Congrats, but I will miss you...

So as exciting as Saturday was, and as happy as I am for Shelby to be embarking on this new journey in her life, I sure will miss her.... For any of you who don't know, she got her call and FINALLY opened it yesterday. She will be serving in the Independence, MO mission in the visitor's center there. I can't even begin to imagine all of the emotions that she is going through right now... She is leaving on THE EXACT DATE she put that she would be available. December 17th. Which means Christmas without my best friend. I just want Shel to know how proud I am of her, and how much I look up to her. You really are the best friend and sister I could have ever asked for. Thank you for the great times we have shared.... Here are some pictures for old times sake.... I love the memories we have, and I cherish all of the crazy, yet AMAZING times we have had together... :)















I LOVE YOU SHELBY NICOLE!

Your family is amazing and hope that someday when I have my children, they are half as close as you two are.

I finally, after all this time, got to look at your blogspot. I am going to link it to mine. You guys are so cute! I wish so bad you still lived around here. I am excited for Shelby but sad for you. I know how it is to miss a sister. Guess what? We are getting a new baby boy!!!! Lorraine2525@yahoo.com

I KNOW, I KNOW....you wrote this like two weeks ago...but I just barely had a few minutes to sit down and browse through a few blogs...(obviously yours being one of them)...Ash, thank you SO MUCH! I am so grateful for all the good times we've had...those pictures definitely brought back good memories..haha...but I can think of a few big ones you missed... ;) We will have plenty of time to make more memories so don't go all sappy on me :) haha You'll do fine without me...just stay out of trouble!!!!!!! And if you get desperate...hop on a plane and take a church history tour starting in Independence :) I will miss you immensely! I am so glad you came home to spend these last couple months with me...its been good getting to be "us" again! :D Maybe we should strive a little harder to go back to the BEST days for the next 5 weeks...shared everything, joined at the hip, "THE BRADLEY SISTERS" :) Love you, sista!

Ashton: Loved seeing Mason's photo. The kiddies miss you terribly. Please call us!

Good luck to Shelby. I know how hard it must be for you as you were both so close. Please tell your mom we are thinking of her as well.
