9)   She arrived into this world with a strong will, and that strong will helps her to achieve her goals

10) She's a quick learner.  A smart girl that knows how to use the brain God gave her.

11) She has determination, she decided to buy a house, and by golly she did it!

12) She serves others...no wonder they keep calling her to be RS President.

22) Follows the prophet’s council, no two piercings for her!

25) Whatever she sets out to do she does it well

27) Has values and a moral compass. She is on a course back to her Heavenly Father.

28) Is a great missionary, not afraid to share the gospel with others… Just ask anybody in Meadville PA.


29) Has learned to grow old gracefully...she just gets better with age!  Kinda like cheese!

30) She likes to have a good time!  Hope you are having a great time on your 30th birthday!  Have a fun weekend in Sedona!


Ashley,  I hope that your 30th birthday is one that you will never forget!  It is hard to believe that I have a 30 year old daughter, which means one thing....I'm getting old!  You have been such a blessing to me and our family over the past thirty years and words can not express the love I have for you.  You are a beautiful person and I admire you so very much.  Thank you for the woman that you have become...you make me proud!    Happy Birthday Ash!!   Love you!  Mom
