kzoo because we hadnt ate out in a long time. we were just gonna use the grill again but we didnt want to.

well then we went to meijers and got some sheets and pillow cases for like 13 bucks which was a great deal and some fancy placemats.

i am throughly excited to move into the new place. now my only problem is how tremendously my insurance has been raised because of that ticket i got. ugh so if anyone knows a cheap insurance company let me know please.

that is all.

I just cannot figure it out.

Is it real? I dont know. I think so but I dont know when I'll figure if it is or not for sure.

But that, give me a break. It's insane. Is it just peoples' solace for absolutely everything that is going wrong in their lives?

it must be. I can't believe any of it. it's so incredibly stupid and fake. WOW

i would hate to be one of them the day they realize it's all a fucking joke. but hey, i guess everyone needs a little solace in their life.
