This is a little delayed, and for that I am sorry. I couldn't decide if I wanted to write about how amazing it was that so many friends turned out to see me...or the fact that everyone I know is a liar with a sneaky side... haha!

Besides the fact that everyone lied (I'll get over it, eventually), I had a blast! I walked in to Gusano's on Friday night to find about 50 of my closest friends! Thank you Jackie and Terri (and crew) for setting up my bday celebration. It was amazing to have so many friends in the same place!

I have never had a birthday celebration that would even rival this night... I walked in and people started yelling and clapping - what a welcome! (Yes, I was on the verge of happy tears) When I got close I was bombarded with hugs and greetings! Thank you everyone for coming out and celebrating with me! You guys are the best! It was great to see so many people face to face. Honestly, the face to face conversations are what I find myself missing the most.... so this party was exactly what I needed!!

I am one happy birthday girl! I definitely feel the love! Thank you friends for an unforgettable night! Thank you for the gifts and cards and blessings! You guys do not understand how much the encouragement is helping! You guys are keeping my spirits up...and making the whole process much less painful! Thank you!!!!

Love,

Ash
