HI HI HI HI HI STEPHIKINS! Hehe, this is the Ashlyn of the past! Ya know, the 15-year-old Ashlyn from freshman year?!? I would hope you know me, cuz I would hope that I'm still pretty much the same by the time you get this! And I'd hope we're still friends, although I don't think I have *ANYTHING* to worry about there, cuz we're just too cool to not be friends our senior year! HAHAHA! So have I mentioned that I love you more than words can express!?!? Cuz I do! *holds out arms as wide as possible* I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH AND THEN EVEN MORE! Well, how's life been since Spring Break of freshman year? When you went to Atlanta right after the tornado hit and played volleyball...I hope that life's been uber spectacular to you, because you deserve that and so much more...I know you get stressed out about volleyball and homework and everything that's happening, and I wanted you to know that I pray for you and I wish you the very best! I pray for you all the time and ask that God gives you peace and happiness! So, yeah...You really are, like, the perfect anime character come to life! You're so cute, inside and out! You've got one of the cutest personalities that I've ever had the good fortune to experience and you are my sunshine...my only sunshine...You make me happy, when skies are grey! You'll never know dear! How much I love you! Oh please don't take...My sunshine away! Oh yes, you are definatly my sunshine! You're so creative and fun to talk to! And EASY to talk to! I know that I can tell you *ANYTHING* and that you'll listen and help me and try to make everything better, because I know you care about me soooooo much! And I love you for that! So how has your day been? Your year? Your life? Hehe! You may be wondering how you're going to answer these questions. Well, I would think that the answer is simple: CALL ME! As soon as you get this email and read through it, CALL ME! Even if it's at 11:39 at night (why are you up so late?! Shouldn't you be sleeping?!?!)!!!!!! Hopefully by then...or now...w/e...I've got a cell phone! Cuz then you can call me and not wake everyone else up... Ya know, I just thought of something: I've told lots of people to call me as soon as they get the email I've sent to them in the future...So what if everyone gets it at the same time?!?! Then they'll all call me at the same time...That would be no bueno...Hehe, so if you call me and it's busy, I'm sorry! But I'll call you back ASAP! ^-^ YOU ARE SO AWESOME AND AMAZING AND YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY AND YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU CAN COMPREHEND! YOU'RE ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE I'M COMFORTABLE EXPRESSING MYSELF AND TELLING MY FEELINGS TO, BECAUSE EVEN IF I CAN'T CONVEY WHAT I'M FEELING IN THE RIGHT WAY, I KNOW THAT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND ME. WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER SO WELL AND WE ARE IN EACH OTHER'S MINDS SO MUCH THAT IT'S ALMOST CREEPY, BUT DEFINATLY REALLY REALLY COOL! I CAN'T IMAGINE GOING THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT YOU AND I KNOW THAT WE'LL BE FRIENDS UNTIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AT HOW DORKY WE WERE AND LAUGH, THEN GO RIGHT OUT AND DO THE SAME STUFF! YOU'RE ALWAYS UP FOR WHATEVER CRAZY THING I COME UP WITH, YOU ALWAYS SUPPORT ME AND BRING MY SELF-ESTEEM UP ABOUT 80 BAJILLION NOTCHES EVERY TIME I TALK TO YOU! YOU LIFT ME UP AND YOU ARE MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON! I CAN COUNT ON YOU TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS SUCH A FANTASTIC PERSON DESERVES AND DEFINATLY NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ONE ONE-HUNDRETH OF HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU! REMEMBER THAT HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU AND HE WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON! NEVER FORGET HOW MUCH HE CARES FOR YOU!!!
