Before I give you the run down, let me just say two things. 1.  I think we should vote to make Christmas be on Sunday every year. 2. I did not take any pictures...I know, terrible right. With that being said, here is the itinerary for our crazy Christmas Day7:30: Wake up to open presents8:00 Get ready for the day9:00 Church at our parents ward10:00 Home to change10:30 Open presents at mom and

Christmas Eve was very relaxing this year.  I loved being able to be home and get things done in the morning instead of having to work like usual.  In the morning I finished up the treats that I had stopped making at 1:00 that morning.  I packaged them up to deliver and finished wrapping presents.  I felt so prepared and LOVED it.  By the afternoon, we were completely ready for all the

A few weeks ago I got a quick little note from a friend asking if I had given up on blogging.  It sure seems like it, doesn't it?  I'm not sure why I get so overwhelmed, but the whole picture issue on blogger really holds me back. Excuses, excuses, I know.  The truth is, I would really like to have all of our trip blogged before moving on, but since that requires so many pictures to be uploaded,

I suppose this post could be titled "The Great and Dreadful Way to our Hotel."  We started off our travels by a surprisingly easy 10 hour flight to Paris.  It went by really fast and was quite pleasant considering.  After that, the day went a little downhill, but since we were at the beginning of a pretty fabulous vacation, we didn't let the stress get to us...too much.  But really, how can you

We just got back from a pretty amazing vacation which included a stay in Rome and a 12 day Mediterranean Cruise.  Ever since we went to Europe two years ago we have been planning to go back.  The time finally came and it was well worth the wait!  We had such a great time and took about a million pictures so I will be blogging like a crazy person trying to get caught up.  I hope you enjoy :)

One of our favorite things to do is travel.  We would probably head somewhere different every weekend if possible.  Turns out it costs money to do that, crazy right? So, until we have a money tree growing in our backyard, the times we get the chance to go will do just fine. (btw, if anyone knows where to get money tree seeds, I would love to know.  I promise I would share) We are currently in the

Not only is March the month of Mustaches, but it also the month of Cam's birthday.So naturally for his party I combined the two.Luckily we have great friends who were willing to participate in my crazy idea.Here a some pictures of the event. The results of Pin the Mustache on Cam Steve needed a picture of his own because he was so far away :) We held the dessert hostage until everyone

I have heard parts of this song before, but on my way home from work tonight I heard the chorus and instantly fell in love with it.  I came home and listened to the whole thing on Youtube and loved it even more.  If I didn't know any better I would have thought the inspiration for the song was our first kiss story.  It fits it. to. a. "T".  I'm pretty sure I have written about that before, but

I have seen people do confessions on a couple blogs and I thought it was fun to read their lists.  Since I am waiting for Cam to finish his game so we can go to bed, I thought I'd give it a whirl.  So here goes nothin'.   1. I don't think I have eaten a thing with any source of nutritional value in the last 48 hours. My diet has consisted of chocolates, buttered/salted popcorn, chocolate covered

When we bought our house, my favorite part of it was instantly the fireplace.  I adore fireplaces and always wanted one in my house someday.   My grandma has a closed fireplace and she uses it all the time, I believe that is where my love for fireplaces came from. Since we moved in our house in the spring, we haven't ever had a fire. So you can bet as soon as the weather showed signs of getting

Two years have passed since we became Mr. and Mrs. George.  I have one thing to say about the second year of marriage...it went by twice as fast as the first.  I really feel like I just wrote about our first anniversary and here we are again.  The other thing I could say about the second year is that it was twice as good as the first too!To celebrate we stayed at Little America and it was sooo

Last year I was given the opportunity to teach a couple dance classes as the studio I used to take at.  I was so excited to put on my dance shoes after hanging them up for a couple years.  I taught two classes, the eleven/twelve year olds, and seven/eight year olds.  I loved getting to know those cute girls and being able to see them learn and progress throughout the year.  (Eleven/Twelve--"

When we heard Mr. McGraw would be making a visit to Utah a few months ago, we quickly picked up some tickets and looked forward to it for what seemed like forever.   I was really excited to hear Lady Antebellum, but we ran into some uber bad traffic on the way and ended up missing them completely.  It took us a whopping 2 hours to get to the venue.  I'm surprised that any of us had hair by the

