Perfection

Our phone call was perfect. I'll elaborate tomorrow. I am so in love.

Because Nothing Says "Easter" Like New Baseball Caps

I got cameron a Red Sox hat for his Easter package in celebration of opening day this week! 

I also got myself a matching Red Sox hat and wore it to school today.
 (and yes, I am taking a mirror/i-phone picture. I'm such a loser).

I come from a Giants family. The first night I ever spoke to Cameron he made fun of me for liking the Giants and I made fun of him for liking the Red Sox. We got in many "fights" over which team was better throughout our entire relationship...up until now. 

I guess it just goes to show, I like cameron more than I like the Giants.

 And I really like my new hat. 

Happy Birthday MK!

Happy Birthday to my best friend and mom!

I love you so much and I am so blessed to have an amazing friend in you.

Happy Birthday G. 

Pictures from Today 2/12/2012

Baby Amelia came to visit. She is the sweetest little thing and so cuddly.

So......my parents found a house plan they love. We found it yesterday and my dad took us back to look at it (again) and take pictures. They are in love and I am excited. I'll keep you posted on building updates ;) But look out Herriman...the Stober's are coming

Valentine's came early. That boy spoils me. This is the third year he has gotten me flowers for v-day and he's been gone for 2 of those 3 years :) He is such a great man. I am so blessed and spoiled!

I created this little side  by side. The left one was taken today...the right one was taken on New Year's Eve. Call me crazy, but the left one looks rather different from the the right one. Look at my face. See the difference? Ahhhh I love this!


Happy February!

14 DAYS

14 days (yes 14) until Christmas!!
Am I excited to have a day off of work or to get spoiled rotten? No. I'm excited to talk to my cameron.

Last time we talked it was mother's day. SEVEN months ago. I went to his house and his mom talked to him for about 10 minutes, then I got the phone. We ended up talking until midnight (philly time). We talked about school, investigators, companions, friends, and how excited we both were to reach the one year mark. Well the year mark has come and gone and everything about both of our lives has changed. I am so excited just to hear his voice and his laugh. I am excited to hear him talk about those he teaches and about his growing knowledge of the gospel. I am so excited to hear him say "i love you." 

 We've talked on the phone 3 times since he left 14 months ago. once when he left the mtc (when he was at the airport). That call was full of tears and "this is so hard-s." The second time was last christmas. We were 3 months into this waiting game and it was becoming normal. We laughed and talked for a good half hour about our adventures and about each other. Tears were included, but not nearly as bad as the first call. The third call was the most fun...We were so normal. He made fun of me, we called each other names, and laughed all night. It had become normal that he was gone and we were both just enjoying the time we got to speak to one another. This next call is going to be the best yet. I just know it. Try going 14 months without talking to the person you love. With out hearing his laugh or hear him say your name. It's hard, and I would bet anything that most people couldn't do it. But we can. This call we will laugh, tease, recap, and cry when we have to say goodbye. But this call means there is only one more...then he will be home again and all will be well. I simply can not wait. 

14 days. just 14. please hurry. 

52...Part 3

It's finished!!

I am ALMOST done with his package :)

I think he gets better gifts when he's away than he would if he were home.

here are more of the 52 reasons I love my missionary:

Written to him.

21.       Because you weren’t going to go to senior dinner dance until I told you I had to go…then you magically showed up.

22.       Because the day I found out I was elected Senior Class Historian and it was announced on the intercom, you chased me out in the parking lot to congratulate me.

23.       Because you didn’t say hi to me when you got to senior dinner dance. Instead we just looked at one another awkwardly. We didn’t stop the awkwardness until you asked me to dance. WHY WERE WE SO AWKWARD?!

24.       Because you came to village inn with me and my friends after senior dinner dance then kissed me goodnight while it was raining.

25.       Because you call my brother pat and big man. And you set the best example for him by going on a mission. He loves you cam and I am so grateful that you can be the brother he doesn’t have.

26.       Because you called me when I went to girl’s camp and we talked for a long while. I cried because all my stuff had gotten ruined and you made me feel so much better.

