To back track to my last post, I wasn't able to go test out the GC Turkey Creek but did enjoy a fun time at Dry Creek in Galt with my Dad, Uncle Ranse, and Robert. I scored a 106 and was thrilled! It's my best score yet and I really enjoyed the course.<br />

Sept 4th--<br />
Per Robert's request to add to the blog (although he rarely looks at it!), he went solo to Dry Creek and scored HIS best score in golf yet......96! He is quite excited to try out another golf course next week in MT (Info at the end of the post).<br />

By getting this little angel... We named him Tucker. He was 8 weeks when we bought him and he is a Miniature Australian Shepherd. It was the perfect choice for our smaller living space but still he's going to be a "dog-size" (according to Robert and not a "rat-dog" size). He has been a perfect puppy! We both just adore him. I've been wanting a dog for awhile and Robert's reasoning for getting a dog was, "Makiya was neglecting Emily".</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

(Imagine the adorable little minion from Despicable Me saying that!) And now....it is going to be the 19th tomorrow! GOOD-NESS! Where does the time go? Robert and I have been busy having a blast the last month and a half. Figured I would just write an update on all the fun we've had.<br />

We drove into town almost every night to go spend time with her. Robert took French in high school and we knew that she would be coming so we bought a program and he freshened up on his French while I learned from scratch. We had so much fun just realizing how much more is out there in the real world and there is so much we don't think about and take for granted including different cultures, language, society, government, housing and even cuisine! We miss Claire but loved spending time with her and plan on visiting her in Chartres, France one day!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Our cousins, Mikal, Nicole and Bridget (the 3 oldest in the picture) came for a week to experience the California sun but this time, without the parents! It was a short trip but still was so fun to see how big they are and how every five minutes someone is asking "Where's Robert?" "Is Robert here yet?" "Is Robert going swimming with us?" Anytime he was out of the girls' sight it was "Where did Robert go?" I have always had a close relationship with all my first cousins but I love how much they all adore Robert too! (Hopefully soon we can go visit and see the baby twins too----ooh that Sara and Brooke....SO cute!)</div><br />

Robert, my dad, Chad and I went and checked out <a href="http://www.clubcorp.com/club/scripts/library/view_document.asp?DN=LD_GOLF_EMRGC&GRP=10&NS=PCH&MFCODE=EMRGC&SUBGRP=26">Empire Ranch</a> and had a great time! It was only my second time on a 18-hole course. Since we bought our golf sets we've gone to the range a lot. I am a lot more consistent and Robert isn't splicing his drives as much either! I scored a 115 but had some awesome holes...just some really really crappy ones too! While I'm gone this Saturday with my parents, Jen and Alix (woo hoo birthday girl!) Robert got a bunch of buddies together and are going...so needless to say that I am VERY excited about Alix's surprise birthday gift on Saturday, still a bit bummed I don't get to go golfing with the hub on Saturday---but very excited that he promised to take me to <a href="http://www.clubcorp.com/club/scripts/library/view_document.asp?DN=LD_GOLF_TKCGC&GRP=10&NS=PCH&MFCODE=TKCGC&SUBGRP=26">Turkey Creek</a> Aug. 30th! </div><br />

