Sort of a Sick Day

A few members of our extended family have been attacked by that awful "pig" sickness and I was feeling like I might be catching it. So in an effort to not spread it around more we stayed home yesterday. I was sad to miss church and our family party but it just wasn't worth the risk.

So yesterday we spent the day relaxing and I didn't even attempt to get out of my pajamas. It was so nice! I am totally a home-body and love nothing more than being able to hang out with Cam all day...however there is a consequence to spending all day together like that. And just as I predicted...I had an even bigger pit in my stomach this morning than I normally do. I hate mornings because we have to say good-bye for the day. I know this sounds absolutely pathetic and clingy, but I guess I'm not too ashamed. I seriously have so much fun when Cam and I are together and when we are apart I miss him so much. I thought that it would get easier the longer we were married, but it has gotten worse!

Don't be mistaken, I'm not complaining. I love that I miss him so much, I love that I don't get sick of him. Of course we both benefit from time apart and doing our own thing, but I feel like I just can't get enough of him. I guess that is what I get being married to my best friend right?

It might be funny to say, but even though I don't like that feeling...I hope it never, ever changes :)

Pumpkin Party

For our first FHE last year we invited our friends John and Whitney to join us for some pumpkin carving. We thought it was so fun that we wanted to continue the tradition this year. Even better we invited Kevin and Britanna to join us.

This is the other side of Cam's. Doesn't it look good?Kevin and Britanna's, Cam's, Mine

John and Whitney's didn't quite turn out and we didn't get a picture of it :( I never pass up an opportunity to make treats so we had these Dirt Desserts with a spooky twist

Hopefully everyone had fun! I know we did! Happy Halloween!

We Made It!

Yes we have survived the first year and guess what? We even enjoyed it! I can't even tell you how many people told us that the first year is the hardest. And although it hasn't been perfect because there are always things to learn and grow from, if that was the hardest...then as far as eternity goes, I say bring it on! We really had such a fun first year.

For our Anniversary Cam did all the planning and he did such a great job! We went to dinner at the roof which was not only a beautiful view, but incredibly delicious as you can imagine ate to our hearts content.

After dinner, Cam had set up with his boss who is a pilot to take us flying! I didn't have any idea and was so excited! He took us in a small four seated plane and we flew over the Bountiful Temple and then up around the Ogden area for an hour or so we were able to see a bird's eye view of the Bountiful area and it was so beautiful with all of its lights and such. Cam was even able to fly for a bit of it and take the plane off for the second take-off which was especially fun because Cam has had an interest in flying for a long time. It was definitly unique and so much fun :)

Unfortunately a combination an overstuffed belly and flying did not make for a very settled stomach so we came home feeling a little sick, but it was so worth it. It was actually perfect because all we wanted to do was lay down and try to feel better. So we watched the video I had made Cam for his gift. I put together all of our pictures that we took over our first year. A big thank you to Darci who always knows how to do everything and helped me with it. Thanks again Darci! So we finished up "Our Day" watching and remembering all the fun things we did the past year.

I know a lot of people don't like to read all the mushy stuff people put on blogs, but I personally love it and well the fact is...this is my blog so if you don't like it don't read it :) But I just wanted to take a second and just say how much I love Cam. So I thought I would make a list.

• He is always putting me first and makes sure that I am happy before even thinking of himself.
• He is always surprising me and I LOVE surprises!
• He teases me and won't let me take myself too seriously.
• He can read me even better than myself...I actually get jealous because I wish I could read him that well.
• He makes me laugh everyday
• I have always felt like I could tell him anything or do anything around him and he would never make me feel self concious...that is huge for me.
• He is the most dedicated and hardworking person I know and does everything to take care of me.
• He does what is right no matter what and doesn't ask questions.
• He is always himself and doesn't worry about what other people think.

And although there are a thousand other things I could list, I will just say that I love him, he is absolutely my best friend. Thanks babe for the best year of my life so far. I'm excited for an eternity more of them!

You may not know...

But then again, you might have an idea that sometimes I like to act a little crazy. Like last night for example, we were watching Dancing With The Stars (love it!) and when we had to get ready for our softball game I got an uncontrollable urge to dance around our apartment all while singing everything I wanted/needed to say. Mostly it was slightly interpretive/modern dance and the song was very dramatically sung to my sweet husband. (Who I'm sure was wondering why on earth he decided to marry me.) That's why right in the middle of all of it I asked him if he really loved me...even when I acted like this. He laughed and teasingly said "I must because I'm still around...even when you act like that":). I like when I can make him laugh.

I think my mood rubbed off on him a little because we cranked the music and danced and sang all the way to our game.

So fun :)

Perfect Sunday

Yesterday Cam and I spoke for the first time in our ward...yes we have been here for a year. It was nice to get it over with. I was intimidated because we had to speak on the Atonement...wow talk about big, but I really loved studying about it and I learned a lot. It was nice to get that over with, now we can stop worrying every time we turn in our tithing or pass the bishopric in the hall that we are going to get the assignment. Cam did an amazing job and I heard a couple of people tell him that they think he should be our speaker every week. I wouldn't be opposed. I think he is a fantastic public speaker and brings the spirit into the meeting so well.. But, I'm not biased or anything :). After church was so much fun. We had bought all of the ingredients to make Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Salad from a blog I found (sorry I don't know how to add links) and so we spent the afternoon in the kitchen together...my favorite! It took a lot of work, and didn't taste exactly like Cafe Rio but it was still yummy and worth it! After dinner and all the clean up...which was a ton...we cuddled on the couch while watching a Knight's Tale. Talk about a perfect evening.
