Goodbye #18

Cam and I are Colt fans, mostly Peyton Manning fans. It was a sad day last week when the announcement came that the Colts were going to let Manning go after 14 years together. Cam bought me a #18 Manning jersey for my birthday two years ago so we could match while watching games together (that doesn't happen often). So for Cam's sake, here is our tribute to Peyton Manning.

Good luck Peyton Manning!

The last few months...

I'm really behind on my blogging...again. I forget to update. And now it is well into March and I haven't blogged since December, oops. Life has been really busy and fun the past couple of months. I'll begin with December: 1) Welcome home Elder Wilson!! In December my little brother Jeff completed his 2 year mission in Everett, Washington. The morning of his homecoming talk I flew home and surprised my family. Nobody knew except my dad and Cooper, who picked me up from the airport. It was so fun to see my family and hear Jeff's talk, I missed them all so much!! The only bad part was Cam couldn't come with me on this trip. I played with my family for a few days until Cam and I flew into Denver to spend Christmas with his family. 2) Christmas! Cam and I spent Christmas with his family in his parent's new home in Denver. It snowed so while we were there and it was so weird to see snow for the first time all winter because we don't get snow in Houston:) We went sledding and of course Cam and I popped Ty's new tube! For Christmas Cam gave me a HUGE box and I had no clue what was inside! It took me forever to open because of all the layers of boxes and tape! There were even rocks in the boxes, haha. When I got down to the final box I found a picture of Cam's nephews. I just could not understand why Cam would give me a picture of Bryce and Kyler- as much as I love them I didn't get it. Finally Cam told me to look closer. I did and I saw my deer. For Christmas he had gotten my deer head mounted and it looks awesome (currently up on my living room wall!)!! Thank you to all who helped with this awesome gift! Cam and I also were able to talk to both of our brothers who are serving missions. Logan is in Argentina and my brother, Brad, is in Iowa. It was so great to hear from them! The next day we flew out to Utah to spend the rest of the break with my family. It was a wonderful Christmas break and it was so good to see family and friends! 3) New place! When we came back from Christmas break we moved into our rental house. It was so nice to get everything out of storage boxes and decorate our house. Cam and I are REALLY behind the times and we barely started watching the tv series Lost. Yes, I know that it is a thing of the past, but we decided to start watching it and now we're hooked. The only bad part is we know how it ends, haha. We also started a new semester in school. I am really enjoying this semester so much better than last. Cam has night classes and I have mine during the day while he is at work. 4) Valentines! The week before Valentines came surprised me with a ticket to go home. So the next weekend I flew home and visited my family and friends. It turned out to be the perfect weekend because I was able to go celebrate Schaefer's birthday at Los Hermanos with the girls, attend a family baby blessing and of course go to Cookie Night. Perfect. I have the best husband! 5) Off to the Horse Races! Cam and I discovered a great date night- the Horse Races at Sam Houston Park! We've gone twice and it was so fun! It was both our first time to a horse race so we had NO idea what we were doing! Luckily they have "Rookie Class" to teach newbies how to read the programs and place bets on the horses. I think it was beginners luck because we won like $20, haha. The second trip was with a big group date. We were able to eat dinner and watch the race. Cam and I didn't have as great as luck, we only won $0.40. bad bad. Big winners or not, it was fun and we will for sure go back to the horse races. 6) Spring Break!! Spring break couldn't have come fast enough! Both Cam and I were getting a little burnt out with school! For spring break we are in Utah, but not together:( BOO!! He had to go to southern Utah in no-mans land with his research group for school and begin research for his thesis. I on the other-hand am visiting my family. It is so nice to have nothing to do for a week! Mother and I are running a 10k race in St. George this weekend, which should be nice. I love St. George.
