Ashley is sweeter than the ice cream served at the Dairy Queen she and Rick first met at. She has an unmatched personality that can draw anyone to her, and she is a great friend to many. She has a great sense of humor too, and she has been making Rick laugh since that party they first hung out at.
Ashley is Rick’s better half too, and she brings out the best in him every single day. She is someone he is so grateful to have in his life, and he loves reflecting on all the memories and special moments they have shared together.
“She balances me out,” Rick said. “Where I get excited easily, she is quick to settle me down and talk some sense into me.”
They are like yin and yang. They have a magnetism that keeps them balanced, and Rick just loves being around his wife every single day.
He knows her patients enjoy having her as a nurse as well. She has a way of helping people feel comfortable in the hospital and she connects with her patients on a very personal level.
Outside of work, Ashley connects with her friends and is the most heartfelt and compassionate individual you will meet. She loves having fun in life and she loves to love on others.
Speaking of loving on others, there is no better mother Rick could ask for for his children than Ashley. From her accepting her now-stepson and creating a special bond with him to raising their three other children with a whole lot of love and acceptance, she is there for all four of her kids each and every day.
“Ashley is great at building trust with the kids,” Rick said. “She continues to create fun moments with them as they get older and are starting their lives.”
Those moments might include throwing snowballs at Ryan’s face or taking them all to the beach, but for all four of them, as long as they are around Ashley, they are happy.
Rick feels the same way as well, as that is why he fell in love with her in the first place. He could always get along with her, and he always felt drawn to her personality and mindset.
“Ashley can do anything she puts her mind to,” Rick said. “If you tell her it can’t be done, she will find a way to do it.”
Ashley’s resilience and never-give-up attitude have carried her far in life, and they are just two of the many reasons why people look up to her.
People also look up to Ashley because she lives life to the fullest and loves spending time outdoors… and she loves getting a good nap in too. She is just amazing all the way around, and a woman like her cannot be replicated.
“Ashley, I’ve loved you almost from the first time I saw you. We have literally built a great life together and I wouldn’t want to take this journey with anyone else.” – Rick
