Colors and Cake!

Today was CRAZY busy! First it was the color festival-it was my first time doing and it was AWESOME! You throw colored chalk at each other and then up in the air and it creates this HUGE colored cloud. It's an Eastern Indian Holiday celebrating diversity. I believe it's called Holle Krishna (SP? don't quote me on that...). I'm pretty sure I will be blowing purple snot out my nose for weeks! lol

Next, I rushed home to wish my sister farewell to her Jr. Prom. She looked absolutely stunning! She is growing up so fast I can't even believe it! Her Junior year of high school is almost over! WOW.

After that, I had a good friend's Birthday Party. I went over to her house to give her her present-which wasn't much, but it was pretty awesome. When everone arrived we went and had SUSHI. Absolutely delicious, but I had WAY too much to eat! Not to mention we went to our friends house and had cake afterward (which I helped bake and frost :-) ).

Overall it was a great Saturday. Busy, but filled with Colors and Cake. What else can a guy ask for? :-)

P.S. Pictures of tonights events hopefully coming soon....if my friends post them on facebook for me to copy. haha

Bobcats, Panthers, Bears, and Wolves-oh my! Someone ate the pizza....

So you know the myth about eating pepperoni pizza before bed time? ...It will give you crazy dreams, right? IT'S TOTALLY TRUE! I had it for dinner last night between 10-11pm and had the craziest dream.

My family and friends were staying at this mountain resort place with lots of decks to lounge on. While my family lounged, my friends and I walked around to explore. As we were exploring the resort (people were still everywhere) we saw a WILD bobcat and it was coming right toward us! My friends acted like this a an everyday thing, which I guess was at this resort. Ayway, It walked right by us and so I reached out and started petting it. I could tell it was annoyed by this, but how many people can say they have bet a bobcat?

As the exploration continued we walked into a grove of trees where we encountered a bear. This was no tiny black bear, but a HUGE brown grizzly bear! Which is kind of funny because this is was probably the nicest animal we encountered....So we played with the bear and had a grand ol' time!

Later in the dream the exact same things happened with a black leopard (commonly known as a black panther-if you look close enough, you CAN see their spots). It came right next to us, and I started petting it. The black panther got even more annoyed and was about to swat me with it's huge paw, but I stopped petting it and it just walked off...

Last but not least. The scene is on a deck area at night. My family is surrounding me (still lounging in deck chairs). Lantern glowing from their posts on the deck. I was so excited to tell my family about all the wild animals I encountered today that I touched them! How often does that happen?! Anyway, I was talking with my family and we hear wolves howl.....they seemed pretty close. The next few min we just lisen as the howls grow louder and louder, closer and closer. The next thing we know the wolves are running past the deck. They seem crazed and on the hunt. Obviously my family is scared. And so was I! Suddenly a wolf run up the stairs of the deck and was facing me. I was the only one standing and I somehow had a white metal basket in my hand. The wolf stated walking towards me and I started hitting the basket on the deck floor. This made the wolf hesitant, but it continued forward. It would smell the fear, and that made it even more tempting for him. The wolf lunged, and I took the basket and put all my force behind it! Wham! Hit the wolf right in the head! This happened a couple more times. I finally started to just hit the deck near it and it eventually gave up and ran off.

The next thing I knew my alarm clock was going off.....What a CRAZY dream!
WARNING: Eating pepperoni pizza might cause you to have crazy dreams!
Bobcats, Panthers, Bear, and Wolves-oh my! Someone ate the pizza....yeah I will admit, it was me :-)

What a Adventurous week! :-D

This week has been SO fantastic! It has flown by so quickly I can't even believe it. An adventure! Here is the scoop:

Sunday: Church, Dinner with the family and grandparents, ad then my Great Grandmothers viewing. It was time to see you go. No more suffering. We love you and will miss you greatly.

Monday: Work, then a music practice for a wedding that is coming up

Tuesday: Work, and then a good friend of mine (Shelly the amazing) came over to help fix my hair, eat dinner, and talk.  :-)

Wednesday: I took off of work to help a friend out and ended up doing an errand/house work day with some friend time that night.

Thursdy: Picked up my parents and grandparents from the airport (took my great grandma to St. Louis to be buried). When we arrived at my grandparents house they surprised me and told me that they were going to pay for voice lessons! I have not bee able to take voice in months because of timing and money. And I am so excited to start back up! I love my grandparents! Later in the day, I went with my friend (Katie) and her grandmother (Joyce) to a doctors appointment, went to Red Lobster for the first time, and did my first mini house concert! Afterwards I went to Dees to have icecream and talk with Katie. Amazing day!

