Merry Christmas!

Today I feel extremely grateful.

I love that Christmas was on a Sunday this year.

It really helped to keep the focus on the Savior.

Today in sacrament meeting I felt the spirit so strong as I listened to talks on the true meaning of Christmas and to beautiful Christmas songs sung by the choir. 

Today I was reminded of how wonderful it feels to give a thoughtful gift. 

I can only imagine the joy that our Savior feels when we take the gift he's given us and use it with excitement.

I was also reminded that Christmas isn't about the gifts or the decorations or any of that fun stuff, it's about the gratitude we feel for one another and for our Savior.

No matter how hard or bad things can get, we are always offered a gift of peace and love...the atonement. 

I guess I'm grateful for Christmas and for the reminder of what's really important.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you enjoy your holiday with loved ones and gratitude! :)

Love you all...

Families are forever :)

Ornament Tradition.

I love Christmas traditions.

Christmas traditions put the spirit of love in the air.

Every year my family goes ornament shopping.

We each pick out an ornament that represents something significant from that year.

I love this tradition so much.

Our tree holds more than beauty.

It holds years of memories and love.

Our family tree :)

 My ornament. Represents Hawaii :)

 Cecilee's ornament. Looks like her and represents her first hair color streak :)

 Trevor's Ornament. Represents high school off campus lunch, and his goal to gain weight :)

Sydnee's Ornament. Represents cheer :)

My parents haven't yet found an ornament. 

I love this tradition so much. 

I plan to carry this tradition on to my own family one day.

Thank you Mom for carrying this tradition on in our family.

I have one great family, and an amazing Mom!

This week.

This week.

Highlights:

• Went Christmas shopping! I love getting gifts for people I love. I wish I had no limit to my spending and my creativity!
• Took family pictures. I love capturing our family in time. :)
• Had a heart to heart talk with first my Aunt and role model, and then another one with my boy, Jeff :) both play a big role in my life, and I am so grateful for both!
• Got to go shopping with my mom and best friend! I love the time we get to spend together, especially when we are shopping ;)
• I got to work/hang out with my sister! That is a rare occasion, but I absolutely love it when it happens.
• Kalamity try outs! SCARY! I still don't know if I made it, so everyone cross your fingers and say a prayer for me.
• Was treated to Red Lobster by Jeffrey, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :) sooooo goooooood!
• Saw "The Warrior" and it was a great movie!
• Had a fun little sleep over with Major (hahahahahahahhahaa I LOVE THAT KID!)
• Had laughs and warm moments with my family, gosh I love them so incredibly much!
• And to top off my week I had an amazing day at church! I'm richly blessed and I know it!

Opposite of highlights (I can't think of a word for that right now, guess that's what not going to college does to you haha)

• We lost an adorable puppy, Roxy. I won't go into detail but it broke my heart. That is one reason why I don't want to have a dog when I'm out on my own. 
• Christmas shopping, although I LOVE IT, sucked my wallet dry :(
• Went home sick from work for the first time EVER.
• Still just trying to figure everything in my life out. I'm learning more and more just to roll with the punches and make the most of every situation. Cause there is always joy to be found in every situation. Life is just life, it really is what we make it.

I am so blessed. I really love my life. I know that even in hard times there will always be more highlights then lowlights (haha).  It's as the scripture goes, "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy." We are the way we are to find joy, we all just have to look in our own way with the Lord's help and eventually we will see nothing but joy. :) I'm learning that slowly but surely.

Kalamity.

I have been a part of Kalamity for over a year and a half now and it has been nothing short of AMAZING. 

But recently I have had the hardest time figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing with my life.

I've tried to fix the college situation and it turns out it costs more money than I have.

I don't want to work at Pizza Factory the rest of my life.

 I want to have more experiences and really be able to find what I want to do career wise.

I just want to live.

So lately I've been trying to figure out if I can really commit to Kalamity again for a whole year.

I won't be going to college for a little while longer.

I will still be working at Pizza Factory.

