WHERE I GREW UP

[@Ab74by]

As a non american it's really cool seeing different places other than the typical big cities !

[@ashbrooke]

Aw that’s so cool. Thank you ❤️

[@ireneesperante8137]

Was about to say the same thing!!

[@wendita7]

Yes i have so many questions lol , its like im watching a movie where the kid go to school in their bikes is so strange for me

[@MakeupbyAliciaE]

It’s sad that our kids are growing up in a generation where kids can’t go and explore by themselves and be safe. Hearing your story reminds me of the good old days.

[@maymaylovesyou15]

Girl when you whipped out that back handspring I was like YES SISTER!!!!

[@marianafigueiredosilva9989]

I'm an european and I find rural america so interesting! Cities are great but these small places in the middle of nowhere are the best! Loved the video!

[@ashbrooke]

I forgot to mention that my favorite thing is being outside at night because you can see so many stars

[@crystalrucas7120]

Oh I love it!!! And the all the new edits! 1) you forgot to talk about walking down to the “bamboo”. 2) jackass remake videos on ice days. 3) backroads and being air born in the montero. PS- If you jumped off the house we could’ve made it into a cradle. And...100% sure you bleached my hair. Love you, miss you and proud of you! ❤️

[@KaylieHubbard]

I remember cheering at the Bearcat Field too!! I went to high school in Dublin but I live in Utah now. It's so fun seeing all these old familiar buildings! I LOVED the Peach and Melon carnival when I was in middle and high school ;)

[@kaitlyngeorge7205]

this video is awesome!!!! my dad grew up in DeLeon & went to the old high school... he’s actually the reason I subscribed to you! our dads know each other and are friends on facebook & my dad told me I should subscribe to you!!! 🤣 I’m so glad I did too! my grandma actually still lives in Gorman, and every time I visit her I hope to run into you!! 😋 also, you are an inspiration to me... you work so hard & accomplish amazing things!! I love NYC & one of my goals is to live there someday!

[@jamesma8209]

Kaitlyn George this is so sweet! Cool story! I hope you hear back!

[@danijane2819]

Your grandmama’s accent is everything!! Loved this video :)

[@yodyiamsudjaitham372]

And I love your hometown, it’s like in the American movies and this is how I pictured how life of an American should be. It’s so antique and cozy and it seems like a very peaceful place to grow up !

[@hailsy04209]

It's a lovely town! I love there. I'm a senior at the new highschool this year!

[@t4health527]

I loved this video!!!! Ryan's hometown is next :)

[@ashbrooke]

I think we definitely should do that :)

[@Ragtrendsblog]

Haha you know it’s small when you can take a golf cart to tour the city! So cute!

[@georgia1996100]

• Your grandma looks SOOO young 😵 • “Ahhh my water fell”... hahahaha I really laughed then (it indeed was like you were a mom to be whose water broke haha) and also when you couldn’t get off the roof 😂😂 • Wow you were REALLYYYY blonde 😳 • I find nothing wrong with your eyebrows 🤔 • LOVE your cheerleading skills 😍 Always jealous of those cause here we don’t even have cheerleading 😒 • You and your sisters are IDENTICAL • The ending’s SOO cuteeee 💛 PS: I LOVED this video, you described such a great childhood, it makes me wanna go back being a kid 😭😭

[@ashbrooke]

Haha I love all of this! I know what you mean. After I watched the video I was like aww I just want to spend one more day as a kid 😭

[@donnabowker1372]

Ryan “I still pants you” 😂😂😂

[@Pumpkintiti]

Thanks for sharing. This was fun to see how you grew up in a small town. There wasn't much to do, but you guys need the best of it. Nostalgic memories

[@gurmeetg7693]

So basically you and the twins are actually triplets lol!

[@itsivymiha]

Love how you’re telling us all the stories ahh amazingly perfect video xx

[@sarahdarby765]

Holy moly I didn't realize you grew up in DeLeon! I bet you know all my family that lives there. Such a small world and this makes you so much more relatable to me lollll

[@jaycelynncinara5281]

Awh your grandma literally has the cutest accent ever every time I see her in a vlog she just makes me smile! Love you and your family Ashley!

[@ashbrooke]

She is the SWEETEST

[@Ceecee123]

I was missing you posting more than once a week so I was excited to see this one. What a cute video! Thanks for sharing your memories with us, Ashley!

[@mdback81]

I mean I knew we had similar childhoods but it was the exact same. Hanging out on the roof, meeting friends at the tree, packing a bag & staying out until dinner, hanging out in a parking lot & the same high school colors. #twins

[@gabsan77]

I loved! You should do Ryan's story!