Friday: Got up at 7am to be ready to go at 8am. Drove with Katie to pick up her grandmother (Joyce) at her uncles house. Went to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe-yum! And then we all drove up to Idaho Falls together! Such a great ride! Joyce told stories from her life, I sang, we all talked and laughed the entire way. We arrived in Idaho around 2:30pm and Katie and I were supposed to come back on a shuttle that night. However we missed the shuttle and ended up spending the night. So we cleaned up the house a little bit, went to get dinner from Applebees, picked up the dog from the pet hotel. Then back home to eat and make plans for our return home-taxi will pick us up at 3am, shuttle leaves at 4:10am, arrive at the salt lake city airport at 8am, work at 10am. After plans were made, Katie and I went to the store to pick up some essentials (tooth brush/paste, deodorant, etc.). We got back and I went downstairs to play the baby grand built in the early 1900s! Absolutely fantastic! Joyce and Katie soon joined me for some music time. Katie and I were afraid that if we went to sleep we woud miss the taxi, so we decided to not go to bed....

Saturday: Katie and I decided to watch Little Women-great movie! Then decided to shower, and get things ready for our departure.Joyce woke up to send us off. We hugged, tried not to cry, and said our goodbyes with our next visit planned. I'm so grateful for that trip and will treasure it always. Joyce is now another grandmother to me and I absolutely adore and love her. I become closer and fell more deeply in love with Katie. Katie and I (mostly Katie) entertained the taxi and shuttle drivers! After we got home I had to go to work-on ZERO sleep! Let's just say it makes for an interesting work day. Katie and I had made plans for that evening with some friends. I got home from work and fell asleep. I was pretty muh dead. They called and text, and even came to my house! But I was gone....


Sunday: Homecoming of a high school friend, my own sacrament meeting, music practice for the upcoming wedding, and then fun with Katie and Shelly. I finally saw THE NOTEBOOK! Absolutely fantastic movie!!! Love radiated from the movie and I felt it. Not only the romantic kind of love, but love for friends, family, and a complete sense of gratitude for what they all have done for me. Love you guys!


What a week. What an adventure! I hope this week brings much more...including gym time because I definitely need it! I am also going to try to write more frequently because this weekly updates are so incredibly long!

Love,
Cameron :-)

Week Upddate! and I need a miracle...

So this week has been crazy!

Monday: Work, gym, friends.

Tuesday: Doctors appointment, work, gym, FRIENDS! People were saying and doing such funny things that I was laughing so hard I was bright red and crying! LOL "Three Pills Please" :-)

Wednesday: Work, then had a music practice for a wedding that I am singing for in in a couple weeks. I was weary of trying to sing it, but Marci and I have come up with something that is amazing! I hope they like it :-)
Also, I got an amazing offer to record a cd wth Marvin Goldstien who would arrange, produce, and play, pitch to record companies, and help me land some gigs. But making a cd costs so much money! Usually they range from 30-50,000 dollars! But this would have only cost $20,000. But I don't know even know where I would find that much money! So, sadly I had to turn it down. :'-(

Thursday: MY DAY OFF! Some of my coworkers took m out to Sushi! It was incredible! I think I'm addicted....ran errands, did laundry, hung out with two seperate friends! It worked out perfectly time wise. Alyssa and I went and got dinner from an okay Chinese place we have never tried. And then wathced a very disturbing movie. It was nuts! I can't believe people would act that way. Yes it was a horror movie based off a true story.

Friday: Work, and then to Provo to a farewell party or a friend that is going on a mission! I'm excited to see people I have not seen in months!

Saturday: Work, and then I am going to see ALICE IN WONDERLAND with two awesome friends! Can't wait!!!

Also, another thing that has been on my mind lately is school. I am seriously thinking about music. But the only program that I want in Utah is at BYU. I have have visited many times and it is the only campus that has felt 'right.' But Media music program only accepts 10 people a year! I would have to wait until January to audition (which gives me time to learn the music things I need to know to get in, plus get my GPA up). But I'm very conflicted about going to BYU. I feel like I'm meant to be there, but not sure how I could survive. I'm going to need a miracle.
