Holy cow, I am so sorry Becca! What in the world did you do? I just found out I have back issues too and it is no fun. As I type this I am on a heating pad :(. I'll come and keep ya company by joining you on the floor!
Feel better!

Dr. Berven is the best, you'll be in great hands. I'm so sorry back problems are the worst. Take it easy!

Isn't Sister Bervin INCREDIBLE! I love her.
I agree. I must see you soon. Because, yes, I am in Florida. Girls Camp? I would love to. But I have no clue when it is. I thought about finding the stake YW president at seminary graduation the other night to ask her, but then I realized I had no idea who the stake YW president was. I am so out of touch with Tampa Stake. Time to reintroduce myself to them. So I just might join you for some girls camp fun. Keep me updated.
And I hope you are feeling better because back pain is no fun. True story. Peace out.
