From the very start.

Just a little history of who I am, where i come from, and what my story is. I am Ashley Elizabeth Carlson, 20 years young, born and raised in good ol sandy Utah. I was blessed to be born into a family that was/is members of the LDS church(or as the world knows us, Mormons) My short life has had many ups and downs, trials and moments of true joy. From those trials great blessings have been given... One of which, My missionary... Elder Cade N Mangelson, the man of my dreams my prince charming, the light of my life, my world, my heart, my everything. I know i know, statistics prove..... blah blah blah, only 3% work out... i have heard it all. Maybe we will be the exception, maybe we wont.. BUT i do know for a fact that out of this experience much growth will come, it will be an experience i will never regret. I do feel in my heart that we will be part of the percent that works. Cade and I have dated for almost 5 1/2 years, a little young to be falling in love right? we always said to each other "when ya know, ya know, ya know?" love has no limits on age. Whether you be 14, or 95... it is a feeling one can not deny. Anyways, this blog is going to be about our story. A diary of the two years adventure, how i have grown to love my self, my lord, my savior Jesus Christ, my family, and my missionary. How the gospel has come to help us all grow closer together, and how to pass the two years as positively as possible.
