singing

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer…. take one down. pass it around.

tomorrow there will be 98 bottles of beer on the wall.

.... i feel like this song is going to be stuck in my head for the next 99 days. 

drunk on love :)

Hunt Family Reunion

lets just say that the hunt family is so great! i love them to death. i was able to go to their family reunion this weekend as cameron's stand in. i went to the last reunion and lets be honest, i was scared out of my mind! i could not remember everyone's names for the life of me and we really just kept to ourselves most of the time. with cam not there, i really had to just be me and get to know everyone. i was extremely shy and nervous at first, but then i remembered how chill and loving their family is. i ended up having the best time with them.

i really got to know ryan and megan the most down there. i have grown such a respect for ryan and we were able to talk alot and he was so nice to me. i already consider all of them family. they may swear and drink and get crazy... but i laughed non stop and am so grateful for the loving people they are! 

noelle was nice enough to take me on a little adventure up to our camping spot two years ago and we found my tree! you see, two years ago at the hunt reunion, he was being a little but head and just kept pouting so i stopped talking to him for a bit haha. he finally realized he was being dumb so he grabbed my hand and took me down in the forest and told me to sit there and not talk. haha. he carved our names in the tree and i loved it! we found the tree and i added a few little things to it. it is so weird to see that and think it was two years ago we had been there in that very spot! not to mention how much we have changed... but our love has just grown and grown with time! 

it was such an amazing weekend that i didn't have service, was in the beautiful mountains and around all of the people that remind me of Cam :)

to the max

The past two weeks I can honestly say have been the most stressful weeks of my life! So please excuse my broken out face, excessive eating and moody attitude... i just need a moment.

Thank you to the temple, prayer, my family and my Heavenly Father because I am finally finding clarity and direction. There are many changes going on with me and I am not ready to release them all but stay tuned... there could be big news!

As for my sweetheart, I still love him more than anything! We are happy and in love. And here comes the big BUT.... he is stressing me out just a little with all the wedding stuff. Don't get me wrong, I want to marry him more than anything, but I am learning that I just don't deal well with things that are rushed, and I don't see why we need to rush anything. Plus I can't handle the stress of planning a wedding right now, there are things I still need to figure out. I wrote him this week letting him know that we both need to still focus on ourselves individually and then we will work on us together when he gets home and just being happy and having fun as a pre-married couple :) It will all be good and the end goal is still being sealed in the temple, and it doesn't matter when that is!

Today I am going to let go of all the stress and just get my life back in order. Today, I am getting back to HAPPY!

he gives me butterflies!

when I watch this...

I end up looking like this....

he just gives me butterflies :) i mean how could you not love that face and smile and laugh? mmm!

nothing's ever awkward....

so usually im not awkward about things/situations...

but it's that awkward moment when i accidently call cam my husband in front of his parents...ugh.

at least they laughed right?

Boots

i sure haven't been in cam's room for a long time.

it still smells like him. my favorite!

then i found his precious cowboy boots he bought in Edinburg. 

my feet only fit in half of them, but i tried them on anyways :)

im really excited for him to be home wearing these instead of me!

Spoiled little boy

yes there are only four more months left. i still remember the day i said goodbye! i can't believe how fast it is going....

but there are still some days that feel like forever or a week that just will not end.

cam knows how i feel, and sometimes it can be hard.

he is so focused on the work and what he is doing, but inside, we are both just wanting to be in each other's arms. lets face it.

we miss each other!

But we are so close and we can't let it get to us so I sent cam two huge packages this week with tons of memories to go with the things I put inside. I know it will make him so happy and he just needed the little bit of happiness to keep him going till the end! I can't wait to hear about what he thought!

the things i do for this boy. :)

perfection.

allow me to boast just a tad bit. warning: this is yet another post about love. read with caution.

this man right here...

is the definition of perfection. why? well... let me just list a few things for you.

• he has this giggle that is contagious and is basically the cutest thing ever.
• he knows me in a way that no one ever could. he knows everything about me and still loves me anyways.
• he knows how i work. i am such a different person when it comes to my thoughts and actions. he is the only one who has figured me out without asking and knows how to handle me so that im always happy.
• he just wants to be happy and have fun. no need to have any drama.
• he is the perfect best friend. always there, an amazing listener, tells me when im being dumb, laughs at my dumb jokes, knows all my favorite things and never leaves my side.
• he loves the Lord more than anything, including me. 
• he has the most amazing testimony and is firm in his faith and beliefs. not to mention such an amazing missionary.
• even though he is miles and miles away, he can still make me happy and feel his love in every single letter he writes.
• he never gives up on anything.
• he is always positive and happy in any situation. 
• he is big and strong and unbelievably handsome..mmm!

