Dearest Butterflies,
Hello loves! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted a journal entry. My apologies; been so busy lately. Just wanted to send you guys a quick update!
As you’ve seen from my twitter updates… I’ve had a very fun but messy past couple of weeks getting slimed. Ohh, to be in the Nickelodeon family– never a dull moment, that’s for sure! I’m sure a lot of you guys have already know what I was a part of. Not really hard to “figure it out”. hehehehe.

Check out the rest of the blog under the jump!

This week was pretty insane. Last Friday, we took my dad to the doctor and found out that he had a 90% blockage in the main artery of his heart. So this week has been spent with him at the hospital. He had open heart bypass surgery on Monday morning, and after a very scary and worrisome few hours, his doctor came out of the operating room to tell me and mom that the surgery was successful. He spent a couple days in the ICU, and they moved him to a normal room yesterday… And the best news of all? We’re going to pick him up from the hospital today! He’s coming home. We’re so grateful that the surgery was successful. It was a very stressful few days, but we’re happy to report that dad is doing well and looking forward to coming home and eating non-hopsital food. (Seriously, why is hospital food always so gross?)

Aaaaand in other news, in the midst of all this craziness, I am now sick. So I am drinking tea and sucking throat lozenges as I type this journal entry. I feel like I got hit by a bus. And a train. And a car. At the same time. But it’s all good.

Before I go pick up dad, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone at St. Bernardine’s hospital for taking such good care of my dad. Dr. Malki and Dr. Ruiz, thank you for everything. You guys are incredible. We couldn’t have asked for better doctors or nurses to take care of him!

And to all the friends and family that called and texted constantly over the past few days to check up on dad & to make sure that mom & I were okay– thank you for all of your love, support, and prayers. It means more than you know. We love you guys.

Alright kiddos. I’m off to pick up dad.

xoxo,
Ash

Ashley Argota flew all the way across the country to spend the weekend with friends, family and do charity work! The Nickelodeon actress surprised her best friend Raini Rodriguez at an event her brother, Rico Rodriguez, was being honored. Raini updated her official Tumblr with how she felt about the surprise:

My best friend, Ashley flew in from New York to come and surprise me at the Power of Youth event on Saturday. And boy did she. I’m shocked I didn’t figure it out, I’m usually good at stuff like that, but I was so busy these past couple of weeks, that I never noticed my mom texting my best friend. Im also bad at reacting to surprises, but I’m sure the look of confusion and excitement was a sight to see. I didn’t realize how badly I missed her until she was standing there and then it hit me. We had the best time reconnecting and catching up with our lives. Special thanks goes out to her mom and my mom, for texting each other and being great secret keepers, but now I will always be suspicious of them!

After Power of Youth, Ashley also hit up the Ronald McDonald Charity event and the Puss in Boots movie premiere! What a busy weekend!