[@LipsticksandLattes]

omg I loveddddd this video! so cute

[@ritarita9427]

One of the best video you've done so far. Although your hometown is small but it's still looks like a good place to grow up. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Ashley, you are wonderful, beautiful in and out, inspiring person. And please do Ryan's hometown video as well. Greetings from Lithuania.

[@yodyiamsudjaitham372]

The work that you put in this video, I LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ WE APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH !

[@hrissyvp]

This is probably one of my favourite videos of yours. I loved seeing your hometown (I also grew up in a really small town). Also, you were such a cool girl (I mean, you still are) and it was so much fun hearing about little Ashley.

[@sharonakaufman]

I just LOVE grandma Shirly!

[@KatG23]

This is so cool! Love the small town vibes. I also lived in a small TX town as a kid but I didn't do anything lol. Thanks for sharing so much about you!

[@chelseasmallwood7789]

Loved this video! I can’t believe how tiny the town was you grew up in! So much fun to see such American type towns :)

[@ninalyre]

oh my gosh, this was the funniest thing i've ever watched! loved the stories! it's nice to get to know your past, after following your channel for years now.

[@oldaccount.1486]

Ashley, this was fucking AMAZING. I enjoyed every minute of this video. There were so many unexpected pleasantries. YOU really bReAk the mold! I loved seeing you flip, climb on the roof (Hahahaha), at the carnival, and point out that huge green vehicle (?) when you went to get corn dogs. All the animation, various shots, outfits, and stories really show how beautiful of a person you really are. I have a lot of respect for you. You created an entirely NEW life for yourself. You’re brave, beautiful, and a BOSS. 💋

[@elelentakis]

Great video Ash! Thanks for sharing such personal memories. I just love your family (particularly your grandma’s) southern accents! 🤗😘

[@kristinamarie3230]

This was the best video ever! It brought me back to my childhood! Because we are the same age, and grew up in very similar towns, we did a lot of the same things! My home town where I grew up was even called DeLeon Springs, Florida. So similar!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@amandaprince425]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how stunning you look at the carnival!?💗 Loved this video, you can tell how much your family means to you. Also the twins look so much like you in the photos you showed at the end!!

[@feniameramveliotaki153]

Ashley, o m g !! i love this vlog. i can see that you really take our advices for your content and do it so so so much nicer. i really loved it !! congrats

[@xObiianca88Ox]

[@BLXYDE]

Ashley is so funny at telling stories LOL

[@xObiianca88Ox]

BLADE omg hiii lol and yes i agree! Fave youtuber 🙌🏻

[@matildaburston2178]

I swear you look younger now than you did in high school and its honestly impressive hahah loved this xxx

[@darienanay1897]

Omg this is so cute! Lol we have a lot in common... from small town life, to sports we played, my little sister is 13 going into 8th grade lol really liked this video. Love that you are pursuing your big city dream!! I’m not there yet but close. So inspiring xx

[@cindyhatch3446]

Ashley I love this video of you going back home. I love that you were a tom boy when you were young and all the stories you shared. It reminded me when I was young too...before cell phones and computers... xxoo

[@jelenazeljak9279]

Grandma Shirley is gorgeous!! 😍😍😍

[@kaitlynmanske4952]

I am seriously cracking up over all of your childhood stories! SO funny!! Love this video idea!

[@Jasbindarkaur]

This was such an amazing video! It's so nice to learn more about you and where you grew up.

[@rolloffilm]

I loved watching this video! I'm British and love seeing the different parts of the states in vlogs etc... the editing was amazing and I am loving the drone footage as well. Really excited to see a Texas vlog too. Finally, botox or no botox you are beautiful regardless and you should do what makes you feel the best. xx

[@15EmilyThomas]

They would use me for my trampoline hahah

[@ashbrooke]

Anyone with a trampoline was a hot commodity in the neighborhood

[@StephJazmin]

This is so cool and genuine I loved it so much! It’s so good to see a video and it not be New York or LA. Also, I don’t think you have an accent so it must have been the vibe of the video but I swear I could hear a very Texas accent out of you at some points!

[@erinkelligher6313]

This is so cute! Love the filming & editing. Lots of great shots 👌🏻

[@kathleenswenning9915]

I loved this video it was so great to get to know how you grew up ! I feel like I know you so much better! Great job!

[@sandro3390]

What a wonderful family, what cheerful childhood memories, happy for you!

[@jnws8380]

[@rubykhapong]

Your grandmama is gorgeous 😀

[@tanyakarazan8094]

[@linesch2569]

This is so nice to watch! It makes me nostalgic for my own little home town. I should really make a video like that just for myself to watch back later :) buuut I can't do cool drone shots like that ;) awww and you looked so much like your sisters when you were little!

