Ashley....my little Ashley,

I only just met you but I feel like I've known you forever. Well, I did meet you earlier, didn't I? I never dreamed how special you would be to me. You are such an old soul inside such a young girl.

I woke myself up this morning talking in my sleep. That happens every once in a while. Usually when I'm in a new situation or things are going through my head.

I'm so disappointed that you had to leave right after I got here but I am comforted that you are coming back soon. Please stay in touch with me and be sure to contact me as soon as you get back to town.

Be assured that I think about you often and fondly. I am looking into the apartment tomorrow and hopefully will get in sometime this week. It is the one near my most precious new family (sorry I'm being so oblique...let the reader understand). Anyway, did you read about how I bought a little hibiscus tree today? Just a little one but it is so cute and already has bootyful flowers on it.

See you in September,

Love,

Connie

PS. Tell Shayne that he better call me and come over and see me. He knows where I live now so he has no excuse right?
