Birthday Pictures

Sorry I overloaded everyone's feed tonight. I am in heaven. No school and three days off from work means that I can take & edit pictures all day long....

On Sunday Cameron and I skipped out on the third hour of church (cut me some slack...it was my 21st birthday, I had to be somewhat rebellious). Instead, we drove to wheeler farm and hiked into the snowy forest for a few family pictures. Cameron got me a tripod for my big day. (I had a tripod once, but it fell over one day with my camera on it and it lost all my trust....so this is a slowly learning to trust deal).

Anyways...we set the self timer on the camera and I ran into each shot. It was super fun. It started getting really snowy, and the pictures got super foggy. I was worried about getting everything all wet so we went back home, but, for the little time we were there, I think we got some fun shots :)

ps....I have a strange feeling santa is bringing me a camera remote for christmas, so hopefully cameron and I can have more of these impromptu mini sessions together :)

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.

this is Stockton. He's our baby & we love him dearly. 

Date Night

L

Cam cam & went out on a little post-sick date night. Now that we live on the east side we're close to lots of new things, like Mimi's. The Mimi's in murray is literally 5 minutes away from our little home. After a little convincing we (me convincing him that it wasn't just a girl place) ended up at Mimi's for a late night dinner. We both had chicken & laughed. 

It's weird...date night is SO much better when it doesn't include a door step scene. We just go home together and snuggle on the couch.  

Marriage is the best. 

lucky number 7.

Guys...I'm getting married in seven days.

Let the freak out being. 

the temple.

I was blessed to have the opportunity to receive my endowments last Saturday.
I went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and had the most amazing time.

The temple is perfect.

The gospel is true.

and I am so happy. 

Six Months

Today, April 23rd, my sweet boy has been home six months.

SIX MONTHS.

It's been the best six months of my life. I am so grateful to have my best friend home and to know that with in a matter of days I will be sealed to him for all eternity. The Lord has blessed me far beyond what I deserve and I could not be more grateful.

I will never be able to say this enough...he was so worth the wait.

Afternoon Golf

Cameron and I went golfing, yet again. We played 9 holes at mulligans and had a B-L-A-S-T.

Cameron scored a 48.

So did I.

That's right, girlfriend can hang. 

I'm SO happy to have my old man home. I missed him so much. 

Wisdom teeth weekend

I completed a right of passage this weekend - I got my wisdom teeth out. 

I'm a bit older than  most people are when they get their wisdom teeth out, but I was nervous nonetheless.

Cam cam took me to the dentist early Friday morning. We checked in and then they took us back into the "operating" room. Cameron stayed with me as they put me out. 

When I woke up, I was in a different room with a big blanket over me. I started crying immediately and Cameron calmed me down. Apparently they had done the surgery and it was time for me to go home.

Anesthesia is weird stuff. 

Cameron drove me home and then went to get my prescriptions. He came home with flowers and pudding. 

I spent the rest of the day on the couch with my flowers. That boy spoils me. 

My surgery was weird. Neither of my parents took me - instead my husband took care of me. That just still seems so weird. He was so sweet to me and took such great care of me.

On Saturday I was feeling much better. Swollen & everything I went to the DI and got some great deals. I was on a mission for cute shorts that were long enough for garments. 

When Cameron got home from work he took me golfing at mulligans. We had a blast teasing each other and working on our swings. After our golfing adventure we stopped at cold stone for ice cream then drove to our  new neighborhood to stalk our grocery stores.