On our way home from our date tonight Cam suggested a movie before bed.I agreed  I took 2 minutes to let the dog out, change to pajamas and take a potty break.  I swear it couldn't have been more than two minutes.  I'm ready for the movie... but where is Cam?  Asleep on the couch.Sound asleepStill fully dressed right down to his shoes.  How that boy can fall asleep in the blink of an eye is

It has felt like we have been gone from our little blog for a long time.  We haven't had internet at home since we moved and it has felt like forever!  I have written a couple of posts while on other computers but didn't post them due to not being able to add pics and we all know how much more enjoyable pictures make reading :) So for all (maybe 2 or 3) of you that read this blog, you can look

Memorial Day weekend was quite the memorable time 2 years ago. So I thought I would write it down for my sake and if you want to hear about our first kiss then keep on reading.Cam and I had been spending oodles of time together for about a month and I was loving every second of it.  However, we had yet to do any smooching.  I was suprisingly not very worried about it, I was having so much fun and

Easter/Conference weekend was a lot of fun.  I always enjoy Conference and getting to listen to our Prophet and other leaders of the Church speak.  It really is such a priviledge.  Saturday morning I woke up earlier than Cam (surprise surprise :)) and made breakfast burritos before the first session.  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but they were delicious and better yet Cam loved them.  He

...for the boring pictureless posts.  Our computer got sick....really sick so I can only blog on other computers, which as you can imagine, don't have our pictures on them.  Sad story.  So thanks for enduring all my boring writing and I promise to make it up once the computer starts feeling better.  I'm excited to show you pictures of our new (to us) house.  Its really cute...at least I think so.

Okay so this memory monday isn't a very distant memory, but since I slacked and didn't write about it then, I will now.  Cam's Birthday was a couple weeks ago.  I stress a lot about what to get and do and how to make him feel special.  He doesn't really care too much about his birthday and I think that is weird.  I think birthdays are such fun holidays because they are yours.  All the other

I've been a slacker the past couple of Mondays so I'm trying do better this week.  For my memory monday post this week, I have just a short and vague memory to share.  It actually is more like an overall memory instead of a specific one...maybe that's confusing, sorry.  Anyway, on with it. Like every other couple, we found ourselves pretty much inseparable as we dated, fell in love and were

Late Sunday night we were wrapping up our great conversation with Cam's sister Kylee.  All was quiet in the house when I heard a strange sound coming from pantry area.  I quickly shushed (is that even a word?) them and directed their attention to it.  We all agreed it had to be a rat.  I kid you not, it sounded exactly like a massive rat was going to town on the package of oreos behind the pantry

I think we can all agree that we all run out of ideas for dinner.  In an effort to make it easier, I along with a couple friends have decided to exchange recipes to give us a better variety.  I'm got really excited about this and got started early and then before I had them all typed up, my computer got a nasty virus and lost all of my work.  So I'm trying to get it all put back together and

This past weekend we moved into our house (more on that later).  Seeing my track record, I was glad to see that it was seemingly impossible to lock myself out due to the fact that our front door only has a dead bolt which must be locked from the outside.  Gone were the days of that dreadful realization that I cannot enter my own home and being at the mercy of the one with the keys or better yet

 Cam's parents have a trampoline in the ground in the backyard.  It quickly became one of our favorite places while we were dating.  I know what you are thinking and I promise that we didn't just go out there for a make-out session. :) Sometimes yes, kissing was involved. We were falling in love what do you expect! But we more enjoyed having a quiet place to cuddle while we talked about anything

For our first "Memory Monday" post, I thought I would write about our first date.  Cam came home from his mission in March of 2008 and we had only talked briefly at church and exchanged phone numbers.  I think that he texted me later that night to see if I was going to ward prayer and then he texted me the next day to see if I wanted to go to the Joseph Smith movie (classic return missionary date

Let me just say that I have never locked my keys in the car or ran out of gas (even though I have been known to run it on fumes), but for some reason I have quite the history of locking myself out of our apartment.  It has happened at least four times in the year and four months we have lived there and those aren't even counting the times I was able to save myself by using our hide-a-key.

