Hey guys!

How is everyone? Good I hope.. I'm okay.. tired from all of the post holiday activities in the Warren household.. lol. We've been putting away all of the Christmas dishes and things like that, so I'm tired from that and all of the after Christmas shopping I've been doing.. lol. I have such a hard life don't I?!? HAHAHA! Yeah right... lol.

So lately my Dad hasn't been feeling too well... he was diagnosed with PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) and the beginning of Diabetes this year, and there's a chance of him develpoing a tumor or something further down the road.. I'm so scared.. I don't want anything to happen to him.. even though our relationship hasn't always been that great, I don't want anything bad to happen to him.. it's just an awful sight to se him sick like he has been recently. Everyone pray for him please.. I would appreciate it!

On a positive note, I'm chilling at Lauren and Duma's house tonight... I'm too excited.. lol. Then Lauren is coming here for New Year's Eve.. and 2 days after New Years Day nick comes home from his vacation... Florida must be nice this time of year, huh? lol. I'd do anything (well, not anything.. lol) to be in the tropical sun right now, instead of stupid Pennsylvania. I want to get out of here so badly, but I want to be close to my friends... I couldn't imagine my life without the laughs I share with Lauren and Duma. I just could't.. they both mean so much to me! lol.. I'm never going to leave Bethlehem.. just watch.. lol.

Nick: but now i am so tired

Nick: i'm going to sleep

Ashley: so am I.. I waited to say goodnight to you! lol

Nick: that's sweet

Nick: bedtime for me

Nick: thanks for waiting for me

Ashley: goodnight! no problem! :-)

Nick: i'll talk to you tomorrow

Okay, so I had better explain what this conversation below this is about.. the day that Nick and I had our first date, I wanted him to meet my Dad, so I brought him into the house and they started talking and my dad was watching the news... and this story about Ford cars came on.. so my Dad says, without thinking I might add, "Anyone who doesn't drive a Ford is an idiot..." and I let out this "Oh My GOD" noise and Nick said to him "Well, I guess I am.." I could have died! It was just so awful! lol.

Second explanation: Me and Nick came back from a nice romantic walk, and we went into my Dad's computer room to say hi to him.. so my Dad and I were talking and I totally forgot that I was on his computer earlier in the day listening to Josh Groban.. so when my dad put on his Real Player thing, I said quickly, "Oh Dad.. click out of this.. I don't think you want to hear Josh Groban.." My Dad turned and said to me.. dead serious.. "That pillow biter was on my computer?!?" Oh my Lord.. I nearly died, but thank God Nick just laughed.. lol.. now that I think about it, it's funny! lol!

***************************************

Ashley: Sorry about my family.. lol

Ashley: I think so too.. actually I know so!