What a morning it was! Heather told me this past weekend that the new Henry's Farmers Market in Elk Grove (where the old Circuit City used to be) was having its Grand Opening and that the first 200 customers get a free bag full of groceries. It is a new store with a lot of organic foods which are not readily available in most normal supermarkets. Heather works in Natural Foods at Raley's and knows a lot about it....but me?....I wanted free food! :) We decided-----why not! So this morning woke up a little after 4am and drove to pick up Heather. We got to the store about 4:45am and got prime parking! We ended up being # 24 and 25 in line! We stood there and watched as the time went by and between 6 and 6:30 people were storming the place to run and get in line. The store passed out coffee, muffins, cinnamon bread and tons of snacks to keep us happy. As the time got closer to open they passed out wristbands to all those in line so we could shop all we wanted and then on our way out get our bag. We also had the news there--KCRA 3, News10, FOX 40, Good Morning Sac on 31 and eventually 13 showed up too. Heather was also interviewed for a radio broadcast! The store opened at 8am but we were busy waving at all the cameras and getting so excited for a free bag of groceries... We found out while waiting in line that it was 25 lbs. and worth $50. Also, Heather kept getting texts from a friend saying "Every time a news camera goes live I see you!" We ended up leaving the store about 8:45am feeling a kid on Christmas with our awesome deals and our free bag of groceries! We drove to our parents and unpacked the bags practically jumping up and down with every find. Needless to say, we had so much fun and I took two naps this afternoon because of my exhaustion!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWDqrO6s4EoUItiahLeJVg5mYD8m2PTRTKYrttOqO_FA1I5bq9L34uabSPjcwvenlChLPskAasi52wgt-RfhqHOGgAZM0o-di8-pvXZMOza4MMrbJLztCb1dasjqi4GUXR9tDrYZAeB8/s1600/HEATHER.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWDqrO6s4EoUItiahLeJVg5mYD8m2PTRTKYrttOqO_FA1I5bq9L34uabSPjcwvenlChLPskAasi52wgt-RfhqHOGgAZM0o-di8-pvXZMOza4MMrbJLztCb1dasjqi4GUXR9tDrYZAeB8/s320/HEATHER.bmp" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Ever since I read the book Holes way back in sixth grade I have loved fiction novels. No I can't say I have read a lot, or that I am an amazing fast reader, but I DO love to get caught up in a good book. Since the day I started unpacking my boxes of books as Robert & I were moving in to our place he said, "Have you even read all those? Why do you have so many?" Over the years I have picked up books here and there as gifts or as I browse aimlessly in the LDS bookstores. I have a little collection but I love them! I did promise I would get rid of some and I did sell about 7 online of just books I received and never really were THAT into starting up. I have so many I have started and never finished or have been wanting to read but never get to. I remember back in summer 2007 I was able to read book after book with great friends and it was an absolute blast so this summer I picked up some old "pre-teen" favorites like my Alias series that are just fun shorter books that I still like to read. Also finished one my sister, Jen let me borrow "How to Stuff a Wild Zucchini" which is a LDS romance novel. It was really cute and a easy read, and I just finished yesterday "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" the short story Stephenie Meyer just put out about the "other side" of the vampires. I am excited to keep my journey of starting to read all these wonderful books I have but at the same time, being the person I am, I have these books and can pick them up and read them anytime, so I would love any recommendations from more avid readers than I am!! I really would like to get more serious about reading (especially before I have to start reading textbooks again) so give me your favorite book, whether its for kids or 1,000 pages long---<br />
<br />
Also if anyone knows of a fun book club that has sounded like fun for YEARS! Or if anyone wants to read a book the same time I am and we can just leisurely chat about it that would be a blast too....Let me know! Thanks for all your help!Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-46512907692678506782010-06-26T14:02:00.000-07:002010-07-01T12:01:41.303-07:00Our recent happenings<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Robert & I have sure been busy lately spending time together during the week and enjoying our weekends! The last two weeks I’ve gone with Robert to work everyday but one, usually Wednesday or Thursday just so I can get stuff done around the house too. He installs any kind of appliance, mounts TV’s, surround systems or anything to do with electrical work or plumbing. So since he is installing in different people’s homes from Galt, Placerville, Cameron Park, Grass Valley, Auburn, Nevada City, Lincoln, Davis and anywhere in between we get to hear a lot of comments. Usually when we first walk in Robert introduces himself and then says “This is my wife, Emily” but sometimes something happens and they only hear my name. I usually get some joke about “Is it bring your girlfriend to work day?” and occasionally we’ve heard “Is this your sister?” but just yesterday, not once but TWICE we were asked, “Is this your daughter?”……..</span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Daughter? Really? I didn’t know if this was a compliment or a slap in the face to either of us! One lady felt real bad and said to me, “Oh I stuck my foot my mouth! You just look so young! That will be a blessing when you’re 40!” </span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other crazy old lady went from asking that question to “Oh…Do you have kids then?” In a matter of seconds I went from being his daughter to the mother of his children… </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All I came away with is that I will never to go work with Robert without mascara on again! We had a good laugh about it all though.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were also excited because we were able to get our hands on a completely fine working dishwasher that we turned into a fun evening project together. Since we rent out in Wilton we don’t have a dishwasher, there isn’t room to install one, and Robert & I have come to STRONGLY dislike washing dishes. Usually I cook dinner and by the time we’re done eating we both don’t feel like washing the pots/pans/utensils/plates/cups…etc. etc. so they get pushed to the next day. If I go to work with Robert, they usually get pushed to the day after that and so on…. So dishes are no fun when no one is home to clean them. So we turned a stationary dishwasher into a portable one and had a fun time doing so. It does fill a good chunk of our kitchen but we can wheel it a few feet away into our laundry room when its not being used. Robert’s face was priceless when he had it all hooked it. He said, “Look at me!!!! I’m loading a DISHWASHER!” I know most people complain about that but not Robert he was so excited! Plus with the well water when we wash by hand it just doesn’t look completely clean with the minerals in the water. The dishes came out SPARKLING and we were both ecstatic! </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqnj2_-M27Msvk2uVQsIQ3oUznf7BclX3t6rWBQQFR1wQZ7uuVfq3HdN_DuuU2Egbh5aaV5RJtFG1qNrD7wi1V-a-YwrtiI4JbFnM1XcnFI8O8cpgzZvDt0nLVnMmc2O7hF47eGF00VpE/s1600/pics+025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqnj2_-M27Msvk2uVQsIQ3oUznf7BclX3t6rWBQQFR1wQZ7uuVfq3HdN_DuuU2Egbh5aaV5RJtFG1qNrD7wi1V-a-YwrtiI4JbFnM1XcnFI8O8cpgzZvDt0nLVnMmc2O7hF47eGF00VpE/s200/pics+025.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSx9txLBEI5pE6MerJnWleAmMfWNSAm4phrbvJ2mrn0kXKaMdoXTaxMa3H3i5O7nSr8vlC8DlVatpBFvf8Ajp5XVDCKDSC5ZTK99qhJ89mFqnKiBnw9z-p78T09H3YpThvIc0qUdsqGGE/s1600/pics+030.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSx9txLBEI5pE6MerJnWleAmMfWNSAm4phrbvJ2mrn0kXKaMdoXTaxMa3H3i5O7nSr8vlC8DlVatpBFvf8Ajp5XVDCKDSC5ZTK99qhJ89mFqnKiBnw9z-p78T09H3YpThvIc0qUdsqGGE/s200/pics+030.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheDk0Ueimn8scwrS9lbPfpYG3ByDk4Ef8fdMbmDUcUZyM1y7wy1IIlZRDQkHOU35zH_cYc5Autso5ywCBsREvUZmqz6XEouPiCWRAtdSqT7nIY9bKjGe4npI4Xr5U9RfKA0bTqeiPqlG0/s1600/pics+033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheDk0Ueimn8scwrS9lbPfpYG3ByDk4Ef8fdMbmDUcUZyM1y7wy1IIlZRDQkHOU35zH_cYc5Autso5ywCBsREvUZmqz6XEouPiCWRAtdSqT7nIY9bKjGe4npI4Xr5U9RfKA0bTqeiPqlG0/s320/pics+033.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just this past weekend we were able to enjoy some much needed time away from home with wonderful friends, who we consider to be family. We had Jaron, Heather and their kids Bella & Livi, as well as Heather’s sweet mom, Janet and Heather’s sister (aka our landlords), Amy, Lance and their kids Colton & Hailey. Jaron’s family were also able to come the next day.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