27.       Because you took me out to lunch on some of my school days. We hated being apart so much. still do.

28.       Because you told me everything. Good and bad we know it all about one another. Our relationship is so full of trust and so great. Thank you for telling me everything cam, and thank you for loving me through it all.

29.       Because you came and visited me at the snow shack and tipped me that one time. I didn’t want your tip…so I kept trying to give it back. Then I baked it in a cake for you and gave it back, but you kept it in your wallet, and my guess is, it’s still there.

30.   Because of all the nights we spent on your backyard swing. Just talking and staring at the fire. Perfect nights.

31.   Because you always thought your room was so clean. But it wasn’t.

32.   Because I cried on you a lot. And you cried on me too.

33.   Because you faithfully…every week send me a letter and tell me that you love me. I don’t always send you one, but without fail, there is always one from you.

34.   Because you are still you in your letters. You make fun of me and sometimes even talk about stuff. we will have so much fun together again soon.

35.   Because last mother’s day we talked until like midnight (your time) and it was as if you were never gone

more to come.

Who is this boy?!

Okay...I'm going to get personal and share an email again. It's p-day, the best day of the week, and my cutie missionary is just the best. Period.

My absolute favorite (note the sarcasm) thing that people say to me when I tell them I am waiting for a missionary is: "Woah...two years is a LONG time. What if he changes?"

Today I got this email:

...
Hahah yeah its not easy to teach about the gospel. I feel like I knew nothing when i came out compared to what I know now. When we were flying out there was a missionary on his way home and I talked to him and his dad asked us how we'd tell someone what the book of Mormon was and we were all silent, his son just went off and explained in great detail and I thought wow i will never be able to do that. But its now to the point where I can do it in my sleep. The easiest way to explain what we believe is the articles of faith, or the gospel, faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end. The book of Mormon has a lot of critics but only because people don't understand what it is. Another Testament of Jesus Christ. A record of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and their dealings with God and Jesus Christ. People don't know He came here, ministered and taught the rest of "His sheep". The plan of salvation is tricky because its deep, but to scratch the surface you can say something like: Because of the wickedness of the world after the time of Christ, the truths and doctrines of His gospel were lost or distorted, so a loving Father in heaven restored those principles so His children would know what they were to do in this life. These things were restored in the same manner that He has always revealed His gospel, through a prophet. We have evidence of this that you can hold in your hands and read and pray to know if its true......" Haha welcome to missionary work. Anyways, I sure love you sweetie!! :-):-) I hope you know that :-) I do, with all my heart!! Be safe this week ok?? My nerves are at ease a little more knowing you are home safe and sound :-) Just like when i used to make you call me when you'd have to drive home from my house at night :-) I love you Kayla.

Forever yours, your cam, who will see you in less than a year, Elder Cameron Trujillo :-)


I was telling him just how hard it was to explain to my non-member extended family members what an lds missionary was and that I was waiting for one. After I would tell a family member about my missionary they would start asking gospel questions, that got deeper and deeper. I know that the church is true and I have no problem expressing my feelings and testimony to other members. But how do you explain the plan of salvation or why we have "an extra book" to someone who believes fallacies about the church. I told cam I gained an immensely greater respect for what he does everyday and asked how I could become better at it. This paragraph from my email was his reply. For those of you who don't know my cameron, this seems like normal gospel stuff...but to me, this is so much more. This is from the boy who used to allow himself one "church sleep in day" a month and who enjoy sluffing seminary. Yes, this was from a once normal teenage boy. But over the past 14 (yipee!) months, cameron has grown so much within the gospel. I am so proud of who he's become.

So to all the "Waiter Haters" who insist that cameron will change, as will I...you're right. He has changed and will continue to change. And to be honest, I've changed. But we have both grown up and are becoming two adults ready to pursue a life together. I am so excited to meet the man my cameron has become.

52 Continued!

Okay continuing my "52 reasons I love you" project for cam for Christmas, here are ten more of the 52 reasons I love my cam man.

