HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORTER "little Bug"

Happy Birthday BUG! I miss you SO much! I can't wait to play cars and chase camels on the beach with you in Dubai. Love you- aunt ashee

I need to tell you all a quick story about Brittany....

back in the high school days britt was driving me somewhere, where, im not sure, but it doesn't matter. all i can remember is that we were late. britt was in the car honking for me to come out (usually a daily occurence)and i was ticked that she was being so impatient. out in the car, britt proceeded to yell at me and i just couldn't take it anymore, so i yelled "I-I Captain" just to make her mad. i then stuck my head out the window to muffle any sound still coming from her mouth. britt proceeded to yell out, "you're right ash", "i am the captain and this is my ship" as she rolled my head up in the window.... i sat there with my head hanging out the window, face freezing, screaming everything and anything about my sister to the world.

i tell you this story to express my love for britt....what? yes, britt has ALWAYS and will continue to be the captain of her ship. i love brittany for so many reasons. she is one of the most amazing women i know. from graduating law school, to running marathons, to being an incredible mother of 3 and all else she has accomplished in between, this woman does not skip a beat. britt, is the kind of person that is always interested in what you are doing. she finds time in her busy life to drop what she is doing to talk. she is my sounding board, a listening ear, and one of the most real people i know. britt, is always everyone's best cheerleader and never forgets to call or send a gift for anyone's special day. she is incredibly strong and has weathered many storms with a smile on her face. i know my life has been deeply effected by her strength. she is beautiful on the inside and out and will forever be "tall girl" in our family. britt has an incredible spirit and shares her testimony with me in so many ways. i appreciate her eternal outlook on life and i am happy to have her as an eternal sister and friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTANY! xoxo

Birthday Shout Outs....

This month we celebrated a few birthday's at our little home here in Salt Lake. We celebrated Molly's birhtday on Feb. 7 at Rio Grande with a fun little group of girls. We had such a wonderul time laughing, telling horror stories of random dates, bowling, and of course the yummy cupcakes compliments of Nancy. What a fun celebration. Also this month, we celebrated Ashlee Cook and Jocelyn Deed's birthday's. We attended a little suprise party at Epic for Joc. I think the best part of that night was watching her reaction and facial expressions when she came in. What a fun little suprise to see her so excited. We celebrated Ash's Birthday at the DODO. Unable to come, I went down Sunday to help her celebrate with an organic ice-cream cake (compliments of roommate Alexis)....who knew organic ice cream could taste so good? Pretty tasty I must say.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES!!! XOXO