I will still have my car payment and insurance payment.

And I will still be here.

I LOVE KALAMITY!

I don't ever want to give it up.

Just the thought of not being a part of it breaks my heart.

But really, my heart literally hurts every time I think about it and my eyes can't help but leak.

Since I've been on Kalamity, I have become a better dancer and a better person.

I've learned how to deal with life as it comes.

I've learned the importance of communication.

I've learned to love more deeply.

I've learned to feel more fully.

I've learned to literally dance in the middle of the storm.

And I've learned that there is always someone else out there that has it worse than I so I need to be grateful and serve any way I can.

I don't know what to do. All I know is whatever I decide to do, I will do it with my best foot forward, being fully committed. Right about now I am wishing that the Lord would send a pillar of fire or a vision telling me what to do, but I know my answer will come from him in a way that I will know.

In the meantime of thinking...LAST NIGHTS BENEFIT CONCERT FOR JEANETTE BRACKEN WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! To say the least.

Kalamity and Kaos have worked their butts off the whole year for this one event.

We have put in countless hours, gallons of sweat, tears here and there, and even blood sometimes, just to make this show the best it can be. 

We've done date night babysitting, yard sales, college dances, kids dance camps, and more just to raise awareness and money for our girl, Jeanette Bracken.

We've prayed with humbled hearts before and after every gathering.

But most importantly, we've put our faith in the Lord.

Because anything is possible with the Lord.

Just in this last year we have put on SIX different benefit concerts, we've raised over $30,000 for these different "calamities," and that's not even including Jeanette's concert.

We've opened a studio and are doing amazing with that.
We've done too many performances to count.
We even did a flash mob.

And we've been nothing but dedicated to doing our best in every thing.

Kalamity is life changing. 

Not only for the people we raise money for, but mostly for the people involved so heavily with it, like me.

I am so grateful for Kalamity and for what it is in my life.

I know that it has changed me and will continue to change me forever.

So if you are in St. George tonight, Please come to support Kalamiy and Kaos, and most importantly Jeanette Bracken. And I can promise you will not regret it!

Kalamity and Kaos with Jeanette Bracken!

Don't you dare forget it.

Amazing: startling impressive; astonishing - astounding - wonderful - surprising

I know everyone forgets how amazing they are every once in a while. I know I do. I know I say this a lot, but it's important to remember who you are and love yourself. These last few months have been really hard! Like extremely hard. Trying to figure out so many things. I keep asking myself when does it ever get easier? But I think I know the answer. It doesn't. And it's supposed to be that way. That's how we become more and more amazing. WE LIVE AND LEARN.

Lately I've kind of gotten bugged easily with everything. People ask me questions about my life that I don't have answers to yet and it kind of hurts deep inside. I've always been the type of person that likes to have a plan, likes to have all the answers in front of me, likes to KNOW. And every day I realize more and more that I don't know anything really.  Talk about an eye opener. I make mistakes. I say and do stupid things. I don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up. I don't know what I'm going to do about my whole college situation. I don't know when I will get married. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing at this stage of life. I don't know my favorite movie. I don't even know what my dream is. But you know what...it's okay. All amazing things come line upon line, precept upon precept, like a testimony for instance. I know the Lord loves me, even though I don't know anything and I make mistakes. I know that if I rely on Him, He will help me. 

Short story. The other day I was feeling hurt deep inside, like I mentioned earlier, so I prayed. I prayed hard. I prayed for comfort more than anything and you know what? My prayer was answered, the Spirit warmed my heart by whispering, "It's okay Cam, the Lord still loves you." I felt my Savior's arms wrapped around me and I knew everything was going to be alright. Words can't even describe the peace I felt. In that moment I realized that I am amazing, and I can't ever forget it if I am going to show the world how amazing I am. Sure times are going to be hard, everyone has something hard they are going through, and there are other people who have it worse than you. But if you keep your faith in the Lord and keep moving forward with hope, it will all be amazing. Cause it's true, the future is only as bright as your faith. 

