The Epic Adventures of Ashleigh Fowler: May 2011

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! I would like to dedicate today's post to my Grandpa Keigley! He was in the Korean War! Our Veterans did so much for our country. They fought and died for our freedom.

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay,

And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

~Mrs. Lyman Hancock

Blogging seems to be a popular thing lately. Thought I would try it. I love writing so I might as well share it with the ones closest. Now I'm still learning how to use this so bare with me!

Here I am in little G-Town Colorado. Born and raised! I'm about to graduate in a few days! I can't be anymore excited!! I can't wait to start the rest of my life! It's mind blowing. I feel like yesterday my brother Wade and I were outside playing Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I find myself pondering the past with my mom a lot lately... Odd how time flies.

Well, today was great! I like Sunday nights when I don't think about homework! I'm happy to take a break from it all. I can now stay up till 2am and not worry about being up at 6am to get ready for seminary!

My senior year was awesome! I loved most of it. There were times that were too stressful. Last week was awful! So much stress. It was hard to think that it was the last week with the kids I grew up with, the kids I saw everyday.

I remember my first day of high school.... I was so scared! I couldn't find any of my classes and no one was helping me!

After I got past my fear, I thought I was all that. I was in high school! It was so cool! I look back and I realize... I was annoying and stupid! Being a freshman totally sucks! You're the baby! No one wants to be around the baby! Now that I'm a senior, I'm happier to not be a freshman anymore.

Everyday I want to be somewhere else. I've been in the same place doing the same thing everyday. I'm ready to move on and find who I am. I'm ready to be my own person and figure out what I want. I a few days, I'll be set free and free to do what I want. I'm moving in with my uncle and his family while I attend a community college. I'm so greatful for a family that can deal with me for that long. How my parents did it, I will never know! I love my family and I cant imagine having a different one growing up.
