the wave

today i successfully curled my hair in a perfect beach curl. this is something i have been trying my entire life to to. today, i am having a REALLY good hair day :)

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 :)

truck yeah!

my love for country music has become a little excessive. i might even be turning hick... ah no not that yet! but really though, there is something about Luke, Tim, Scotty and Carrie that just turn something inside me mmmm!

with that slight obsession, this weekend is going to be fabulous! just to be out in the mountains with the hunt family, my country music and no cell service! can i get a hallelujah?! there is nothing i need more than to just be out of the city and away from everything! plus this will be my cute phoebee's first offroading experience. she is a trooper and will do great :)

i should be giving you an update on everything that happened this week... but i would rather do it when i have access to all of my pictures, so stay tuned.

President David O. McKay made this statement: “Man’s greatest happiness comes from losing himself for the good of others.”

And President Thomas S. Monson said, "My brothers and sisters, we are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness—be they family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us."

I honestly believe that you cannot be truly happy unless you are serving others! Today, that is my goal. Today is going to be a really good day! And what a better way to start it off than with some Daylight Dounuts? :)

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!

complete

my heart is full today. 

mckenzie did an amazing job on her farewell talk. she is going to be an amazing missionary! i love her so much and i was definitely touched by the song that was sang by her and noteworthy. beautiful.

i got to go over and see cam's sd card today. he is amazing and simply completes me. i am scatter brained and he gives me structure. i have anxiety and he calms me. i get upset and he makes me the happiest woman in the world. he is my better half.

i read our patriarchal blessings one right after the other today and its amazing the blessings that are promised in both blessings. his is simply amazing and i am so blessed to be able to read it and see these promises come true. mine is perfect for me. cam's is pretty complex, then there is mine, simple and straight forward. i wouldn't want it any other way! 

there is one part i am thinking about. it talks about how i am blessed with a talent of writing and to write down all of my experiences. i have off and on written in a journal, but i wanted to share everything i wrote in there. hence, my blog. i know that some of the things i write in here are very personal and maybe not what a normal person would write for the public to see, but i am an open book and probably will end up just telling you about what i wrote in my journal anyways so i might as well just put it here. i hope ya'll don't mind. 

the lord loves me. life is wonderful. my family is amazing. my sweetheart is coming home soon.

and i am happy :)

temple :)

i have no idea why it took me so long to get my butt back to the temple! But I am sure glad I did!

what an amazing place that the Lord has given us. the trials i went through and experiences i had in the process of getting my recommend was all worth just this one visit. my heart is definitely full!

i have started the countdown. 191 days till I go through the temple and 196 days before I am sealed to the love of my life!! :) I seriously just can't wait to go through!

Church lovin days :)

Sometimes I just have a really good church day. Today was one of them :) not only was I able to go to ward council, listen to amazing talks, get caught up in paying my tithing, finally understand the allegory of the olive tree and have a great talk with bishop, but I also finally got my recommend renewed!! :) temple here I come!!

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!

Happy Fourth :)

All day I have been thinking back to when Cameron was here for the Fourth of July and how much fun that was! That day was jam packed and I loved it. If you missed it, take a look see here. This will be my last one without him! Next year we will be married.... too excited!

This year has been wonderful so far. We woke up extremely early to go get daylight donuts and head over to Provo to watch the balloons. It has always been one of my favorite parts. Then off to Denny's for breakfast, no one was really up to going to the parade this year. Then we bought this pool... haha yeah, we will get to that in a moment, and went home to get everything ready for the family to come over.

So this pool is 16'x16' so pretty big right? Well we set it up and start filling it up... lets just say a couple of hours later we are still in the process of filling it up. I guess we didn't realize how long it takes to fill up 3000 gallons of water... haha.

The family came over and we had the pool and the water slide up like usual. My family is so great and I am so blessed! Everyone had a blast and it was just so great! Now we are getting ready to go to the Stadium of Fire where I get to see my dearest Scotty McCreery. I may be a creeper, but I sure do love him and couldn't be any more excited! :) I will post after!

Happy 4th of July everyone! :)

shwimmin :)

I bought the cutest swimsuits two days ago and i just love them so much!

I think i will go home and just wear one all night tonight, because i love them that much :)

yay for ward pool parties on Saturday!

time.

it is now 146 days until my sweetheart comes home to me and i may or may not be freaking out already!

but it is 5 days until my race and i am definitely freaking out! not in the way I thought i would be though. i couldn't be more excited to go out and run! i have missed it while i was sick and tomorrow i get to go run again! on saturday i will accomplish one of my biggest goals ever. :) it's already a pretty good feeling, just to know how far i've come.

today has been a really good day so far. letters, emails, ab workout, compliments that were needed, work going by fast and pretty smoothly, not being sick anymore, beautiful day, moving desks... and it is still only 4:30 :) yay for a great day.

we will just ignore shiface.... too fake to even worry about anyways.

have a lovely night ladies and gents!

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)

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!

the weather channel

it is days like today that really make you not want to be stuck in an office building. leaving early to change into shorts and go to a baseball game?

yes please!

sarah ella :)

This would be my beautiful niece Sarah Ella Tomlinson. Born April 18, 2012 7 lbs. 11.5 oz and 19 inches. This little angel is PERFECT. I adore her more than I probably should. She is the sweetest little thing. She hardly cries and is just peaceful. I was able to hold her for a long time yesterday while Jamie and Clint took naps. I also got to change her first diaper, I realize that might be a little weird, but I loved it! She sneezes a lot and it has to be the cutest thing ever. Mom and baby are doing so well and there have been no complications, except for maybe Jamie being completely out of it yesterday. But that was beyond her control haha and entertainment for us. What a blessing to our whole family. 

I wish Cam could have been here, we all do. I would not have been able to get him out of the hospital, let alone take her out of his hands. I can not wait till he gets to meet her. He just loves babies and kids, and it is probably best he isn't here, because we both are already TOO baby hungry for our own goods. I can't wait to get his reaction from the pictures and videos I will send to him though. 

I love Babies, and I have the cutest nieces and nephews. Don't even try to fight me on that, I will destroy you :)

Goodbye Alabama

I could not ask for a better company to work with such amazing opportunities. My trip to Alabama really made me more excited about what I do and where I want to go with this company. It was motivating for sure. I always saw my job as just something to get me through my first few years of marriage and nothing I was really committed to, but now, I really want to grow with this company and move to higher positions, which I know is definitely within my reach if I work really hard. Plus, the whole dressing professional thing is something I may want to pick up and use more often :)

Alabama is just beautiful. If there wan't all the wind and tornados (because you all know I have a problem with those) I would move there in a heartbeat. Everything is green and its so easy to run there! I loved it and I am definitely going to miss it! I have been so blessed and I know that if I just keep doing what's right, these experiences will keep coming. I know I am being blessed because of Cam's service as well. We are doing pretty good :)

And, I am blogging on my flight home while listening to country, technology these days is unreal.
