Viva Las Vegas




Vegas for Spring Break? It may seem a little cliche, but it was such an adventure. It was the first "vacation" i've ever taken with out my parents and I sure learned a lot...

Here are some things I learned in Vegas:

- If you harass a truck driver long enough, he'll honk his truck horn for you
- If you hold your cafe rio cup out the window while driving 80 mph, it will fly away
- Driving a mini van is way harder than it looks
- 21 is a HUGE birthday if you're not LDS and from Utah
- Walking up and down the strip trying to find things can make you cranky...and make your feet hurt
- The elevators in the Luxor go sideways. (we rode it up and down twice just to be sure).
- The New York New York roller coaster is hard on your body. My parents weren't lying.
- People will do anything for a tip. Be a human statue on the strip, serenade you in front of ceaser's palace, or even rap as you walk by. Anything.
- Colby is a pro winker and is a trooper for putting up with five girls by himself. He is also a great poly husband and secret lesbian named Chloe. Like I said, he was a trooper.
- Erica is the funniest person ever. Really. There is nothing more to add, she is awesome.
- April is korean and has a sassy butt walk.
- Anita's feet and hands swell and she is husband's favorite.
- Ashlee is the best and will hug me when I'm crying and sad even on vacation.
- Home is great to go back to.

Vegas was the perfect little get away. I had a blast with some great people and had some great experiences. Thank you everyone for all the fun!!! Happy Spring Break

The Math

Me - 30 LBS = a much happier runner.







I can only imagine what I'll run like when I reach my UGW.
Life is great.

SEVEN more fast sundays!

Happy P-Day! Who would have thought I'd love mondays so much? Not me...but I seriously look forward to them everyweek these days. (I can't wait until I can hate mondays like a normal person again).
Why do I love them so much? Oh, because I get emails like this:

Hello Ms. Kayla :-)
Haha I'm doing well! Just barely had an interesting encounter with a drunk man in the library, but that's what you get for public computers. He came in and stood right beside me and just yelled profanities and nothing in particular. Kinda scary haha. He was drunk as a skunk, smelt so bad. The staff chased him out, but man my heart sure raced for a minute haha. Trying to be a good little missionary here :-) haha.
But besides that excitement, all is well for sure!! :-) Im writing my sweetheart :-) How could I not be doing well?? :-) I love you cutie! And im happy to hear you are doing well!! :-) Haha and believe it or not its snowing here right now. I am looking out the window at it. I don't get it. Its hot in December and snowy in March. It wont stick too much. Geez it sounds like you got a lot of it!! Did you build a snow man? You could have put my name tag on him haha :-) Please be safe out there ok? I know you will do fine, but other people are nuts. Just stay safe till I come home to you ok? :-) Even then you aren't allowed to get hurt haha :-)
Skiing! Hmmmm I think I could learn that :-) To be 100% honest i've always kinda wanted to, but nobody in my family does and so it just never happened. Chris tried snowboarding once, I wasn't much of a skateboarder so I dont think i'd like snowboarding. Long boarding is fun though :-) Haha so yes i'll let you teach me. I agree it would be fun with you :-) Id rather be with you than jeff anyways, (dont tell him I said that haha) I love you :-) So there. I cant wait to do so many things with you babe!! Its coming soon too! :-) I think about you and how our life is going to be, and I cant help but get all excited and smile constantly :-):-) I know its going to be AMAZING!! :-) And ps your pics from the trip are cute!! :-) You are so pretty Kayla!!! Mmmm. I am one very lucky man :-)
And you can be as excited as you want!! (it makes me feel good that you are as excited as i am! :-)) I cant believe how fast time is going these days! SEVEN more fast sundays!! Haha it sounds so weird to me, like I cant believe that's where its at! You aren't silly at all, I cant wait to spend my life with you again either Kayla :-) believe me!! I sure love you too sweetie :-) With all my heart. I'll be home before ya know it! In fact it wont be long before my mom gets my flight itinerary! They send it out early so people can arrange schedules and so cute girlfriends can get nostalgic :-) haha. I don't mind your sweetness at all hun. To me that's what it is :-)
Aww little primary kids. I knew you'd love that calling! :-) Its amazing how smart they are right? We have this little girl here in our ward that learns a scripture almost weekly. Its awesome! I cant wait until our kids are the ones up on the stage in their program, or the ones being baptized :-) Or when i get to bless them :-) So much fun awaits in the future :-) So much still yet to experience. I know we will have the gospel centered home we never had as kids. Exactly like you described :-) Family prayer and scripture study and temple trips. Coming from our background to have our kids prepare to go on missions and marry in the temple, what greater blessing is there?? :-)
Have an amazing week ok? And i'll do the same :-) I love you Kayla. Be safe and soon our tomorrows will be today :-) But no matter what, as long as I have you EVERYDAY will be a good day :-)

Love you more, your cam, your missionary, Elder Cameron Trujillo :-)


Who wouldn't love getting an email like that everyweek? This boy is a keeper. He makes me laugh, smile, and look forward to our future. He is such a great missionary and I am so proud of him. I love my elder. (But we are getting REALLY excited for the fall...)

Ski Day






On my way to work on Friday...slipping and sliding through the un-plowed streets, including redwood, I couldn't help but wish I was headed up to the ski resorts. In fact, it's all I could think about most of Friday so on Saturday my Dad and I went up to Brighton and spent a wonderful day on the slopes.

It was windy and cold, but absolutely wonderful. We raced down the mountains and stayed until close. We joked with one another on the ski lifts and really had a blast together. We laughed as we watched little kids fall down the same hill that I had learned to ski on when I was a just tiny kid.

I had so much fun with my dad and am so grateful he was willing to drop everything Saturday morning to head up with me. I have such a great dad and a wonderful family and we had such a great time!

I guess there are some perks to living in boring old Utah :)

Sweet 16


okay okay...sweet sixteen was actually about 2 weeks ago. But I have been so busy with midterms I put off this post until now. But hey, that means two more weeks until the next mile stone. I
 can live with that.

Cameron has been gone for....SIXTEEN MONTHS! holy wow. 16.
and that means only 8 months left. (this sunday will be 7 more fast sundays)

February was a toughy, but it's over and march awaits. And each month is one less until october, and I can't wait. (but I will )
