Black Friday.

Black Friday. Easily the second best holiday of the year. I love being sleep deprived, standing in line for hours, freezing my rear end off, fighting old ladies, standing in the check-out line for ever. Without question it’s a dangerous day to do shopping, I think that is why I enjoy it so much. I enjoy living on the edge. My family takes shopping this day of the year pretty serious too. We lay out a game plan, look and relook through the ads a bazillion times, split up and conquer. This year, we headed over to Logan to do our shopping. My super steals include a quesadilla maker, an amazing pillow, and some sexy cowboy boots. I considered the day a success. It was weird doing my black Friday shopping without my partner in crime, Markel. We have been Black Friday buddies ever since I can remember. One of my favorite Black Friday experiences with her would be our Target experience. We were late arriving to the store, after all we had just destroyed Toys R US, we were clear in the back of the line and had a couple of big items we were trying to grab. So what do we do? We did something everything in America hates. Keep in mind our parents were conquering other stores, they were nowhere in sight. We started yelling “Mom, wait up.” And walked straight though the doors close to the front of the line. I still feel kind of guilty for this incident, but I have repented. Don’t fret. And believe it or not we got all of the items we needed. We rock, I know! Just call us two the best Black Friday shoppers in the history of the universe.

I think they should of casted me to be in all the Target Black Friday commercials because I take it just as seriously. Its like they based them off of my life. Check it out for yourself...

Artistic Touch.

My little sister, Madison, and I can be quite a riot when we get together. For example, just today at lunch my mom and dad were constantly rolling their eyes at the dorky things we were saying and rolling on the floor laughing about. A random things about us, is me and Mad like to communicate using poems and rhymes. Just check out our facebook pages, its stuffed with dumb riddles (especially about the Utah Jazz or Kobe Bryant). For my birthday one year I even got a book filled with Madison's poems. Here are some examples...

Poem 1...

Korver is my favorite man
He is so hot he needs a fan
Boozers name proves hes a drunk
...Maynor better not be a punk
i state again, Kyle is staying
I didn't waste time all these nights praying
11:11, my wish came true
Now this is the end...Boo hoo hoo.

Poem 2
We did some more "research"
and watched a video on K2 church
His dad would always make him toast
he prizes his rock band the very most
In the morning he chomps on Cinnamon toast crunch
...Pb&J's fill his stomach for lunch
On the left, sits his keys
Kyle and Klayton always agree
Mrs. Good was oh so nice
She taught "him" how to write
Never trust KK with a bike
A safer bet would be a trike
Kyle seems accident prone
Like the time he broke his collar bone
Now all i need is time with him alone!

And Our Jazz "theme song" from last year
D-Will is good at passing the ball
Brewer is good with his bad arm
Boozer is good at sucking it up
...Millsap is good off the bench
and Kyle is....HOT!
Almond is good warming the bench
Price is good keeping Almond company
Kirelenko's wife is good at making KK shirts
Okur is good at giving me money
Brevin is good because he has a cool name
and Kyle is....HOT!
Kosta is good at the D-League
Fes is good out back smoking
Harping is good at getting in fights
Collins is good but his twin is better
Miles is good at making the ball fly
and Kyle is...HOT!

Alright, alright. I will admit these are all kinda lame, but me and Mad sure do have a fun time making them up :)
P.s. ask me about the video me and Mad made about our favorite jazz man. Still laughing about that one...

Quote of the Day.

Wedding Bliss.

Yesterday my older sister got married, which means I officially have a brother now. Holla. It was a cold, rainy, windy day. Not only did we practically got blown away waiting outside the temple, but we also got pelted by the rain which in conclusion made us look like orphans who didn't get ready for the day. At the luncheon I had the privilege of being part of the entertainment. I danced to lovely "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash. Lets just put it this way, there is a reason my mom pulled me out of dance class when I was younger and it was clearly displayed yesterday. Afterwards, the reception was pretty, I got to guard and restock the candy bar (best.job.ever.). I am still a little bitter about Court and D-dawg hiding their car. I had some creative decorating ideas for the occasion, but I guess I will get over it.

