Day 23 is for the One and Only, Ashley!

This next girl is someone that I connected with straight-away while we were involved in the helping out the Athletics Department at BYU. We both were called in by a mutual friend to help create and start-up BYU's student fan association, Cougar United. Being involved around campus, loving sports, knowing lots of people, and being pretty handy with organizing events and such, we were pulled on-board and helped to get things going. Right off the bat I was kind of taken aback by this girl... This is going to sound a bit shallow, but as I often say, it is what it is... I was a bit shocked by how sweet and kind she was, how sincere and genuine in that kindness, and yet how beautiful. I have a lot of experience with what people classify as "the beautiful crowd," and I've always loved them and got on just fine, but there's a difference a lot of time... I apologize if it offends some, but there is oft times an aire about them, and a "high social status" idea that comes into play. I'm not saying that I am not beautiful, but... you know what I mean.

Anyway, BACK to this girl! Haha...

So, this girl is one of the kindest and most genuine individuals that I know. She really cares about others and loves to help when and where it is needed. She has a pure heart, and brings such happiness wherever she goes. I am thankful for her constant attitude of positivity and ability to have fun in all situations. Even while in stressful moments, she has a smile on her face and is quick to solve a problem. She is intelligent and funny... She will do AMAZING things in her life, and touch many lives, simply by being herself. I am so thankful for her example, humility and friendship - to know she is always there is I need her. She is amazing...

Today, I dedicate this thankfulness note to, Ashley Graf Davis!

Ashley, you have grown into someone I truly look up to and adore - even though I know you're younger than I am. Haha! :) You are a beautiful woman inside and out, and sincerely, have one of the BEST hearts I have ever come across... and I know a lot of people. You are a fantastic example and true friend. I know that you are someone I can always count on, even if we're not always close in distance and communication. You are amazing, and I will always think to you in times I need a little "pick-me-up." Thanks for being the person that you are... Today, I am thankful for YOU, Ashley!
*muah*

Song of the Day: This song is actually from her wedding, but I had never heard it before then. Now, I claim Dave Barnes as one of my favorite artists - so amazing. Here is his song, Until You. LOVE. Enjoy!