I know this post is kind of random and maybe doesn't even make sense, but it's for me more than anyone else. All I know is I will be okay! :) This song gives me a feeling of peace. It's beautiful so hopefully you like it.

Happiness.

Today I feel like talking about happiness.

What is happiness?

According to the dictionary it is a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

But of course it is so much more than that.

Happiness to me...

Happiness is waking up every morning to the hustle and bustle of my family getting ready for the day.

It's my mom's homemade breakfast.

It's the opportunity to talk to my Father in Heaven and feel His peace.

Happiness is smiles that brighten the world.

It is sunshine and blue skies.

It's color.

It's love.

It's hope.

Happiness is seeing the people you love every day.

Happiness is laughing over things that are really not that funny.

It's trying new things.

It is finding the best in every situation.

It's smiling through thick and thin.

Happiness is being with your special someone.

It's giving gifts for no reason.

It's loving everyone you meet.

It's sweet.

It savours.

It sanctifies.

But one important thing to remember is:

Happiness doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it simply means you choose to look beyond the imperfections.

One thing to remember is...life isn't going to be easy and it isn't going to be perfect. There are going to be many times when life slaps you in the face and you want to give up. Always remember that things will happen that you don't really have any control over, but you always have control over your attitude. Happiness is ultimately a choice. It's simple really...You have two choices...

to be happy or to not.

So what do you choose?? :)

The Husband Store.

I was looking at my Mom's blog book that I got her last year for Christmas and I stumbled across this funny post and I just had to share. 

So enjoy! Hopefully you get a good laugh!

It is call "The Husband Store" and it goes like this...

*********************

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs. She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31, 456, 012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a Wives Store just across the street...
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

 **********************

Don't be afraid to pass it on if you liked it! :) 

Time.

What is time?

Time is constant and non-stop.

It never takes a break, it just keeps passing.

We try so hard to keep track of it with clocks and calendars but in reality, it can't be kept in track.

I remember when I was little and how time had no effect on me.

I just lived.

I lost track of time watching Aladdin over and over, then to hunting for lady bugs, then riding bikes around Ivins, then pretending to be models with D'Asia, then playing soccer on Dixie Lightning every day, then eventually you hit a point where you feel like you have no time.

I guess all of this is a part of growing up.

But don't you ever wish for a day when time didn't have a hold on you?

Like the days when you were a kid?

I know I do.

So here are a few tips to making the most of every day, to not be a prisoner of time.

1. Stop worrying about things that may or may not happen in the future, and enjoy today.

2. Appreciate the people, things, and opportunities you have in your life.

3. Be kinder than necessary.

4. Ask yourself, "What do I want today?" and go for it!

5. Try your hardest at everything you do, even if it doesn't work out, always be able to say you gave it your best.

6. Focus only on the positive.

7. Say thank you as often as you can.

8. Do something nice for someone else for no reason at all.

9. Tell people how much they mean to you. Don't wait!

10. NEVER forget the Lord in all things!

 I think a lot of times I relate to this picture. Time goes so fast and at times I feel like I'm left standing on the side, holding my head, thinking where is time going?

Remember you always have time for the important things in life. You always have time to give your Mom a big hug, or tell your Dad you love him, or show your siblings how important they are to you in simple ways, like making them chocolate milk. 

You always have time!

I heard something in church last week that really stuck in my mind, it went like this, "..if you really believe you don't have time to do the things you need to then something needs to change. Cut out the worst thing in your life and you'll have time to fill it with the best things, the things you need..."

Just a little food for thought.

The Girl.

I've got City and Colour on the brain. If you don't know who they are...don't worry I will show you!

One of my favorite songs from them is called "The Girl" (click to check them out)

It's one of my favorite songs cause it's absolutely beautiful and simple.

I'm so excited...I'm going to their concert this Friday 11-11-11 :)

Did I mention it's my first concert EVER? 

I know, I'm lame. 

