Larsen's

I Love These Girls! This is Kelsey & Ashlyn Larsen. I've know Kelsey since she was in the 2nd Grade (she's almost 21 now) and Ashlyn (her niece) I've known her whole life. I met Kelsey many years ago when I dated her brother Ryan (He was my high school sweetheart). Ryan and I broke up over 10 years ago but I have remained friends with him and his family. I have the up most respect for Kelsey & my heart just goes out for Ashlyn. Kelsey is 20 years old and going to school to be a nurse, she currently works in Labor & Delivery at the local hospital and is a wonderful Aunt to her niece and nephews. Ashlyn has the cutest personality and I love spending time with her, makes me want a girl even more! Without going into detail she doesn't get to have her Mom be with her right now, and that kills me because her Mom is missing out on so much and that time is something she can never get back. Ashlyn gets her wonderful Dad, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles but I feel so sad that she doesn't get to see her Mom. It made me realize how precious my time is with my boys and want to make sure to remind myself because I never want to take for granted those moments. The Larsen's has a special place in my heart I think of them as family (More so than some family memebers of mine) Holly (Mom) taught me a lesson that I think has changed me forever, she taught me it is better to give than it is to recieve, she is a very self less person and loves her famly more than anything and does anything for them, at the time I didn't think much of it but as I look back I realized how much she did/does for her family and their happiness. She showed me its not the money or the cost its the memories that will last forever, sadly I know someone who will never understand that. I will always be greatful for having the chance to know this family they changed me for the better they (along with my Mommy!) are a big impact on who I am today and I will never EVER forget that.