Epic Fail.

So this past weekend I went to the store, American Eagle if you want me to get specific. I needed some cute winter slippers. As I was standing in line a creeper (nicknamed Bishop because apparently he was as righteous and worthy as his church bishop) approached me and started using ridiculous pickup lines and ice breakers. Eventually he even awkwardly asked for my phone number. As I left the store, shaking my head in disgust and feeling a bit embarrassed for the kid, I couldn’t help but remember all the numerous other times men have used silly pickup lines in order to look cool, but ended up failing miserably. Here is a list of my top ten favorite pick up lines…

Hey baby, You must be from Tennesee........cause your the only Ten-I-See.
Can you give me directions to your heart?
You’re so beautiful that I forgot the rest of this pick up line.
Do you have raisins? No? How about a date?
Your name must be cheerios...cuz you seem healthy for my heart.
You're last name should be Campbells, cus your mmmm... GOOD.
Hey baby, you must be a sweater 'cos you got me feeling warm all over.
Your eyes are as blue as window cleaner.
I’m a thief, I’m here to steal your heart.
How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice-can I get your number?
Or my all time favorite… sooo…you’re a girl?

Create.

I absolutely LOVE this video. Just thought I would share.
On a side note, I think they should start playing music in the background during General Conference now. It adds to the experience if I do say so myself.

Learning to Share.

In one week I am going to have to learn to do something I struggle with. Sharing. My older sister is getting married in a week which means I am going to have to share her with her future hubby. I’m not so sure how I feel about this. Courtnie and I have always been real close (except for the time she was in middle school. She was a bit dramatic and would throw her curling iron at me, but that’s a different story). She has always been not only an example to me but also one of my closest friends. I can’t count how many times she would let me hang out with her group of friends during high school. As a little sophomore eating lunch on the table with all the senior football players I thought I was hot stuff. Or after she moved to Logan to attend Utah State, she would always invite me over to spend the weekends with her. After I moved out, she was full of advice and would be the one I would call at 2 in the morning when I just returned from a bad date or had serious roommate problems. Don’t get me wrong, I am real excited for Courtnie, plus I am finally going to get a brother. Dillon will always keep our family laughing, he will make a good addition. This wedding also means they are moving closer to me. Yeah!

I was in charge of putting their wedding video together and came across these picture of us together throughout the years…

President Cami.

Joke of the Day: How do you starve a democrat? Put the food stamps under their working clothes. Muah ha ha…

I am currently majoring in Political Science at UVU. I am completely fascinated by politics. Nothing gets me heated than a good political debate or a new law getting passed I definitely do not agree with. My sophomore year in high school I got involved in the Youth City Council. This is what sparked my passion and got me really thinking about studying politics in college. Once my junior year rolled around, I got a little rebellious and got a speeding ticket, which led me to go to court. Apparently I impressed the judge and got offered the position as a youth court judge. This is what sparked my desire to go to law school. Right now my dream in life is to go to Georgetown Law School, land a job as a lawyer, run for a judge position, and then ideally I would love to either become President of the United States or be appointed as a Supreme Court Justice. I know my dreams are a little far fetched, but I am not one to give up. So when you see me on the ballot for the 2028 Presidential Elections, vote for me! Just like I was taught in my Political Science Class, it is never too early to start campaigning!

Miami Beat.

Just a quick post to let everyone know how amazing my team is...

The Utah Jazz beat the Miami Heat. Apparently they were suppose to be the "dream team." What a joke. Alright, I will admit, the Heat were good. But the Jazz were better. They won 116-114 in overtime. Paulie M. made "king lebron james" look like a nerdy sixth grader out on the court during recess. He put up a solid 46 points. Plus my team did it without all-star Deron Williams who was out due to foul trouble. Here is a good quote by my wise little sister, "Do ya think Lebron is sick of the Utah Jazz? Last year with Gaines and now this? In. His. cocky. little face." Couldn't have said it better myself...