But the point of this post is...I'M EXCITED!!

The Girl

I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.

Life as I know it...

I love my life.

It's crazy. It's up and it's down. It's clear and then confusing. 

But I guess that's why I love it.

Lately...I love not going to school, I like to dream that I never have to go back.

I love spending the mornings with my mom. She really is one of my best friends.

I'm really excited about my new fashion blog.  Click here to check it out!

I love my job...mostly because I choose to. I know I need the money so why not be happy and love it?

I love Jeff...he makes every day a little brighter, and I am so grateful for him.

I love my family, they are always joking around and making me laugh. I am so blessed to have them. I would be lost without them!

I love Kalamity. Our show is coming up! December 2nd and 3rd for Jeanette Bracken!

(Get your tickets from me NOW! Trust me...You don't want to miss it! Kalamity shows are AMAZING)

I love trials. I love the humility they bring and the opportunity to get to know yourself and the Lord better.

I love the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It brings joy. It brings peace. It brings understanding. It brings eternal happiness. 

I love my Savior and the everlasting atonement that saves and motivates me.

I know I am a daughter of God and He loves me.

I'm so grateful for my life. I know I'm truly blessed...

I may not always see what's coming next...but I know I can be happy through it all!

Fashion blog.

Well...I did it! My fashion blog is up and running. It's still a huge work in progress (to say the least) but it's there now! Click here to check it out, if you like it then follow it! Simple enough. I am open to any suggestions, feedback, criticism, anything...so if you have anything to say, please share! Thanks!

Feelings.

 Sometimes I like to look for quotes or thoughts that make me "feel." That may sound strange, but I know that feeling is important. It is so important! I feel that we were sent to this earth to "feel" our way back to heaven. Without feelings we wouldn't be able to really progress or enjoy life or really experience anything. Feelings help to make up us. The good, the bad, and the ugly, all aspects are important. Anyway, these are my top picks of quotes or thoughts that made me feel grateful for everything I am able to do, for all the things I am able to feel, and for everything in general. Hopefully these little quotes will brighten your day a little like they did mine! :)

Happy Birthday to the GREATEST woman I know!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, talented, amazing Mom! I can't believe she is finally 25 ;) aka 42! My mom's birthday was on the 18th...I know I'm a little late....but I just wanted to blog about my wonderful mother real quick! My mom is the best person I know, she is not only my mom but she is my best friend. I know that I can always count on her for anything! She is always giving and for her birthday I wanted to give her something nice! So for her birthday I got her a bag and filled it with gifts like her favorite treats, a homemade CD, an eyelash appointment with the one and only Latisha Springer, a cute shirt that totally looks like her, and a video of all my family saying things they love about her that Jeff made! It was a nice heartfelt gift from all of my family, I was just the master mind! She is really one of the greatest people I know, and she brightens every room she steps in to! I love her with my whole heart and I am so grateful that she is my mom!

 My gorgeous Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you!

Happy Birthday Babe!

Jeff is now 22 years old, as of Wednesday, October 5th! Crazy! Time flies soooo fast! Well I've been thinking about what to get Jeff for the last 6 months. (I get a little crazy when it comes to gift giving.) But I feel that I came up with an awesome idea...but that could just be me? I believe that birthdays should be big. Everyone should feel special on their birthday, it's their day! So I planned a date for Jeff's birthday, just for fun, as a way that would explain the gifts I got him. I started out with a theme..."I love you from your head to your toes..."

*Blue writing is my game/date and the black writing is my commentary/blog.

Happy 22^nd Birthday Jeffrey Preston Hauck! I hope you know how special you are to me…I love absolutely everything about you. I love you from your head to your toes! Speaking of which, I have a fun birthday game we could play in order for you to get your gifts. Its some kind of picture/memory/symbolic scavenger hunt kinda thing. We know how I love symbolism, so this game mixes symbolism in with special places or memories, and then you throw pictures in for fun. When you get it right, (if you get it right) you will get a gift, BUT you cannot, I REPEAT, CANNOT open it until I tell you! Remember…I love you from your head to your toes!

