WAITING, Waiting, waiting...

We made it to UTAH... and we spent our first morning here hanging out with the doctor. As it is every time you go to the doctor, we had to wait for a bit, so, what did I do to pass the time? I took pictures with my fancy shmancy new phone, of course!

You can tell who the mature one in the relationship is! 

Keeping it real,

Christmas time in the city

With a big move and an even bigger surgery this Christmas season we won't be celebrating at our house by trimming the tree and hanging some mistletoe. So, while I have a temporary home and a hubby that isn't in the hospital I'm going to take in as much holiday spirit as I can!

Happy holidays to you!

Frozen

I'm probably seven years old, but I am obsessed with Disney's newest movie Frozen.

 Try and tell me I don't look just like her!

The red hair. The bangs. The weird faces. 

Freaky, right? 

We're practically the same person and I've never been so excited in my whole life.

Also, please feast your ears on this piece of musical genius.

Thank you Disney for pleasing the child in all of us.

Thanksgiving Tales

Getting married means splitting holidays between families and this year we had Thanksgiving with the whole Lish clan. I mean, thirty five people at a table kind of a clan! I was nervous. I had only met most of these people once or twice and I was expected to share my stuffing with them. I'm not very good at sharing stuffing! But, I put on my big girl pants, and tried to act civil. It was so much fun. No, let me try that again--- IT WAS SO MUCH FUN... and I didn't have to fight anyone for stuffing. Katie brought one of her friends from Thailand who has only been in America for a few months and, heaven bless her, I think she's been scarred for life. She forgot her pajamas and Grandma told her, "Oh don't worry, you can sleep naked! We don't care." It turns out Thai people don't take comments like that very well. We all got a good laugh out of it despite her embarrassment.

Thursday was Turkey Day and we started it off with family pictures. There must be something wrong with me because I love pictures! Getting married was the best decision of my life because I got to pose for about a million and a half pictures that day. Anyway, like it always seems to happen, after about 10 pictures the rest of the family was ready to call it quits and I was just getting my SMIZE down. Tyra would have been proud. Unfortunately, because I'm growing out my bangs I look like a well-dressed sheepdog in most of them. Live, learn, and eat more turkey. 

Here's to the model in all of us,

Merry Early Christmas

Matt surprised me at work on Wednesday with a bit of Christmas to make my day! Not only did I get to show his handsome face off to my lady friends, but he brought me my first present of the season- the iPhone 5S gold!!! Talk about an upgrade! I had been using the iPhone 3 for the past six months, which, actually is the worst. Let's just say I've been taking advantage of the front facing camera. Selfies for days, people. Selfies for days. 

Decisions, decisions, decisions

I haven't had a chance to really update everyone on the craziness of our lives. August was a hard month for us. Matt was trying to decide where to go to school and more importantly what he wanted to do with his life. It went a little like this:

• We were staying in Vegas
• We were moving to Rexburg
• We were staying in Vegas
• We were moving to Rexburg and then moving to Provo
• We were moving to Salt Lake
• We were staying
• We were moving
• We were staying
• We were staying
• We were moving
• We were confused!!!

I wanted to move away. It's not that I don't like Vegas; I just miss my family. I miss my friends. I MISS TREES! Mostly, I'm just a big baby. I tried to stay neutral, though, because I didn't want him to make a decision solely to please me. 

Then, he chose BYU. I didn't even think that was a real option. 

You see, things are a bit tricky for us. 

Matt has Crohn's disease.

Crohn's disease is aggravated by stress.

College is stressful.

We wanted to make a decision that was best for his health.

Then it hit us- WE CAN'T PLAN OUR LIVES AROUND HIS HEALTH!!! 

That's ridiculous!

So, we chose what will give us the best future.

Provo, here we come!

Proof

Out with the bangs, in with the new.

P.S. Sometimes Matt has a tricky time keeping his eyes open all the way. I promise he looks like a real person most of the time! And for me, well, that's pretty much what I look like all the time! 

Yours Truly,

Cami
