Today is Margaret's birthday. When I married Matt, I never knew I would gain such a great sister and close friend. She is supportive, loving and so so fun. I feel like I've been around Matt's family forever and Margaret feels like a sister I grew up with. I'm so blessed to have her in my life.
A few things about Margaret:
-She loves sweet and sour candy, not chocolate. If we buy candy together, I buy M&M's and she buys Skittles. She likes gummi bears, runts, gobstoppers, twizzlers and other sugary treats. She and Matt are both like this.
-Margaret is the most efficient person I know. If she's not using something she gives it away. Her place is always neat and tidy. I'm such a pack rat and I've benefited from Margaret's give-aways before. I'm always impressed how she can just let go of something. (these are trivial things of course like a purse, jewelry or shoes) I always doubt myself when I'm getting rid of something and then wish I had it later. Marg does this so confidently and her closet is always so neat.
-She also immediately throws trash away. Example, at Christmas she takes off the tags of clothes, throws away the boxes and wrapping and immediately hangs the new item in her closet. Matt is this way too.
-Marg is fun to shop with. I shop a lot with Matt and while he is wonderful to go to the mall with, he's still a guy. Marg always says what I want to hear. She makes me feel good about buying that shirt and earrings, because they're super cute, but at the same time, she'll logically question whether I need a 4th pair of cute underwear. We always have a blast being girly together.
-Margaret loves animals, especially the dogs in her life, Emmy, Rambo, Stevie and Wil. I remember being so jealous when she bought Emmy. I loved beagles. Emmy will always be Marg's first child...haha. And Steve and Wil are certainly her niece and nephew dogs. She sends them sweet presents and always has a treat for them. They love snuggling with her when she visits. Steve especially loves it because that means Steve sleeps with Marg. It's been that way ever since Steve was a puppy. Emmy taught Steve how to bark and howl like a beagle too. It's pretty cute.
-Margaret likes caramel cake, being on the river, Tyson, sushi, Diet Dr. Peppers, pajamas, movies, dogs, naps, mushrooms, and her family.
Marg, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and I wish I was there to share it with you. I'm there in spirit!! Love, Ashley

What a great gal. And that's my first name... Margaret. It's nice to meet another one that's no 85 years old. :)
