But I just wanted to make my first post of many this past 12 days I will be gone. I am hoping to blog a little something everyday for you people who actually read my blog! lol Plus this will kind of be like a journal for me. I am so excited and blessed to able to go to Haiti and work with the people there. Keep an eye out for my blog. I will try to keep it updated! Love ya all! If i don't make it home...PLEASE come find me! lol ;) Love ya!
Never the Leading Lady!
So after watching one of my favorite movies I can't help but think that its right! I am never the Leading Lady...I'm always the best friend. (Can you name the movie I am talking about?) Nothing is wrong about being the best friend but I just hope someday I will be the leading lady in my life! I know its kind of a sad post but let's face it...girls have to vent! :) But I must say, I LOVE my life! I am happy with my new student council position at school, the opportunity I get to go to Haiti, and I love my family!!! What more can I ask for...O wait...I know a MAN! lol Someday, Take One Step at a Time Right? ;)
UVU all the way!!!!
I am so excited, I could hardly sleep last night and in shock all at once! :) I am now the new Social Chair for UVUSA (Utah Valley University Students Association). For those of you who know I applied and I GOT IT!!! I have been wanting to do this position for a while now but didn't have the GPA last year. I was at a 2.9 and you had to have a 3.0 to apply so I had to wait until the fall semester of last year was over cause then i would my GPA would go up, and it did. But during the middle of this semester the girl who had the Social Chair position decided to quit, so that left an opening. I applied and even though they said I was the most qualified, they gave it to some guy (actually his name is AJ, LOSER! jk) because he was kind of working under the girl who quit, so instead of training a new person they give it to him. So, i was kind of like whatever, i will apply for the new year and see what happens. My good friend Trevor is the new Student Body President for UVU! Yay! Congrats! He was giving me all this advise for my interview that I had on Monday. I think it only made me more nervous. But I went into my interview, thought I did okay. I was still nervous because Trevor had told me 9 other people applied for the same position as I did and one of them was Kim's (VP of Student Activities) cousin so I thought that there was even a bigger chance I wouldn't get it. So interviews were Monday and Tuesday and tuesday night, Trevor text me and says..."I just love you so much!" Now, I was thinking, great he is only saying that cause I didn't get it right? So, i reply thanks, love you too. but you can tell me its okay. :) He then said He can't that's Kims job. Then I was thinking, great even if you don't get it? He said YEAH so I was thinking I didn't get it. Anyways, to make a long story short. lol Kim called me last night and Congrats me and asked if I will except the position of Social Chair on the UVUSA? :) Of course I was like YES!!! I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with the students at UVU and meet new people and most of all HAVE FUN! Cause we all know, I am so Young!!! ;) GO UVU!

I just have to post these pictures of my nephew and my dad playing Mario Kart! We went downstairs one night to find my dad and my nephew playing the Wii and their faces say it ALL!!! So cute! I just love them both so much!
Vegas Weekend!!!
I had a pre birthday bash this last weekend. It's actually my birthday tomorrow and Jordan's birthday was Tuesday so we decided to go to Vegas and gamble our money away! :) So we did...we left Thursday night and came home Sunday night. It was a blast. We stayed at my Aunt's house(thanks again)and sang a little Disney karaoke, went to In n Out about five times, tried Golden Spoon for the first time thanks to Sara. :) (yummy! thanks friend.)We went to about 8 casinos and did a little shopping. Not to mention a speeding ticket! Yep...that's right, don't worry when it rains it pours for me in my life. About a month ago I got pulled over and got a ticket for not stopping for a ped. but don't worry the other five cars in front of me didn't get a ticket...just me! I love po po's! :) So I was determined to win the 82.00 to pay for my ticket. Turns out Luck was not on my side. :) I lost 15 dollars which is great considering I only put in 20. :) But we got Player Cards and won 10 bucks from those so that was fun. Jordan and Sara lost a little more then me and they have a funny story. Check out Sara's Blog when she posts her trip. Jordan is so fun to gamble with cause he just goes all the way!!! lol But I had a great pre birthday bash and I am accepting my old age more and more. :) 25 is not all that bad! I am excited to spend time with some friends downtown tomorrow for my birthday at Keys on Main! It is the best place ever...if you haven't been, GO! You will love it I promise! :) 
Sara and me singing our hearts out. Don't worry...I am amazing, I bet everyone!!!
I guess Jordan didn't think so :)
Yummy! Need I say more?
My first win in Vegas...I cashed out at $3.00 :)
First cash out for Sara and Jordan too, Say cheese Jason...he was on the phone with Jordan.
