Remember this little girl? Well, Ashton is all grown up now. Stephen and I took our little, all grown up girl to the airport yesterday to send her off to college at BYU in Provo. What an emotional day for us. A time to reflect on our daughter's life and how fast time has flown. She's turned into quite the young lady, ready for her new adventure. She has dreamed of going to BYU ever since she was little and worked so hard over the years in school to make her goal a reality. She is a hard worker and very success oriented. She decides on something she wants and goes after it. This strong work ethic will help her in the future to be successful in college. We look forward to watching her continue to grow with the new experiences she will be having. We're actually jealous because we know how much fun she is going to be having! Good luck to our little girl--we love you, Ashton.
All dressed in pink from head to toe--even her suitcases were pink.
Ashton follows her Dad into the airport--you could feel the anticipation and excitement. When we checked in her large bag it was over the 50 pound limit and would cost 90.00. The guy told us to take some stuff out that we didn't need. We scavanged through the suitcase removing a hairdryer, 3-4 jeans, sweatshirts and a very heavy flat iron (to straighten your hair). We got it down to 50 pounds. Then the guy asked me what we were going to do with all the stuff we had taken out. I said I would just mail it to her in a box. He quietly told us to put it back in the suitcase. We quietly did what we were told (well, I did and had to remind Ashton to lower her voice!) and he promptly tagged her suitcase and loaded it down the conveyer belt. He said we owed him a cup of coffee. Thanks whoever you are!

wow, she did look like a little pink legally blonde girl! Sorry you had such a hard day....just part of life I suppose.
ReplyDeleteAnd,,, I do remember that little girl in the top picture with big bows and ribbons to match absolutely every outfit you had for her. You made a little primadonna and didn't even know it! I'm glad that guy gave you a break at the checkout.... did he know she was going to college?
ReplyDeleteHe knew and he was trying to hit on me. Duh!
ReplyDeleteeveryone is always trying to hit on you,,,, ha ha... wasn't stephen there?
ReplyDeleteStephen was in the batroom. It's a good thing because it saved us 90.00!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she is starting college. It is a good thing Mr. Airport Man was flirting with you because it saved you $90. :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting but hard to let your little girl leave. Time goes by to fast. She seems to be having a fantastic time and already settling into freshman life by staying up until 4am.
