Love Never Ends.

One of my best friends, Ashlee Franks, is engaged. 
We all knew that she would be fairly soon, but you just can't prepare yourself for the excitement.

Ashlee is one of the kindest and most genuine friends that I know. 
Everyone that knows her loves her instantly.
She is one of those people that makes you want to be a better person and friend.
I know that I have been blessed by her.

As Ashlee told the story of her engagement, I couldn't help but tear up.
Connor, her fiance, built her engagement ring from white gold and smaller diamonds from each part of his family.
And the center stone, he bought to represent the start of their part of that family.
They demonstrate 1 Corinthians 13 daily.
And it is my prayer that they continue to grow stronger in their relationship for the rest of their lives.

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." 
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

 Planning, dress shopping, and everything. You and our friends have been so wonderful to me through my engagement and now it's your turn. 
Ashlee I am so excited to walk through this season of life with you and
Jeremy and I are secretly scheming a way to ensure that you and Connor end up in Nashville. 
We love you both.