Conversations between Cam and I are often about memories we have of different parts of our life together as well as apart.  Though it hasn't been long, we have been able to make some really fun memories together.  I have never been a good journal keeper or a creative scrapbooker and it dissapoints me to think of all the things we haven't documented.  I often think about things that I want to

Do you feel as though your life would be incomplete if you didn't have one of these in your wardrobe?: Cam saw a similar thing while watching ESPN and simply HAD to have one to wear while working at the Jazz games.  Not wanting to disappoint him, I agreed to put my little sewing skills to good use.  Making up the pattern was a slight challenge,  and the zipper almost won our battle but I survived

I'm good at saying "I love you".  I am not so good at showing "I love you".  As of late I have realized how much I need to work on it.  So in the spirit of Valentines day, I will be working on my new goal. Every day.  He deserves it.  A lot.

Christmas this year was no less than perfect. In the afternoon/evening of Christmas Eve, Cam and I cuddled on the couch and drank hot chocolate while we watched the first part of "The Grinch". It was a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit. We spent Christmas Eve night with Cam's family and had our second annual Pajama exchange and I have to say we made out really nicely! Thanks Adam and

I absolutely LOVE Valentines day. Not necessarily the day itself, even though I love that too, but mostly all the decorations. I just adore all of the red and pink. I can hardly wait to make heart shaped sugar cookies and decorate them with pink frosting and cute sprinkles. I just love sugar cookies with sprinkles. I'm getting excited just thinking about it. And I just love having an excuse to

I am definitely not the person that gets up in enough time to sit at my kitchen table and read the paper while eating my breakfast. Instead I am pouring my cereal in a cup when I am already late and eating it during my 25 minute commute praying I don't spill and quickly brushing my teeth when I arrive. This morning was not unlike any other. Except for one thing. As I walked my patient into the

Since Cam's nights and weekends have been pretty full of Jazz games and wrestling, we decided to have our date night last night since he didn't have anything going. It was so fun to be able to spend some quality time together since it has become such a novelty lately. So for our date we went here:and ate way too much delicious food. Then we came home and watched this:and this: and LOVED both of

I know this is a little late, but better late than never right? This year's Thanksgiving was full of the usual: Lots of family, tons of fun, and more than enough amazing food. It was our turn to spend it with my family so we ate dinner at my Grandma Ferrin's house. It was pretty quiet considering it was just my family, my grandma and my aunt. There is usually quite a bigger crowd

I absolutely cannot get enough of the smell of our Chritmas tree and my Spiced Grapefruit (who thought it would smell so Christmasy) scentsy in my living room mixed with the Sugar Cookie one in my kitchen. I don't waste any time before turning them on when I get home. Add the lights on my tree and garland and I am one happy girl.

Before we got married, we invested in a very nice new mattress and it really is amazing and very much worth the money spent. We worked hard to refinish our bed frame and love how it turned out. So knowing all that, you would think that we would never not want to sleep there. Funny thing is, is we love to sleep on the couch or camp out on the floor in the front room. Sometimes it is planned, like

I have always wanted to live in Sugar House. No, it's not because I love the area or know anything about it for that matter and it's not because I know anyone that lives there, no it is much, much deeper than that. Ever since I was a little girl, whenever I heard "Sugar House", I automatically thought of a place with houses shaped like cupcakes and cobblestone-like roads made of candy. I guess

Today I visited an old friend. One I have missed very much and I was not dissappointed with my visit. I'm sure you have heard of Spanky's (the sandwich place in Colonial Square) Well, it is my favorite. For a couple years I went there almost everyday during the week. But, since changing jobs a year ago I haven't been able to go back. Today's visit was fantastic, my sandwich was made exactly

Even though we have been married for over a year, my apartment has much to be desired in the decoration department. I realized that it is not from a lack or want or will, it is a product of indecision. I can't make decisions if my life depends on them. I especially struggle with things like choosing color or style that will stick around for a while. After this long of thinking that the colors

Last saturday was cleaning day...deep cleaning day. We have been having problems with our sinks not draining and for about a week before that we weren't really able to do dishes. And I wasn't about to call our Landlord without doing something about them so I decided the only choice I had was to do them in my bathtub... After I had loaded the dishes into the sink, I thought i would just try

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

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. Cleaning the insides out (I think I'm the only one that likes this part) Cam working hard John and WhitneyKevin and BritannaMine and Cam's Pumpkins...can you tell

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

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

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

Yesterday I discovered this place. I think I fell in love the second I walked in. Aisles upon aisles of craft supplies and adorable decorations. The best part...40% off coupon available. Everyday. I could sense Cam (and my pocketbook) getting nervous as I excitedly expressed my adoration for this newfound building full of bliss. I will definitely be going back. really soon.

