Ashley for President!

Ok so I'm not really running for president (what?? I know), BUT I will be moving to his neck of the woods!! On August 25th, I will be moving to Washington, DC. Yeah! My boyfriend is coming too, & he'll be getting his LLM in tax law at Georgetown - so proud of him! Of course I will be blogging about all of our new adventures in a new town. It will be so fun! Here is a picture of the house I'm trying to rent while we're there. I hear Pennsylvania Avenue is pretty nice. Haha!

It'll be great to be near the new Miss Teen International winner - she lives in Maryland! I hear she already has some great appearances set up for us to do. Plus, DC is a great location for traveling. The transportation over there on the East Coast is better than here in Texas, so I will be able to go to more events in more states! 

I'll be sad to leave the Lone Star State, but we are taking enough Rockets, Aggie, Longhorn, & Texans stuff with us there will be no doubt where we're from :) I'll always be a Texas Girl!!

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

So I haven't been able to read as much as I had hoped this summer. Somehow I haven't had a free day to myself at all! But one the various plane rides I've taken this summer, I decided to begin The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Judging a book by its cover (which I always do!), I was left with a big 'Hmmm...'

My mom raved about this book, and the reviews it's received are all fantastic & amazing. It's been called one of the best books of our time. With that said, this is how my mom described it: "It's a book about a boy who raises dogs with his family." BORING! I knew there had to be more to it, so I was duped into reading it.

I'm only about 100 pages in, but I must say I'm not too impressed. I really want to be proven wrong because I have been looking for a fantastic story for a while now. I want to read a really WONDERFUL book. I hope this book turns out that way (and I hear it's supposed to!), but right now it doesn't look promising. I'm hoping someone else will read it too & give their opinion.

XOXO