I love you from your head (hair, brain, and everything in and on your head) to your…

The human head stands for honor. After all, the head is the center of knowledge, thinking and learning in the body, and in ancient times it was considered the seat of honor. From the second we met you lost your head for me. (I think that’s an expression commonly used?) Think of a place that we both honor, a place we only enter when our heads are on straight. Definition of honor: high respect, or esteem. 

THE TEMPLE

Once there: you need to watch 1 of the visitor center movies, and take 1 picture of just your head. (Seeing how this is the first step and I love you from your head…hahaha) Then give your girl 1 kiss. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

We watched the Testaments! I loved it! The Spirit was felt, and we were purely happy. Inside and out!

Eyes. I love you from your eyes (and eyebrows, can’t forget those) to your…

Eyes generally symbol foresight, or psychic. This is a place where you see with your eyes something of entertainment. This place reminds me of one of our many perfect days during the summer. I don’t even remember the movie, I just remember enjoying every second with you. The future looked bright, and we only saw each other. I’m so glad that I have pictures to savor that memory. Take a guess where.

Stadium 8 

Once there: you will need to take 2 pictures of you imitating 2 of the faces (mainly eyes) on the “now showing” or “coming soon” advertisements. Then give your girl 2 kisses. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

 We always have fun doing the most random things! :) It's the best!

Ears. I love you from your ears to your…

Ears symbolize receptivity. This is the place where I first really heard you play guitar. Not only that, but I first heard the words from your heart. (This place was also a place for other firsts…)

Our special place on foremaster where we had our first kiss!

Once there: you will need to make up 3 lines to a poem or new song having to do with your 22^nd birthday. I will then take take a recording of you reading it. Then give your girl 3 kisses.  BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

I love being 22.

This is going to be the best year of my life.

I hope to share 22 with you.

(His was longer and with lots of other stuff, but that's the just of it. I couldn't get the clip up, sorry)

Mouth. I love you from your mouth to your…

Communication and self-expression. This place is a place where communication and self-expression was and is always felt. This is a place of a really memorable kiss (something you do with your mouth haha) let me paint you a picture…it was a beautiful summer day, you were in your suit and so was I, there was imitated rain falling on us in the blazing heat. You were lost in the moment and so was I, huge smiles on our faces just before we expressed ourselves with lip to lip communication ;) I bet you’ll never guess where! 

His house, playing on the tramp! But due to rain we stayed in the car for the pictures.

Once there: you will need to take 4 pictures kissing your girl. Then give your girl 4 more kisses. ;) BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

I know it said 4...haha but they were all pretty much the same! :)

Nose. I love you from your nose to your…

The nose is a symbol of prying or meddling curiosity or interference. This place is the carrier of the device that I’ve told you too many interfering information…hahaha as bad as that information was, I know that it always brought us closer together. Somehow it opened my eyes by having them clouded for a time or two. Things may have been stinky for a time, but they are smelling good now! What’s your take on it all birthday boy?? What’s your "reaction" now?

The Verizon Store

Once there: you will need to go inside and find a smart phone. Download the horoscopes app and read your horoscope. Then take 5 pictures of:

1.     The first emotion felt from the horoscope

2.     A thumbs up or down depending on whether it was good or not

3.     You with a pig nose (like when you were a kid haha)

4.     A cute picture just smiling

5.     And one of you and your girl

Then give your girl 5 kisses. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

Hands. I love you from your hands to your…

The hand denotes a pledge of faith, sincerity and justice and it is symbolic of support and strength. Hands…I love your hands. This place is a place where you first reached your hand out to help me up a rock (to the dismay of a blonde ally cat haha) This was the night that started it all.

BHSS Look out!

Once there: take 5 pictures of your hands, and 1 holding mine. Then give your girls 6 kisses. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN!