he is mine and i am his and we are in love :) 125 more days till i have this man back in my arms! i simply cannot wait.

finally caught up

looking for a love story to read? want to know more about me and cameron? you're in luck!

i happened to just get all caught up with me and cam's love story. so if you have a while to read a mushy gushy novel looky here!

another goal down. 4 months early too! wooohoooo!

pretty sunday mornings

please excuse me while i write down a few of my thoughts...

as much as i have loved cameron being on his mission and the blessings that have come from his service, it really just sucks sometimes. today i start the count down to four months until he gets home and although that seems so close, i'm about done with this whole distance thing. the thoughts of seeing him at the airport almost literally kill me. i want it to be now. i want him home, in my arms. happy and in love. but i must wait and we still are happy and in love.

it doesn't help either that all of our friends are getting married and engaged daily. not an exaggeration. i see all of their pictures and how happy they are and again... i want him to be home. i am already tired of just planning ours, i want to start doing things, but it is too soon and that is another thing i must wait for. waiting is such a weird phase, and according to my patriarchal blessing, patience is a virtue i have... guess i should use it.

me and cam talk a lot about how hard satan is working on us. and it is noticeable. this week especially i just wanted to run away and hide from him! but the Lord is always there helping us and getting us through. we will do great things and we are way too strong for satan to break us. plus with a man like cam to lean on, i shouldn't have any fear.

i didn't get his letter this week, which is actually humbling. as much as i needed it, the lord knows what he is doing and it will come at the right time.

my race is in two weeks, which is crazy to think about but i am actually pretty excited! yesterday's run was pretty good and i feel like I am accomplishing so much.

life is good. and patience is a virtue.

tingles

sometimes i think about...

his big hands,
his height,
his hazel eyes,
his smile,
his tan skin,
his thick hair,
his strong legs,
his amazing hugs,
and the light in his being...

and i get butterflies all over again.

:)

missing him

i haven't had a melt down in a really long time. of course i miss Cameron all the time but not to the point of breaking down. something about that song mixed with the happiness of love and marriage hit me and yep, i lost it. i knew it was coming, just wasn't ready for it to be at that moment today.

having a missionary boyfriend out isn't easy. saying goodbye to each other was probably the hardest thing we have ever had to do. i had someone tell me today that he "left" me here alone and basically judged him for doing that, note this person is not a member and doesn't know the true purpose for a mission, but it really made me upset. my reaction? i support him 110% and would not have it any other way, and i mean that.

when you find the person you are meant to spend eternity with, you just know and nothing will get in your way of being with them. yes, two years is a long time and it's very hard, but i know that in the end it will all be worth it. that moment in the airport when i see his face for the first time and am in his arms, it is a moment i dream about. and when i finally get to be sealed to him for all eternity, that is when everything that we are going through will be all worth it.

i miss him, but i love him enough to wait. he is mine and i am his.

happy thoughts

so much has happened in the past week so if long readings aren't your fancy, you should probably stop here. if not, please keep reading.

friday i heard my sweet cam's voice! he called to let us know when he would be calling on sunday. he is too funny and definitely the same cam. he first called us on his bike and he couldn't hear us because of all the wind. he "thought it would be cool to talk to us on his bike." such a boy, but i love him :) He even farted in the phone... he is going to fit right in with my family! after talking to him i went with his family to the store where me and cody kept racing our carts through walmart and bashing them into each other. it was pretty funny and we made sure to send the videos to cam.

saturday i went running with misty, kellie, scott and sterling. i didnt' die! i actually did pretty good which i am super proud of! i then got ready for a bridal shower for kenzie and finally got to meet brandon. he for sure knew me which is weird but i think he approved. i went with noelle and grandma jolley....oh grandma jolly. haha that's all i can say. then i planted my mom's garden and it turned out so pretty! me and kaylie even did a tour for cam... i will post that later. it's pretty bad haha. we went and saw the Avengers... holy moly that is a freaking good movie!!! woah! I could watch that over and over. Thor is just beautiful. am i not right? mmmmmmm! :) cam is going to love that movie when he gets home!

sunday. mother's day. :) i curled my hair and went to church with my family. then got everything ready for the family to come over but i had to get over to noelle's for cam's phone call!

if you tend to get nauseous from mushy gushy lovey dovey stuff, you should probably skip this section.