(written to cam)

I love you because....

11.        You took me to build a bear to make a missionary bear before you left (: I sleep with missionary bear every night, but I can not wait to have my missionary instead.
12.        You were just so excited to take me to that crazy Halloween decorated house in your neighborhood last year. We were teasing each other and laughing and then you just kissed me in the middle of the road in the dark. I really loved that moment, it is probably one of the best of my life.
13.     On the morning of prom, at breakfast, taylor asked mitch to say the prayer to make him feel uncomfortable in front of everyone, and instead of making a fool of mitch you offered to say the prayer. I was first so proud that we had a prayer for breakfast, but more so that you said it. That was the first time I heard you pray, and I knew then you would be a faithfull missionary.
14.      The day mitch texted you in drawing class and asked what you thought of his “art friend” [me] you said you had seen me at region dances and at school and always thought I was so pretty.
15.      Because you texted me for the first time that same night.
16.      Because we were both too afraid to acknowledge one another at school. I’d see you, you’d see me, but we’d pretend it never happened. AWKWARD
17.     Because you always got “lost” on the way to autoshop, just so you could walk by Spanish to see me. But don’t worry, I’d walk slow and linger in the halls to see you too.
18.    Because  when I told you I liked those two pairs of shoes you had, you wore them every time we were together after that.
19.   Because you made me dinner that night and we sat on your back deck eating our little chicken and enjoying each other, this night is how I imagine our future marriage nights.
20.     The first night we ever got snow cones together and we stayed on the lawn until it was like 10 o’clock and super dark. Then you walked me to my car and gave me a hug…but I wanted a kiss, so I bravely kissed your check. Then you whispered “I can do better than that,” and kissed me. Really kissed me. Snow cone mouth and all.

52 Reasons

 I love pinterest....and thanks to that wonderous website, I have found a project to make for cam for christmas. I did the 12 days of christmas last year, and wanted to do something equally cute, but different this year, and here it is!

52 reasons I love him.

I've decided to share all 52 on my blog, so here's a few for today. (ps they are written to him)

I love you because....

1.       On our second date, when we went to see Valentine’s Day, after the movie you took my hand and danced with me in the middle of the Jordan landing plaza. I was so nervous and scared that I didn’t really dance with you….But I loved every bit of that moment.

2.      When we were walking up the stairs at prom and you held my hand, it was just so sweet.

3.      Because of your cheesy pickup lines. Remember the football one? I couldn’t figure out why you were talking about football during the movie, then you made “the move.” classic cameron.

4.       Because on our first date you wore that blue and black sweater and smelled better than anyone I’ve ever smelt. you still smell better than anyone...ever.

5.    Because you couldn’t remember my middle name OR my birthday at dinner on prom. Some date you were (:

6.      Because you had a job all through high school. You weren’t some lazy boy that mooched of his parents. You were responsible and hopefully still are {wink, wink}

7.    You have the most perfect teeth of anyone I’ve ever met. Our children will be so blessed in the dental portion of their lives.

8.       You almost cried when you got your hair cut…But in all honestly, you look so much older and so much more like a man with it short. I absolutely love it that way.

9.    You have old man phrases, like “Oh, geez” and a tendency to quote journey songs. you are sooooo old.  I love it.

10.  Because that one time I had a tennis match at copper hills and you promised to come and then you didn’t. I was so mad at you, but then you came to my house that night, practically in tears with flowers because your jeep had broken down. I felt so awful and you did too, but I knew that you truly loved me because you cared so much