Shoulders, chest, arms, back. I love you from your shoulders, chest, arms, back to your…

These are all symbolic of hard work. Everything worthwhile takes hard work, like this relationship. This is literally a place where we like to embrace. This is a place where hard work is needed to play softball. This is a place where your shoulders, chest, arms, and back work hard.

Our favorite softball field (we don't really play haha we star gaze! It's just a joke that we play softball cause neither of us could play if we tried!)

Once there: take a recording of you describing the perfect softball game setting. Then give your girl 7 kisses. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

(I couldn't get the clip on...sorry!)

Legs and butt. I love you from your legs and butt to your…

My symbolism for legs and butt…legs get you places and butt keeps you grounded. What I mean is you can go and do anything you want (legs), but it’s always important to stay grounded and remember what’s really important (the butt.) This place is a place where you like to look for clothing that covers your legs and butt. It’s in cyberspace (ebay) but this is your second best place…

TJ Maxx!

Once there: go inside and have your girl pick out 4 outfits you’d never wear, try them on and take pictures of them. Then take 4 leg and butt model pictures. Then of course…give your girl 8 kisses. BUT YOU DON’T GET YOUR GIFT YET…THIS IS FOR FUN! 

 Not all of the pictures were taken (due to the fact that I wasn't in the dressing room taking them haha) so these are all I have.

Toes/Feet. I love you from your toes/feet to your…

My symbolism for feet: service and emulation. Following in the footsteps of our Savior. This place is where we can truly follow Christ by furthering His work and making sacred covenants. This is the place that your parents were sealed together so that you could be born into an eternal family. This is the place that you will one day be sealed to your spouse. This is the place where our Heavenly Father is most pleased with us. This is the place where we can follow in his footsteps. It's all one eternal round (kinda like this game we just played...we started and ended here.)

The Temple!

Once there: enjoy the rest of your night. Take a few more pictures for memories. And give your girl as many kisses as you’d like. Remember…I love you from your head to your toes! Happy birthday babe! It’s almost time to open all your gifts. Wait til your girl tells you!

 22 :)

After my cheesy little game we went and had lunch then went and saw The Help, which is now one of my favorite movies. We chilled for a little, grabbed some dinner and went to finish off my date at the park, where he got to open all of his gifts! :) Starting from his head and going down to his toes! I don't know if Jeff had fun but I sure had fun getting his gifts and putting this cheesy day together. I hope it made him feel loved. I hope he got the message, I love him from his head to his toes, inside and out! 

 The body parts in my trunk haha

 All the parts put together! I'm cheesy I know!

 Got to have light :)

 Head: a fabulous hair cut from the one and only, Teesha Nelson! :) He loves her hair cuts.

 Eyes: a Penn State shirt (his favorite college football team) I got this because he loves to "watch" them play!

 Ears: a motivational CD by football player, Chad Lewis, "Decide Now."

 Nose: cologne of course, Kenneth Cole Reaction, SOOO GOOD!

 Shoulder, Chest, Arms, Back: a shirt that he looked at and liked a lot, so I secretly went back and got it! I'm so sneaky!

 Hands: of course I had to get him a nice guitar. He loves playing guitar. It is kind of a part of him, he will play whenever he feels sad, happy, mad, frustrated, enthused, everything! He's done so much for me I felt that the least I could do is get him something he will cherish and take care of forever. And boy was he excited! He couldn't stop smiling. He had to play it that very second! It made me so happy to see him get to excited and be so grateful for something so simple! :)

 Legs and butt: HAHAHA He's a jean boy, so I just got him a pair of cheap but nice jeans! He loved them, of course!

 Feet/toes: I got him the most comfortable socks ever! :)

Then to top it off...I wrote on a bunch of index cards the things I love about him. Because not only do I love him from his head to his toes, but I love his soul and everything that makes up him. Everyone has one day dedicated to them and their birth, and that is a special day! So why not make them feel special and loved. I hope I was able to make Jeff feel loved! :) Happy 22nd birthday babe! I hope it was the best one yet, with many more to come! :)