[@foraluckygirl]

this is the sweetest video, thank you for sharing with us

[@emilymorrison-rhoades2295]

I grew up in Decatur, TX so I can totally relate to growing up in a small Texas town!! My sister currently lives in FiDi in NYC and I live in Dallas but am moving there in the next couple months! and we have "reunion" every year which is the last full week in July every year, I wonder if its the same carnival!!

[@georgia1996100]

Just saw the notification and immediately opened the video.. I’ve been waiting for this one, it’s always inspiring to see from where someone starts.. you are my favorite, love youuu 😍😍😍

[@Laliter0]

you should totally do a podcast!! and talk about you moving to new york first jobs and struggles at the big city or just a vid haha

[@radayeskanderov1617]

Thank you for sharing with something really close to you , your home town, your family 🤗❤️ And you can tell right away how kind and good they are 💙 P.s. Ashley you have very beautiful arms, could you show some your fav exercises how to build some strong arms like you have :)

[@Kmaqp]

Love the edit! Thanks for sharing this about you ❤️❤️

[@lauraannebwilson]

I love all the 'I remember when' stories, I'm literally in tears laughing because Ash says it so casually, slips it in like 'no big deal but I was punched in the head here'.

[@M-hf6qc]

I'm in love with your grandmother 😍 She's so sweet and soft spoken. Talk about the "Spice Girls Routine" I did the same with my cousin and sister for every family gathering, then perform it for them, lol.... 🤣

[@Erika_Fox]

I also grew up in a tiny village ... so LOVED this 🙌🏻 Great video girl xx

[@Ab74by]

Loved this video Ash ! You're home town looks so cute. It must of been overwhelming moving to NYC ! xx

[@ashbrooke]

It actually wasn’t! I love the best of both worlds :)

[@ashleapaige6060]

Ash this was so fun to watch! I loved it. your home town is smaller than mine haha

[@christinagarcia6405]

I'm from Beeville, Texas so I totally get it. I live in San Antonio now

[@pamelarapp4891]

Ashley has anyone ever told you you look like Jennifer Garner? Never realized it before but getting serious Jennifer Garner vibes in this video. So pretty!

[@kasiaklasinska2069]

definitely one of my favorite videos you’ve ever posted💛

[@MacAddictForever]

Quality of this video is amazing! So interesting watching where you grew up

[@missliz85]

Great video of your hometown! Love from Houston 💗

[@MSTiPPYx3]

How was it adjusting from such a small town to the big city? It’s so interesting seeing your hometown and hearing your stories. The twins look a lot like you.

[@maddieferrero4116]

Yup she’s always been a cutie pie ❤️

[@sandral5588]

What a beautiful video! Was so great hearing your stories. I’m not from the USA but I surprisingly related so much!! I’m about the same age as you, I remember spending entire weekends making up dance routines to the Spice Girls 😂. Also, your Grandmother is stunning, my Grandmas name was Shirley too! Thanks for giving us an insight into your life 😊

[@jasmine__1111]

wow the women in your family never age... geesshhh lucky. i love this so personal and welcoming thank u!

[@jovanapetrovic934]

This was so interesting! :) you dont get to see so much about smaller towns in the US... and it was cool getting to know you a bit better. One question - do you think you have lost your southern accent? Or does it still pop up here and there :) I live in the same smallish town I was born in the north of a very small country in Europe :) and I travel a lot, for work and pleasure but always come back and it always feels so warm and cosy - it's home :)

[@shailea00]

Girl! I remember when you came to prom in Hamilton (I commented this once before but this video brought back memz) but I think I was in junior high. But you went with a guy that went to the same church as me and my friends and I were so jealous of you because we thought he was soooo hot😂 and also I remember my friends and I seeing you at games when we played y’all (your blonde hair girl, it was the move back then). The footage of your track brings back some good junior high memories for sure lol loved this video!

[@adrianabarrientos4395]

Omg I loved this. Y’all should do one on Ryan’s life! Haha! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@nochannelvideos]

best where I grew up video I have ever seen! The stories were so funny xD

[@melissavasquez4131]

WOW so many things I never knew about you! I loved this video thanks so much for sharing!! xoxo

[@kimlu_dlc3852]

loveeeedddd thisssss!!!!! it was soo nice seeing where you grew up.... feels like I know you a little more now... lol😃 btw you and the twins definitely have the same face.

[@christalynn73]

I loved this video!!

[@JessBrine]

This was sooo cute! Loved it!

[@satyanunez3604]

I can’t imagine growing in such a small town but I loved the video (btw you looked exactly like your sisters when you were little)

[@sweetpeace5]

You’ve come a long way, baby!

[@sweetscorpion27]

I want to watch a Laguna Beach version of your highschool life, thank you !