Okay those are my first ten. He's such a stud :) and I am so very blessed

A Missionary Girlfriend

11 more months to go. At times it seems like so little and at other times it seems like so much. I would give anything in the world for it to be next october right now. Anything to hug cameron. Some days are better, some are worse, but everyday is one less until I see him. This past week I've been emotional (guess which week of the month it is) but reguardless, i've been thinking a lot about my life with cameron. It's not easy to be the girlfriend of a missionary....It's not easy to have a boyfriend you can't even talk to for two years, or to be the friend that doesn't have a date. It's not easy to wonder what he is doing and how often he thinks of you. It's not easy to try and explain every piece of your life in a letter and to have portions of your life he can't experience. It's not easy to be driving at night and suddenly break down into full on tears, because you wish, more than anything, he could be in the car with you. I miss my cameron so much, but I can't ever tell him that. For him, I have to be strong and positive, always. I know however, through all the hard and all the tears I've cried, he is worth it.
 I can not wait to see cam come down the escalators and I can not wait to hug him and cry uncontrollably (out of happiness) on his shoulder. He is the best man I know and my greatest friend. 13 months down, 11 to go, one day at a time.

I found this today and got some much needed inspiration. They do come home, and it's worth it.

here's one more

just these videos make me cry. I will be a mess when it's my turn.

sorry for the pathetic-ness, but I needed to vent today....and this is my blog.

Lovely

 Yep, I've been pinteresting it up! I pretty much have my whole non-existant house decorated and...maybe a wedding planned. It's a great place :)
 I got some pictures from Cameron yesterday. Mmmm that boy is so attractive. The pictures caused me to have a dream about him. He was home (I didn't know) and he came to school to surprise me. I cried a lot when I finally got to hug him. And then I woke up.
 People, if you have someone significant in your life, love them. Give them a big hug and smell their neck. Hold hands and kiss spontaneously. Sit in the car and enjoy being together. Because, trust me, when you have to go two years without even hearing his voice, you will dream about just being able to have him next to you, let alone hug you.

I can't wait to have my cameron back... 11 more months

Pumpkin Patch

                                                                                      
                                                                                         I'm pretty sure nothing could top my day.

October Weekend #1

The Arizona Monument Feb. 2011

The wall of names. So sacred.

If you didn't guess it by now...I watched pearl harbor this weekend.

wow.

if you haven't seen it, go watch it. now.

it was so great. i most definitely cried. it was such a beautiful love story, the kind i'm a sucker for. chel, camel, ash, and i cuddled on the couch, ate cookies, and in typical girl fashion, watched a love story, all, i'm sure, dreaming of our own.

______________________________________________________________________________

saturday night I visited with lex, josh, camie, and ashlee for a while then when onto date night with chel.
we went and saw Taylor Lautner at the movies.
   we enjoyed multiple shirtless scenes and tension throughout the entire movie. i don't think either of us know what the story was about. but there was russians, a train, and t. laut on a motorcycle. it doesn't get better.
 then we stopped and got rice at my house and headed to chel's to watch glee at one in the morning. it was a great night. never a dull moment with the nunez's. seriously.
______________________________________________________________________________

now i'm watching conference and waiting for my cute parents to come home from st. george. the apostles are truly the lord's prophets. the gospel is true, and i am loved.

I hope you all had a good weekend as well bloggers!

My Guy

Okay...So since this blog is called "a waiting girl" and is supposed to be about me waiting for my cam man, I decided to do something weird today. Mondays are P-day, which I love! I get an email every week from cam and this week I want to share my email. This is the boy I love. shhhhh....don't tell him i'm publicizing this, he'd never be cute again! haha but lex, this is what you have to look forward to :)

