Afternoons

I came home from college today and decided to work out in my sports bra and listen to

madonna way too loudly.

I'm really cool these days.

If You Just Can't Get Enough of ME

http://thecollegiateelephantintheroom.blogspot.com/

This is the link to my highly opinionated political blog. If you are interested in that kind of stuff or are just browsing my blog...check it out. I love politics, but didn't feel right flooding this sweet blog with my controversial opinions.



*Be warned...these are my opinions and they are not sugar coated. I am a Republican and if that's not your cup of tea, you may want to skip my new bloggy. However, if you dare, I would love hearing different views and ideas. I'm a bi-partisan politian (aren't they all) or atleast will claim to be if it means you'll read my thoughts.


That is all.

Those Pants (Cameron Style)

See those pants that Cameron is sporting? Today he informed me that when he tried those pants on the other day they didn't fit. He is upset...Secretly, I am ecstatic.

The whole time he has been gone I have been wishing he would gain like 20 or 30 pounds. He could use it :)

Looks like things are going my way.

Email Dates

Once in a blue moon cameron and I get to have an email date.
An email date consists of me pressing the refresh button on my computer all day until cam finally emails "I'm on." Then we get to have forty five minutes of emailing back and forth. We mostly talk about how much we can't wait for october and how much we love another, but occasionally we talk politics, family, work, investigators, ect...
These dates are the best. I NEVER appreciated conversations with him like I do now. I would give anything to talk to him face to face while cuddling on the couch. anything... but these mornings where we can email back and  forth and tease one another are a pretty good substitute. I love that boy.

"I wish we could do this all the time too! I love you too sweetie. Don't ever change your mind ok?
 I'm cheered up now :-) I got to talk to you :-):-) I sure love you pretty girl :-) And mothers day will be here quick! And October right after :-)

Love you too baby! :-)"

He has a thing for smiley faces and sure knows how to make me feel special.
I love (elder) Cameron Trujillo.

A Few of My Favorite Things From Today

My new AUTOGRAPHED No Apology book by mr. Mitt Romney. Thank you Mr & Mrs Ulch. As if you weren't already some of my favorite people ever.
My slimfast shake and calcium chew in the morning.
My new olive green capris...now the trick, figure out what to wear them with.
My email date with Cameron today. An actual conversation. It was so nice.
My growing hair. It's getting longer and I'm pleased.
My sweet brother who got me chapstick because my lips were hurting and who watches Glee with me on lazy afternoons. Seriously, I have the best brother.
My flash cards. Here I come bio exam.
My trip to the DI...I went to the mall to buy new pants (that actually fit) but could not bring myself to spend 60 bucks on one pair of pants. I retreated and some how ended up at the DI. I never got my pants...but I did get some cute, cheap shorts. I am such a tight wad, I know.

...and later tonight, turkey chili (thank you chel) and the biggest loser. Two more of my favorite things to end an excellent day.

This One's For Lex

As the cliche quote that fits this situation most perfectly goes "No one ever said it would be easy, only that it would be worth it."
Lex, some days will be hard. But I'm not going to dwell on that. It will be worth it. I can promise you that.
There is no feeling like the one that accompanies a letter in the mail box. Or better yet, an envelope full of pictures. There is nothing like knowing the man you love more than anything and want to spend forever with is changing people's lives. People will tell you that you can't. They will insist that he will change and will remind you that two years is a long time (as if we could forget). They will be negative, but they will never have the experiences you and josh will have. They will never have the kind of love that comes from being apart or the appreciation a simple letter teaches. They will never be challenged in the way that you will be, and they will never have the blessings that come from those challenges. Lex, I promise you waiting will be worth it. I will be here for you every step of the way, as will Josh, your family, and of course, our savior.
True love is when two people put God before themselves. It is without a doubt the greatest sacrifice I have made thus far in my life, but I am so blessed and so loved because of it.
Remember how blessed you are to have a love worth missing. I love you girl and I know you can do this.

Moving on Up

My parents signed on a home today and it's the most beautiful home I've ever seen.

Front porch, formal dining, a study...the best part? My walk in closet.

I'm in love.

It'll be finished in august and we can't wait.

Haha too bad I'll only live in it for a few months.