Go Jazz! :)

Romance. Sigh.

"If I could do anything, I would kiss you in the middle of the street on the rainiest day of the year,"

I admit it, I am a hopeless romantic. Especially when it is rainy and depressing days like the one today. Every time I am forced to walk outside all I can picture is the kissing scene from the Notebook. Hands down, that is the best kiss recorded in the history of the universe. Ahh…gives me chills just thinking about it. I also think of the famous spiderman kiss or the steamy kiss between Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried in Dear John, which may I add both also happened in the rain. These days I can’t help but wonder when my fairy tale romance will happen. Don't get me wrong, in no way, shape, or form am I ready to get married yet but every once in a while I can't help but wonder when my time will come. Make sense? All I can say is that I am sure I will learn to enjoy this dreaded rain more when I have that special someone to go lock lips with in this pouring rain. Oh, those days will be joyous...

Karaoke Madness.

Last night I conquered a fear. I sang in front of people. Me, Liz, and Markel were at Guru’s admiring and laughing at other people’s singing abilities. When I somehow convinced these two to come on stage and make a fool out of ourselves together. We busted out “Everybody” by the good ol’ backstreet boys. We figured you can’t go wrong those guys. After we sung our guts out, displayed our killer dance moves, and looked like total idiots, we jumped off stage. It was probably an experience I won’t relive for a couple more years. But hey, I got to mark something off my bucket list. After our singing debut, we headed off to Sparks Lounge and acted like celebrities with our virgin drinks.

On a side note, The jazz won in double overtime to the Clippers last night. Holla Holla!


Yeah, Liz didn't know the song that well. Thats alright, we still love her.

I am WAY to into this.

Posing for a pic after we finished

Martha May.

I have a best friend/Cousin/Roommate. Her name is Markel. (I also call her Martha May, Kel, Murkle, Maria, Markellie Smelly. Oh the list goes on and on...) Me and her have been inseparable since birth. I remember growing up and spending my summers with her in Spanish Fork and Elko. I remember talking to her everyday on my way home from high school. I remember sneaking into my storage room late at night to talk on the phone because my mom had this dumb "no cell phone after 10 pm rule." I remember spending our first week together after moving away from home. I honestly have no idea what I would do without this women. We can read each others minds (seriously..), we both share the same passion for the Utah Jazz, plus we can sit and say absolutely nothing and have the greatest time of our lives. I don't know what I am going to do once we both finally decided to get married and move on. Lets just hope we can find houses next to each other so we can be neighbors :)

Me Familia

This weekend I went home and spent it with my lovely family. It is a riot when we all get together. Bedtimes don't exist, too much junkfood is consumed, and laughter is usually shaking throughout the house. Here are the many reasons why I love my family...

Dad-he lets me sluff Sunday School to go sit in his bishop's office, where he usually feeds me candy. He also does a pretty good job at keeping my car clean and the air pressure full.

Mom- This woman works miracles. Not only does she cook my favorite meals everytime I come home but she...drum roll please...does my laundry! Laundry is BY FAR my least favorite chore. Without her, I would probably be walking around in dirty clothes every day.

Courtnie-not only does her loving fiance give me boy advice, but she is always the person I call at two in the morning when my days just didn't go right. I can't wait until she moves down to lovely Orem next month, i am praying she invites me over for Sunday Dinners :)

Madison-if there is one other person who loves the jazz as much as I do, this would be the woman. She is the only one who understands my hatred for the La Fakers and my admiration for good lookin' Kyle Korver. She is the one who usually keeps me up late at night, and we have too many inside jokes to number.

Darci-i absolutely love the fact that we share the same shoe and clothes size. I love raiding her closet. I have also grown to become her "designated driver" when I am home, meaning I get to go pick her and all her friends up from their teenage parties. I am pretty sure the only reason I kept this job was because I always take the long ways to pick her up, which results in me usually being 30 minutes late. Hey, I know how it feels to be young and in love!

Here are some pics, I mean whats not to love about us?