Blackjack is very intense!
My Players Card and the 10 bucks I won!!! I'm a true Playa'

Last Christmas Gift!!!
I had the best Christmas ever this year!!! I am so blessed to be spoiled by my parents this year. I guess it pays to be the last child at home not married. ;) I got to have Christmas early this year cause Christmas morning we planned on getting up early to bet the storm and go to Vegas to be with my aunt and her family. (side note...we ended up leaving Christmas Eve night about seven thirty and drove to St. George so we could bet the storm the next day which we did but we did hit some snow on our way down.) So Christmas Eve morning I woke up...opened my flat screen TV that I knew I was getting and thought that was it, but I also received a Flip video recorder which is super cute and then a bunch of little things like earrings, perfume etc. Then my mom tells me I have one more to open but cant open it until we get to my sisters house in Layton. So we get ready, drive up to Layton to see what my niece and nephews got from Santa because he came early to. My brother in law had to work Christmas morning so Santa came early for them too. We got to their house had breakfast and then I got to open my gift. I was so nervous cause I didn't know what it was...my mom said I could cry or laugh which didn't help. :) But I opened it up to find that...(drum roll please.) I am going to HAITI!!!!
Its a humanitarian project called Healing Hands for Haiti and I will be gone May 12th-24th. I was so shocked!!! I even called it Tahiti I think...cause I was just shocked. But I got it right the second time I looked at it. :) But I am so excited to go and help the people there. I will be working in the orphanage and help the doctors and nurse with the people there in the clinics. I am just so blessed to have great parents...and so blessed I can do this right now in my life. It will be a life changing thing for me and I can't wait to go and service the people in Haiti. Don't worry I will keep you all posted the days before I go and if I can let you know how I am doing when I am there. That probably wont happen cause Haiti is one of the poorest countries, but I can't wait to share with you the things I learned and experienced when I get back. I feel so blessed and excited to go! I hope you all have a Happy New Year and it brings you all joy! Happy New Year!
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
I just LOVE Elf!!! As you can tell. ;) As you all know I work at the Daycare in American Fork and they put up these decorations that just remind me of Elf. So I thought to myself...It would be so fun to go and take pictures with the "Elf" land next door. Needless to say I did it and with my good friend Trevor who shares the elf culture with me. :) It's his birthday the day after Christmas and this year he will be in Cancun. I really don't want to talk about that. lol (side note...he calls me today and rubs it in that he will be in Cancun in 8 hours. I hate him right now!) :) JK Trevor...if you read this I do love ya! ;) Anyways, I took him to the Voicemale concert at Thanksgiving point. It was so Good!! I just love them. I took him last year for his birthday as well so we are going to just make it tradition until one of us gets married.:) After the concert I asked him if he wanted to do one more adventure with me and of course he said YES! :) I ended up getting the pictures I wanted! It was perfect. Happy Birthday Trevor and Merry Christmas Everyone! 
Trevor and Me 
Where is Trevor?
lol the best Elf face...remember this part in the movie?
I just love elf culture
It's me...Buddy!
Tinker Training
SANTA!!!
I know him!
What's a Christmas Gram? I want one!
I love this time of year. We get to be with family and loved ones, remember our Savior Jesus Christ, tell someone how much you love and appreciate them with a gift and best of all we get to watch Elf! :) (even though lets be honest I watch it all year round.) I could go on and on with Elf quotes. :)
This year went by so fast. I can't believe its going to be 2009! Crazy! Its weird to think that next year I will be 25 years old. :) I remember being a little girl and wishing I was older like my sister. Now I am thinking, I want to be young again! lol I know some of you are probably thinking...25...Ashley you are so young and I do feel that way its just going to be super weird to tell people I am 25! Especially here in Utah. Its like every where else I would be so young but here in this great state of Utah I am "Old" ;) But I love my life. I love going to school and I am so grateful this semester is almost over! No more Biology! :) yay! I like working, dating (even though I am more of a queen on being set up then anything) being with my family and friends, and I love this gospel! What more could I ask for in life? :) Besides finding my eternal companion. :) I love my life. I am so blessed to be living now and I can't wait for what the next year has in stored for me! Merry Christmas!
Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from Elf! I just can't help but post some of them.:)
Watch out...yellow ones don't stop!
I painted a picture of a butterfly
I'll call ya in five minutes...better you call me!
I like to whisper too
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
Ten a.m. ....Santa is Coming! SANTA....I know him!
You look very purplie in that dress!
But the children LOVE THE BOOKS!
Does someone need a hug?
Happy Holidays! :)
