a happy day indeed.

you didnt know we were taking the longer trip home - but i'm glad you did. i didnt mind being in the car with you just a couple minutes longer.

As we drove along in the night listening to music, talking, and laughing... something happened that i will never forget. I was so incredibly touched that i had to look out the window hoping you wouldnt see the tear that fell from my eye.

I had just brought up the topic of "my hand" and you looked at me as if you knew something i didnt. You looked at me with your smile and said, "Ashlyn, when i saw that picture of you and your hands... well, i have never seen a more beautful picture. You are so beautiful." Thats when looked out the window wondering how i was so lucky to have met you.

there was something sweet about the way you called me beautiful. something sweet i have never felt before. thank you for everything.

Sincerely, Ashlyn