"Hey there pretty girl! :-) I am doing well! It sure is great to hear from you, like always :-) It makes me so happy to hear you are happy and all is well :-) College sounds fun! See didn't i tell you that you'd be ok?? Haha just proves yet again... that i am always right ;-) And i like the idea of going to the same school! We'll see. I'm going to take whatever door heavenly Father opens for me :-) But what i look forward to most is our little cozy poor college couple apartment mmmm... ;-):-) That will seriously be the best!!
Your story about Elder Jones was so awesome!! I seriously think he had been my favorite comp yet! We just got along so great! Walking around the frozen streets of south Philly quoting Seinfeld and talking abut the jazz every day :-) Hahaha he messages me on fb once in a while. Haha by behaved i mean he better not have told you anything embarrassing about some of the things we went through! :-) Haha missions are full of awkwardness. Just everything has potential to be awkward. Living with someone you don't know 24-7, knocking on doors, people on the streets, anti Mormon harassment, it all keeps things interesting haha. Haha and i doubt he thinks badly of you Kayla! :-) Come on now, he saw every pic I had of you, just like all my comps, and plus i've said it a million times, you Kayla Jean Stober cannot look bad!! That's just the facts jack!! :-) So deal with it!! :-) I sure love you babe!!
ARGH! My birthday ya say?? Haha there is my pirates imitation for the year :-) haha. Well i went and hit a bucket of balls at a driving range. Besides that, normal day. We had a dinner set up that night but the member cancelled. Nothing exciting :-) Your package made me so so happy! Haha you are too cute! :-) Thank you so so much!! You sure know how to make me feel loved Kayla Trujillo :-) Really that is something that I can not tell you how much it means to me. All i can say is thank you, and i love you more than you can even imagine!!! :-)
I cant believe its Halloween time!! That means one year is just around the corner!! :-) Babe think about that. One year, one! Until i look into your beautiful green eyes again :-) Soon it'll be less than a year!! CRAZY!! Your Halloween festivities sound fun! Haha i definitely want pics of your costumes! When we are married, geez even next year, how do you feel about couple Halloween costumes? I could see us at a Halloween party :-)
You seriously are so blessed! Your job is like the perfect fit for you! And now you make "real person money" hahahaha :-) You were just make believe before. Kinda like Pinocchio, but your nose is cute and not big haha :-) Ahhh i cant wait to tease you in person again! Remember sitting on the couch together and teasing each other?? :-) I sure do. Anyways back to your work. So how many teams were there in this said Olympics?? Just curious :-) What did you win? So the facebook things. Well you can post on my wall, but just be wise haha i dunno. President reviews them a lot and Elder Mathie (now assistant to the president) Is leery of people having people from home. I cant write lovey dovey stuff on your wall, but i can and do expect to do it via email, message whatever :-) Thats kinda the rule is just to keep stuff private. I am working with people from other areas and here on it and trust me, private is best. Its hard though because some of the people I've baptized are having a hard time and are slipping away. It breaks my heart. But the atonement covers all things, its just helping them to realize that. Sorry for that tangent haha. Umm on pics you can totally tag me! But my attempt at a muscle pic that i sent you, probably not that one. Its kinda being worked out still. Our misson is the pioneer for facebook missionary work. The other 52000 missionaries are waiting for us to figure it out so everyone can use it. I dunno. Not much of an answer right? :-) Sorry thats all I know hun. But definitely be lovey dovey either way :-) You know i love that! :-)
Yes its beginning to be fall here!! Haha i love it! The temp is just perfect that i can wear a long sleeved shirt and be comfortable in the cool air :-) This Saturday suit coats go back on for the winter though. I kinda like wearing it all the time, but its harder to wash regularly. So no my scent definitely isn't good anymore haha :-) Its more like fabreez hahaha. This week. Starting tonight, I'm going up to Susquehanna PA for a zone conference tomorrow so it should be way way pretty up there! We are going to the site where the priesthood was restored to Joseph Smith :-) IN your pics in you scriptures, its in there. Cool right? Someday I want to go on a historical church site seeing trip together and see the sacred grove and where the first book of Mormon was printed and Carthage jail, and just all of that stuff :-) Maybe it can end with us going to the temple here in philly with some of the people I helped receive the gospel. I dunno, just a thought for our to do list :-)
I sure love you babe! Be safe and have fun this week ok? :-) I miss you like none other! But I know we will be and have been already, blessed for this :-) I cant wait to have the girl of my dreams in my arms once more :-) And to have the amazing marriage i always wanted :-) You are my everything cutie! :-) Don't ever forget that!

Love forever and ever, your cam, your missionary, Elder Cameron C. Trujillo :-)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO MWAH! :-)


he is the greatest man I know and I love him to death. Here's to one more year.

