Currently: sitting on my front porch grateful for all that I have. I love our little home. 

hello again

hello blog world!

it's been a very long time. I've been thinking about this blog lately - I think it's because it pops up on my "timehop" often. I thought I'd come back and say hello.

life with cameron is lovely. we have a happy house and have been blessed far beyond what we deserve.

I'll post pictures someday.

Sine I last posts we've both gained weight (me more than him), work full time, I've graduated college, he's transferred to the U to finish. We now have a dog & a cat and wonderful callings.

Life truly is so great. I'm excited to get back to blogging now that I have more time without school. here's a few pictures of our life as of late.

Remember? (this is a little scattered)

Remember how my missionary, now fiance, was gone for two years?
I can't even remember what that was like anymore.
It seems so natural for him to be home that I've almost forgotten he was ever even gone (almost).
I am so grateful that we were able to pick up right where we left off.
I am so blessed to be engaged to this amazing man who left me for two years.
I am so proud of all that he is and all he does to provide for our little family.
I am so happy. Words can not express the happiness surrounding our life together.
How is it possible for one person to be so happy and so lucky?
102 days until I am sealed my handsome man for all eternity. I can not wait.

Photo Re-Cap

Friday night Old Men's basketball. Shand and I went and watched our men play on Friday...And by watched, I mean we both sat there and talked. Our boys are pretty much best friends, and we are too. It's a win-win situation. They were by far the cutest men out there and we so much fun to watch. And cameron's calves...mmmm. I am one lucky girl. 

Cameron and his skinny tie/suit. I love Sundays. 

New hairrrrrs. 

Just some Sunday lovin'

Road trip to Layton with the parents. Wedding Saturdays are stressful, but they will be worth it. 

Abby did a fashion show for me and chels on Saturday. The fashion show was her stuffed cat in different outfits. She is such a creative little girl. I adore her. 

Silly kids

Joined the world of Snap Chat. (about three months late). Sometimes Ryan sends me facial pictures and I sneak them on my phone. 

Yesterday

I bought a wedding dress yesterday. It is nothing like I thought I'd buy, but it is absolutely perfect. 

There is so much happiness ahead.

I Owe You a Story

Blogging was so much easier when Cameron was gone. Maybe that's because I had nothing to do, so I had time to blog. The sad thing is, now my life really is blog-worthy and I have no time. What a cruel fate.

Here is a blog worthy story, and since Cameron is at work and it's saturday, I actually have time to blog. 

We got engaged last week. Just before my birthday. He was 3 days shy of being home two months. He absolutely surprised me. I went into work on Thursday morning, tired and grumpy, to find a big box on my desk. It had a bow and said "open me now." 

With it being so close to my birthday, I figured it was a birthday present from my friend Kristin and began to open it. Inside the box was another box, and another, and another. Finally I got to the bottom, there was a wrapped present. I unwrapped the present to find a little white picture book. 

The book was full of pictures of us from high school up until now...It was adorable. 

On the very last page was a picture of the temple and Cameron's proposal.

After I finished reading I figured out what was going on and turned back to the boxes to find a ring, then cameron came walking in and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

I said yes. 

I was completely in shock and shaking...He completely surprised me. I was SO sure we were getting engaged on my birthday - or christmas. Not at 8 o'clock on a Thursday morning at work. He did it, he surprised me and I am so impressed. My co-workers ran in and hugged me, then my boss told me to leave. Cameron and I went back to his house to have breakfast. It was such a sweet morning and such a great surprise. That night he took me to dinner at Bucca di Pepo (that's spelled so wrong - but you get the point) and we celebrated our first night as an engaged couple. 

It's still weird to call him my fiance, but I like it. We set the temple date back before we went to Hawaii but after we were ring-official Cameron called and requested my temple information.

We are so so so very excited.

I could not be happier.

20th birthday date

I turned 20 on Saturday. It was a great day and I was completely spoiled. Cameron came over super early in the morning to have breakfast with me and let me open my presents. Then he went to work and I spent the day with my lovely mother and chels.
As soon as Cameron got home I raced to his house and we drove downtown to go ice skating.
