CRAZY!

this last week has been one of the best of my life. i got accepted to my number 1 school, we're moving to boston (it's official. i put down my deposit on school). we attended the most WONDERFUL james family reunion over the weekend full of zip-lining, hiking, laughing, talking into the wee hours of the night. it was really the most joyous wonderful reunion and i wish it could have been longer! then we came home on tuesday and in the mail was waiting a letter from my school (mount ida college) saying there was a mandatory orientation meeting on the 12 of july. next tuesday?! yes. next tuesday. i booked a flight last night and scott and i will be flying to boston mass on sunday night, getting in monday morning and staying till thursday morning. we'll be getting our housing situated and seeing boston for the FIRST TIME. why are we even moving out there? i ask myself that sometimes too. WOAH! it's happening so fast. we have about 2.5 weeks left before graduation and i'm feeling more and more stressed figuring out loans, grants, school, moving, graduation, everything!! i also feel completely and wholly blessed how perfectly this has all worked out. just wanted to give you an update. 
love you all, ashley


p.s. here are a few pictures i snagged from my brothers blog from the family reunion. enjoy!

Jealous you two get to be in New England. I served in the New Hampshire Manchester Mission, which is just one north of Boston I believe. Part of my mission was actually in Massachusetts. Hope you guys have a blast.
