Gosh Dang It

I love this boy & I love being married. 

we spent the four of july weekend down in Salina Canyon at cameron's family property. 

we drove down after work on friday. by the time we got to the property it was pitch dark. we turned our headlights, and with the help of cameron's grandma, set up our tent in the dark. 

we love our tent. we have cots and lots of space (thanks mom & dad!)

by the time our tent was set up, our car battery had died. opps :) 

we woke up before the sun on saturday, 4-wheeled to the lake, and spent the morning fishing. we didn't get any bites the entire weekend, but we got to spend lots of time chatting by the lake. 

later that day we took a 4-wheel ride throughout the little valley near grandma & grandpa horrock's property. cameron took me to the tree he carved our names into for the first time. he carved our names in it on july 4, 2010. who would have guessed we'd be married three years later? I am so glad that we are. 

we had a great dinner and cuddled around the campfire. we talked about church & politics with his grandparents & parents. my two favorite topics. we made super gooey s'mores and saw a satellite in the starry sky. it was a perfect night.

the next morning we went fishing, rode 4 wheelers in the rain, and packed up to go home. it was a great weekend with the best boy. 

Grateful

I am so grateful to know who I am and to have the gospel in my life. I am grateful for my temple marriage and for the wonderful man I share it with.
There is so much happiness in living the gospel.

Cameron & I spoke in church last sunday. I spoke on obedience and he spoke on the priesthood. It was our introduction to the ward, and was so fun. A true miracle happened that morning. Our internet hadn't been working the entire week. I went to my parent's house to write my talk, but forgot to print it. I came home after taylorsville dayzz and realized I hadn't printed my talk. Our printer is a wi-fi printer, and without our internet was completely useless. I couldn't find the the cord to just connect it to my computer, so, at midnight, I began handwriting my talk and at 2am I gave up. I had only written a page and a half of the talk. I still had four pages left. I decided I would just wake up early, drive to herriman to print my talk, and make it on time to 9 o'clock church.

I woke up four hours later and got ready to drive to my parent's house. For some reason, I had the feeling I should try to print my talk. I got my laptop out and low and behold, my wi-fi worked for long enough to print my talk.

I sobbed. I am so grateful for miracles, even the small, silly ones.

Our talks went well. We have a wonderful ward and are very welcomed.

The stake president was visiting our ward that morning. It was so great to meet him. After hearing us speak, he invited us to talk in stake conference in the fall.

Let's hope my printer works then :)