This picture of Christ is probably my absolute favorite. It is called "Friends" and it is by Liz Lemon Swindle. I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. When I see it, it makes me think a couple of things: 1. It makes me feel so comforted and loved because I feel like this is how our Brother listens to us and cares about all the little and big things that

...the leaves are falling down! Okay so maybe they aren't falling down quite yet, but the air is getting cooler and its time to bring out the jackets and sweaters and all those other cute Fall clothes! The other day I was just thinking about how much I love Fall and I literally got butterflies because I was so excited! All I can say is that I can't wait to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies

So I was sitting here thinking about how life goes and how we set goals and have dreams of where we want to be and how we want to get there. I like thinking about those things and preparing for the future, but I also really enjoy looking back and seeing where life has taken me and how certain things are different from how I pictured it or planned it to be. Even more than that, I enjoy seeing how

I have to admit that I am slightly a blog stalker...okay maybe a lot of a blog stalker. I just really enjoy reading what other people want to share...and if they didn't want people to read it, then they wouldn't write it and put it on the world wide web right? The reason I'm sharing is because I am inspired and envy those who can write about anything under the sun and make it sound interesting.

Dear Summer, Sadly the time has come to bid farewell to you. We hate to say good-bye, but unfortunately it is a must. We loved your hot days filled with fun activities like hiking, swimming, fireworks and fishing. We loved barbeques and ice cream. We had so many fun trips that we enjoyed in your beautiful weather: Bear Lake, Wolf Creek, Las Vegas, San Diego, the cabin and probably more that

July 28th, 2008 was a pivotal day in my life. I was asked a very important question, one that would change my life in the absolute best way possible. Cam proposed to me up above the Bountiful Temple and it couldn't have been more perfect or beautiful. I had my suspicions about it happening that night, but he did a good job of keeping me guessing. I knew he wouldn't propose with anyone else

I just have to actually document this moment because there is a good chance it may never, ever happen again. I just want it put on the books that this, the 22nd day of July 2009 I, Jessica, actually beat Cam at something! We played Tiger Woods golfing on the Wii tonight for the first time and I actually won! I know this may not seem like a big deal at all to anyone else, but to me this is a

Words cannot express the feeling of relief I had after finishing cleaning our extra bedroom. It had become the storage dumping ground and I had been putting off organizing it for sometime. I had been waiting and waiting for the perfect time (which never came) and consequently it had gotten much worse over the past few months. I finally had had it with worrying about it and being so incredibly

So tonight Cam and I made chocolate chip cookies and it reminded me of a story that happened right after we got married. It was a Sunday just like tonight and we were going to Cam's parents for dinner and I wanted to take something to share. We hadn't really stocked our pantry yet so all I really had was a chocolate chip cookie mix. To preface...If you know me, you may know how much I just love

This weekend we made a quick trip to San Diego for one of Cam's mission companion's wedding. It was both our first time to San Diego and we were especially excited to be able to go to the temple. Everyone always says how beautiful it is and we were anxious to see it first hand. Just as we were promised the temple was beautiful. The ceremony was of course wonderful and we just loved being there

A couple of weekends ago Cam's cousin Brandon was baptized. This baptism was especially exciting because Brandon is 14 years old. Some of Brandon's family are members, but inactive and since he started living with his wrestling coach in Springville, he has gained his own testimony and really has been converted and we are so excited for him. Cam is really close to Brandon and calls him his little

Last year Cam started playing on a recreation Softball team in Bountiful and instantly fell in love with it. And although he wouldn't agree, it seemed to come really naturally and he got good at it fast. He started about the same time we started dating and so our Friday nights were spent at the softball field. I loved it because I have spent many hours at various field watching my dad and
