Where in the world is the Birthday Girl?
In case you haven't been in touch with the Shontz Family lately, here is a quick update:
This adventuresome crew of five moved to Switzerland for Anthony's work last year, shortly after the arrival of little Matthew and less than two years after Brooke & Andrew joined the family! Ashley was her easy-going self, excited for the fun and the new experience awaiting her. Their stint in the land of neutrality, the alps, and banking has been a whirlwind of fun - they love it there and have immersed themselves fully in their Euro experience, seeing all the sites and forging lifelong friendships. They look forward to another year in Switzerland - coming home Summer 2009 - but they miss their family and friends so much. Perhaps the "missing" influenced their Christmas travel plans; they will be home in the states for a few weeks in December/January and hope to see anyone they can catch while they are in Utah! As you see from the pics, their kiddos are adorable. Andrew & Brooke are a pair of busy toddlers coming up on 3 years old in a few months. And Matthew is a happy one year old. Anthony is keeping busy at work and loving the mountainous terrain! And Ashley is Ashley - soaking up life, loving her family & friends, and yes....turning thirty! For more on their adventures - check out their blog!
30 and Flirty and Thriving
I have been searching for days for a good digital photo that captured our memorable Bee Sisters Reunion Weekend. I have not been able to find it, but will send it when I do. Happy 30th Birthday, my dear "Bee" sister! You are truly a "golden" old friend. I think we met when you were just 14! And, then, we got to live together in Provo, and the rest is history! That's a long time to be friends. Happy Birthday, my friend. Here's to another fabulous 30. I'm so glad you were born!
Love you,
Whit (Morgan)

Things I love about you
Happy Birthday Ashley!
I am so glad to have met you here in
I love that you served a full time mission. It builds such a strong foundation in the Gospel. Also, there is something wonderful about a person who has had the opportunity to devote so much time and energy in the service of others.
I love that you are always seeking to be positive and energetic about life. Your joy seems to burst out of you and bless everyone around you. You are a shining example of the kind of happiness that people look for their whole lives. You have a special ability to lift the people around you no matter how unacquainted you may be with them.
I love that you are a real person. You may not have perfected everything by age 30 but you are striving to be your very best. You are doing amazing things with your family and yourself and it shows. You are a genuine person with your sights set on the important things in life. You care.
You have, no doubt, done many amazing things in your first 30 years. I can only imagine the lives you'll touch and change each year you add to your already beautiful and successful life. Way to go!
Thank you for giving us all a reason to celebrate. I wish you the very best!

Ashleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!
I'm so glad that I can say Happy Birthday to you! You are a special person, and I'll always remember you for being one of those people in my life who helped me feel cool. I'll never forget singing "Nearer My God to Thee" on the beach in California (road trip to Chelsea's wedding)and dancing to "It's Raining Men. As you have gone on to raise your amazingly cute family and live such a life of adventure (your pictures of Europe amaze me), I can't help but marvel at what a strong, vibrant, and valiant woman you are. Thanks for being my friend and calling me Higgy. I really hope I get a chance to see you again soon.
Love,
Beth Day

Happy Birthday Ashley
Happy 30th Ash!

Happy Birthday! I am so blessed to have you as my dear friend. You mean so very much to me and you've blessed my life in so many ways - lots of thoughts come to mind. Your encouragement through life's heartbreaks - you've helped me through some of my toughest days. Calling me at inspired moments. Chatting & laughing through the night until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. Being an optimist - I so admire your gift for not worrying. Loving me even when you know my lame weaknesses. Swapping thoughts and recommendations about favorite books and even attempting the occasional long distance book group with me - no book group will ever compare to my Ash! Admiring your toughness - climbing mountains or whooshing down them, moving across country with twins on the way, carting three kids around Europe - always up for any adventure! You've rejoiced with me, cried with me, laughed with me, wished & hoped with me. You've been there for so many of my very important moments - and always there in my moment of need, big and small. So often you are the sounding board and voice of reason that helps me find perspective and much desired calm. The greatest confidante and the dearest friend are you! I love you so much and wish I were there in Switz to treat you to a girls weekend or some free babysitting! I can't wait till you are home and less than six time zones away. Happy, Happy Birthday, dear friend. I am so glad you were born 30 years ago. Here's to the next 30 - I expect great things! Thanks for all that you are. Love you so much!
