363 days

On Monday April 6th it will be 365 days since Ashley passed away. I have been thinking about how I will mark that day. To be honest I am not sure that day will be any different than the past 364 days before it. For the past 363 days I have prayed daily, cried often, questioned lots of things, been angry and anxious.
No matter what stage of grief you are in...... it sucks!

Ashley
Ashley is a smart, funny, beautiful, free spirited and sweet 19 year old. She loves music and acting goofy. She wants to be a organic chef when she is done with school. She knows what she wants and doesn't let anyone stand in her way. Ashley moved to Austin in 2013 to fulfill her dream of going to Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. While in Austin Ashley slipped into the darker side of the city. It is with a heavy heart that I say Ashley passed away on April 6th, 2014.

Preston
Preston is such a boy who makes us laugh. He loves to jump, run, scream, climb but also loves to snuggle. I love seeing his little mind at work. Preston will be 8 on Halloween.

Lillian
Lily is the princess of the family. She has us all tricked into doing whatever she wants. She loves to play dress up and read her books. She always has a smile on her sweet face. Lily will be 8 on Halloween.

Carly

Our newest baby girl. We didn't find out the gender (since this is our last) we were completely shocked that she was a she. We just assumed boy. You know the way I was carrying, stupid myths! Anyway we are completely over the moon in love with our precious Carly. She is certainly our firecracker. Carly will be 3 in April.
