A Little About Me

So I'm Ashley :)  I'm a 21 year old Arkansan currently living at home (I know, you're jealous) with my mom, step-dad, and 4 furry puppy siblings.

I have 1 human sibling, a sister.  We're technically half-sisters, having the same dad, but we were never raised to think about it like that....we're sisters.  She's 2 months shy of being 4 years older than me, but she skipped a grade (smartypants!) so we were 5 grades apart in school.  She's currently 8 months pregnant with my soon to be gorgeous niece and I couldn't be more ecstatic!!

I graduated high school in 2008, went to a private college for a year that was an hour away from home.  Thankfully I met my bestest guy friend there...if I hadn't I'd be lost.  I thought I wanted to be a business teacher, boy was I wrong.  Teaching....not for me, too much headache!!   I moved to Phoenix at the start of what should have been my sophomore year.  It pretty much saved me.  I took a year off from school, mainly because of out-of-state tuition costs and not knowing what I wanted to do.  I found my perfect major and school during that time.  I know with almost 100% certainty that I want to be an athletic trainer.  It combines my obsession of sports, with my need to "mom" people, with my love of anatomy & kinesiology.  Currently, I'm not going to school.  I have some medical problems that I need to get under control before I devote more time and money into an education.  I'm sure I'll go into detail later.

At the moment I'm drawing a blank on anything else to include in this "all about me" post, I'm sure I'll have a couple of selfish moments during the course of time, so I'll make sure to post them occasionally ;)
