Ashley Marie Burgess

I was never too nervous about meeting Ashley Marie.
Before we moved into Wyview for our freshman year of college I emailed her and asked her to send a picture of herself. She also told me a few things about herself. I saw her, read through it, and had confidence that we would get along. And we do.
I feel like we are very similar in our thinking.
Her and Viv combined is like the ultimate interrogation. She has a knowledge of what I am thinking so she knows what to ask, and Viv knows how to phrase it. That is when all the real secrets come out.
Ash loves math, and is really good at it, but that does not define her. There is so much more to her. She follows her dreams and writes messages to missionaries with cups on fences. She had the idea of the Visible Light Spectrum for a halloween costume. She love soccer. I enjoy watching her games. I love to play racquetball with her. We eat ice cream together. We just have a great time.
She is my room roommate. We have matching bedspreads. Which was definitely not on purpose. I think we knew we definitely needed to be room roommates the first day we met. Mostly because we have matching bedspreads and it would be cute to have matching bedspreads in the same room. And let me tell you it is.
I love ash. She is one of my best friends, for life, forever.
