These are the Moments





Chapter Eight

And these are the moments,
I thank God that I'm alive.
And these are the moments,
I remember all my life.
I've got all I've Waited for,
And I could not ask for me.

Three days passed and Ashley was never far from my thoughts. Though he had yet to call, I was filled with an almost girlish excitement about what the phone call would bring.

Finally, on Friday, my phone call came through. Ashley and I made plans to go to a small carnival together the next day. I had trouble sleeping that night so I went for a run at six and did some shopping that morning.

I picked out the perfect outfit. Dark jean capris, a sporty tank top and new sandals. I was ready by two-fifteen and Ashley arrived shortly thereafter.

He handed me a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers, similar to those sitting next to me, when he came to the door.

I remember being very nervous beforehand, but as soon as I saw Ashley, I felt very comfortable and my butterflies disappeared.