My Wardie Date

SO...Last night I went on a date with a good friend of mine from my ward. Yes, a wardie. He was the boy that took me on my very very first date back when I turned 16. We recently kind of became friends again (sort of) after being out of touch for a couple years. He asked me on a date last week after my interesting day at church with him and I agreed. I was super nervous because in all honesty when I was 16 I liked this boy. A lot. I had the biggest crush on him right from the first time I talked to him at mutal. But feelings were not shared and time passed on. I was nervous about my date last night because I didn't know how I still felt about this boy. I didn't know if the feelings I had for him back a few years ago were still prevalent. I still thought he was attractive, but did I like him? This worried me. I was worried I was putting myself in a situation that would not be good for me and cameron. The week leading up to our date I couldn't help but feel guilty because I knew how I had once felt about this boy. But I ended up going anyways and it was the best decision I could have made. My date was fun. We went to cafe rio for dinner. We went and walked on the jordan parkway and talked and talked. We went to get frozen yogurt and my date even sang in the car. By all measures it was a good date. But it was nothing compared to dates with cameron, and that's what was so good. My memories of my first date with my wardie were that is was spectacular. I just thought it was the greatest date ever and that I was so in love with this boy. I thought we was just the greatest thing in the world...Now, not as much. I have good memories, but I think I have a better perspective of things in my life. I have goals and plans and expectations. Things that this man does have, but also things that he does not have. I have a list to stay true to for marriage and my wardie differs from what I want. No, I was not planning on marring mr. wardie by any means, but now I realize just how important those goals for my husband and my life are.
 Sorry this has been A LOT of rambling...but I feel like I've just been awakened in ways. I am so glad I went on that date because I feel in love with cameron more. The way he treats me and talks to me and the feelings he has for me are special. I am so blessed to have such an amazing man in my life who has dedicated his life to God. That is the kind of man I want to marry and the one I will :) I guess it's good for me to go on dates because it makes me realize just how happy I am with cameron. AND...tomorrow is his birthday :)
Happy Sunday!

date night

The Basics

So...here's the story. Cameron and I were somewhat introduced my a mutal friend last year. He was a senior and I was a junior. Mitch, our mutal friend, told Cameron that I thought he was a stud and Cam asked Mitch for my number. And that's how it started. Cameron texted me the same night and we hit it off instantly. We texted straight for days, and then Cameron asked me on a date. Our first date was hilarious. We doubled with Mitch and went to Hollywood Connection (YUCK!) But he made it fun. He was/is the worst mini golfer I've ever met and that made for some laughs. I found that Cam and I just got along super easily. It was so natural to be with him. SO our first date was a success. Then we went on a second to the movies and saw Valentine's Day together. He made the move, and everything was so great. I decided I really liked Cam. Fast forward a few months....We went to Prom together and that was the first night he held my hand and then kissed me. He is amazing. The night after senior dinner dance I took him on a date. We went to gardner village for dinner and went to day break lake. We held hands and talked the entire night. It was a perfect night, made better only by him telling me he loved me for the first time. He said it, and I knew he meant it. From that moment on we were inseperable. We spent the entire summer with each other. Our nights consisted of rides in the jeep, cuddled by the fire, and long conversations. I fell in love very easily with him. He is my better half and my absolute best friend. We were there for eachother through everything...no matter what. The summer was a dream and ended all too soon. In August Cameron recieved his mission call. I watched Cameron go from a high school boy to a mission ready man. We embraced our last months together, but knew the end was near. We spent every spare second together. Before he recieved his call, Cameron and I talked about me waiting and marriage. He is an amazing man and I want nothing more in life than to be with him. He gave me a promise ring and promised if I waited for him and supported him, he would marry me. And that's the deal. He left on October 20, 2010. It was by far the hardest day of my entire life. There is nothing harder than watching the man you love walk away from you for the last time for a long time. I watched him go and am waiting for him to come back. Cameron is the best man I have ever met. He is my best friend. He knows anything and everything about me, and I about him. I know that these two years will only make us stronger when we are married. He is an incredible missionary. I am so truly proud of the man he has become and can not wait to meet him again. This blog is about the time until that happens...
