I really should write on here more often. But sometimes I feel like my life just doesn't keep up with all you guys that have kids and take sweet pictures all the time. But hey, I guess for the few of you who might care I'll just give a little update.

Christmas festivities were pretty awesome. It was really nice to have our first Christmas together and spoil each other a little. Then of course we went over to his mom's and got spoiled by her too. She bought all the kids a Wii! (And we've been playing Mario ever since! :)





Lets see, after that came a pretty difficult time for my mom and her family. My grandma was supposed to come to Utah for our wedding in June but was diagnosed with stomach cancer that very week. They gave her 6-8 months I think and on January 24 she passed away. My mom has a really big family and so it was pretty hard for everybody and still seems kind of unreal. Anyways, I got to go home to MI for the funeral and to be there for my mom. It was great to see everyone and to also get to spend some time with the family.



Other than that, life is pretty normal. Work is going great for me, and I also might have a softball coaching opportunity this year. I'm still crossing my fingers for that!! Chris is in the middle of searching for a new job so we're crossing our fingers on that one too, that it doesn't take too long to find what he's looking for. We're doing great, trying to stay healthy by eating better and going to the gym. Props to Chris for losing 20 lbs in only three weeks!!

This weekend we're going to stay in Logan for Valentines Day. I dont have to work on Monday and after all the stress of the past month, I'm excited to get away for our first Valentines Day! On that note, I have the best husband ever and I cant believe how perfect we are together. I'm grateful for and undeserving of him at the same time.



Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Lots of love,
*Ashley*
