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 :)

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 :)

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. 

Sundays with Husband

driving to church

blurry kisses

Sundays are a wonderful day. They are the only day of the entire week that both cameron & I are off work. They are the only day that we get to spend every second together.

We love sundays.

Today was an especially great sunday.

Cam & I slept in until 10:30. I snuck away & made blue berry muffins for breakfast.

We ate muffins and cuddled. Then got ready for church.

We went to a dear friend's (Bri Hill) homecoming. I am so proud of her & her service. She is such a wonderful young lady and has so much going for her. I also got to see her parents whom I just adore. I look up to the Hill family in so many ways and am so grateful I have grown up so close to them.

After church we had dinner at cameron's dad's house. We laughed and ate great food. 

Now we're at home. Cameron is doing the dishes and we're about to cuddle & watch seinfeld.

I haven't blogged since I got married. I promise I'll post all about my wedding, honeymoon, and lovely apartment. Marrying cameron was the best decision I have ever made. He makes me happier than I could ever express. I am so happy to share a home & a life with such a wonderful man. God has blessed me with more than I deserve and I am so very grateful.

Newlywed life is great.
