This time last year I.....

....fill in the blank. I was in pain about this time last year!  haha!  I had hurt my back in late November, and it was not one of those things where you just go to the chiropractor and he makes you better right there on the spot.  This was a long waiting game of when-will-Ashley's-back-feel-better.  Thankfully I had a wonderful husband and family to help me during that time, and I am still constantly grateful for how mindful they are of me!

We were also having as much fun as possible with family.  It was the first time I had met my sister-in-law, Melinda, since she had just returned from her mission in Croatia; Scott's parents were out here for an extended stay; as were Tyler, Rachel, and Jackson.  It was such fun that I just went back through my camera and found these pictures.  Check 'em out: 

Meeting Melinda for the first time with Karen, Amy, and Becca.  Love you girls!

I got to go to my first Jazz game last year during Christmas time.  It was so fun!

I'm so excited for this holiday season, and can't wait to see what fun times we have!!!  Gotta make sure the camera is ready for all the craziness cause as Dad would say we're going to "have fun stormin' the castle!"