i love the sound of cam's voice. everything about it makes me happy :) we talked to him on speaker phone for almost an hour. that was wonderful! there were so many people there and two of his best friends were there and it was so cute listening to them! i would talk here and there. he then said "sky, are you still just turning into a toothpick?" haha i told him no :) everyone put in their little comments about it and then he started saying something but then stopped and said i would get mad at him if he said it. everything he said just made me smile. I couldn't help it! I am in love with that man! Then it was finally time to talk to him individually. Cody went first and then me :) i got on the phone and was like, "HI!" hahaha he just giggled and I asked him how he was and he said, "I'm good now! Im talking to you, you're so cute" I asked him what he was going to say and he was going to say that i was getting too skinny for him. that is not true and i let him know how amazing he is looking. we talked about him seeing maggie and her calling me. we started talking about how fast time has just flown and how proud we were of each other. he was just being too dosh dane cute! I couldn't handle it! he talked to me about how close we are and how satan is going to work on us the hardest these last few months because he knows what the plans are after he gets home. his giggle is seriously my favorite thing in the world and i said to him, "i kill you" hahaha and he about died it was so cute! He hasn't heard me say that in a long time. i just loved how even though we were saying goodbye we were laughing and just happy! we told each other how happy we were and how good we are both doing. i am in love. we said goodbye and i had to leave. i am going to marry that man. he is my life and my best friend!

today at lunch, the song "just the way you are" came on and noelle said that the song made her sad and i wanted her to tell me why but she would get teary eyed while trying to explain. finally i made her spit it out and she said "I know how much that song meant to cam and I know how hard it was for him to leave you here." Yep... I was done. I love him.

anyways, my talk with him was the best ever. we honestly have the best relationship in the world and i don't doubt it one bit. i am marrying him no matter what.

mother's day was so wonderful after that with all the family. I am so blessed!

Cam's email was just amazing as well. he says the cutest things and i am just too happy for words.

life is wonderful! i honestly just feel so blessed to have the family, friends and things that i have. now i just have to quit eating everything in the world and i will be good :)

simply happy

i am happy.

that's really it. pure happiness. it is WONDERFUL. why am i so happy?

im in love :)

i am in love with the man of my dreams who is coming home to me in less than 6 months. that makes me happy to think about every single day. plus i get to hear his voice tonight and talk to him! it seriously just takes all of me to control myself from running around singing and dancing! i am really turning into this giddy little girl! but i just can't help it :)

i am in love with life. my life. and my future. things are just looking up right now and i couldn't be happier with it! :) i have been blessed!

i just love everything!

hahahaa LOVE ALL THE THINGS! :) (if you are a pinterest user, you probably understand)

days of wonderful

Yesterday I got a surprise call from Maggie, my cute friend in Edinburg, Texas saying that she had just talked to Cam! She was going to see him as we spoke, he is staying in Edinburg for a few days. Lucky duck! She is such a sweetheart though and sends me pictures and videos of my cute boy. Look at him! He is so freaking skinny and looking just wonderful :) I may have been just giddy and happy in every way possible last night. I am in love :)

We have come so far in so many ways individually as well as a couple. He is my example and he tells me I am his. I am so proud of us and we still have 6 more months to get ourselves to exactly where we want to be. 

This bottom picture is of me two years ago vs. me today. I always saw a major change in Cam, but had never realized the change that I was making as well. These past few months have been rough trying to stay motivated to reach my goals and not going back on everything I had already accomplished. These pictures are my definite motivation to keep going.

I guess you could say I am a pretty happy girl right now :)

Quite Eventful

Yesterday turned out to be an eventful Saturday!

Tanning to start the day off right.

Bike ride with Kaytlin. We started in Lindon and went up to Vivians Park in Provo Canyon and back. It was beautiful and so much fun! Which is crazy to say because usually I get scared on bikes and I did pretty dang good! It made me want to be adventurous more often.

Fast run to Zupas for lunch mmmm :)

Then we made our way up to the SuperCross races in Salt Lake. It was so much fun! They were nuts. Go Tony Dungy, that was an unreal race! He was started out in 5th, made his way to 2nd with 2 laps to go and he seemed so far behind that there was no way he was going to catch up with only that many laps to go. All of a sudden, last lap he did pass him and got 1st! 

Getting out of that place was ridiculous! I was hungry, tired and ready to go streaking through the parking lot! 

I ended my night with a wonderful PB&J and then off to bed. 

Oh, did I mention I got a letter? :)

That is enough to make any day better! I could not be more in love with that man!! I can't wait to tell him about all my adventures and the things that I am willing to try when he gets home, like snowboarding and bow shooting. he will be so proud :) 196!

Two Hundred Day

Happy Two Hundred Day!

Today marks 200 days until I get to see my best friend again!! Time is flying by and I could not be happier! Even though today wasn't the best day of my life, by a long shot, I still enjoyed thinking of all our memories and the future to come! For lunch we went to Ihop and laughed over memories and I basically ate everything in the world today, but its okay because I miss my best friend and he would have wanted me to go all out.... it's one of the reasons he fell in love with me :) I just can't wait for the day I get to be in his arms again. Summer, please go by fast!
