No shot in hell would I have thought that when you started working at LIVS a mere 10 months ago we would become as close as we did. I guess God had a different plan for us because I couldn’t imagine my life without you. You are one of my best friends and I am so lucky to have you.

Thank you for being there for me. Every little problem I have, I know you will always be waiting to help me through it. No matter how big or small my problem is, I know I can count on you.

Thank you for being my rock. If I have a stupid idea, you will always tell me (or do it with me). If I make a mistake, you always help me to figure out what went wrong. And if I just need a shoulder to cry on, you’re there with a box of tissues.

Thank you for being a smarty pants. Cornell doesn’t know what they’re in for by accepting you. You are going to be such a great vet and I can’t wait to hopefully work alongside you one day.

Thank you for being my partner in crime. If I need a night out, you are always right there next to me, taking a shot with me. If I need a quiet girls night, you’re always asking what kind of wine I want while I pick the movie. If I need to just get away, you’re either taking off work or making me take off work.

Thank you for being one of the strongest people I know. With everything you’ve been through, you are still standing tall. You are truly amazing. You’re working towards your goals and I know your momma would be so proud of you, I know I am. I’m there for anything you need and I’m always going to be right by your side.

Ashley, I just want to say thank you. You are truly one of my best friends and I’m so glad you decided to work at LIVS. I can’t imagine where my brain would be if you didn’t work by my side for the last 10 months. Thank you for being my rock, my partner in crime, and one of the strongest people I know. You are truly amazing. I love you future Dr. Newman!