We camped at Don Pedro and were able to test the boat out with their awesome new speakers! Robert loved being near the water and just wanted to FISH FISH FISH! So that is what he did! He ended up getting a Blue Gill that he put back because it was obviously too small, but he did get a Large Mouth Bass. It was just within the length to keep it and he sure did! I have never seen someone catch a fish or gut it so it was quite the experience but it was thrilling! He was very proud of that fish and grilled it with dinner and shared pieces with everyone. Me, personally, thought it was gross! He said for absolutely no flavoring, it wasn’t too bad. Ugh! I was not a fan. The trip was great though and we had tons of laughs whether it be people constantly burning themselves on marshmallows or lanterns, crazy alarm clock ringtones, or Lance’s banana craze we had a blast. We also found out that Jaron & Heather are expecting another baby! Which we are so excited for them! Robert has known Bella since she was tiny and was attached to Livi when she was born and I’ve known her since she was 5 months old so it will be fun to see another little Martin!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

We lovingly obeyed her wishes and gave her a fun night at home eating tacos and playing croquet on her actual birthday Friday, May 28th.</div><div><div align="center">What my mother didn't know is for over a week before that we were planning a surprise party for her!!! We completely pulled it off. We made it seem like Friday was her nice birthday and when it came and went she had no idea she would have another one. </div><div align="center">So after church on Sunday we ran to Heather and St John's to help decorate the backyard for an evening of fun. Everyone showed up and got ready as my mom arrived ready for a Sunday dinner at H & SJ's. She came right in and sat down on the couch as Jen ran out back to join the rest of us. Heather somehow got her to the back porch and told her that SJ had made a surprise for her that she wanted her to see before dinner. Heather walked her to the back porch covering her eyes as we all yelled SURPRISE!<br />

It is a great feeling to be almost done with this semester though. It is even more exciting that I have my graduation paperwork in! I would have been able to graduate this next Fall except for the fact that California has had SOOO many budget cuts and tuition increases!!! They are only offering classes every other semester since my major is still "newer", so I have to stretch out my remaining five classes into Fall and Spring rather than finishing them up this Fall.<br /><br /><p>Anyways--I am graduating Spring 2011 and can't wait! I love my major! I will be getting a bachelor's degree in Deaf Studies and a Certificate in American Sign Language. I love the language, the Culture, but most importantly the people!! I have amazing professors which have turned into 6 Deaf friends instead! I am hoping one day to go back for 2 years and get my Interpreting Cert, but when I graduate it's time to focus on the hubby and support him through school! I was going through my computer and found this OLD video of me in ASL 2. We were to make a short video about two events we went to. I have to admit, although I am signing it is not proper ASL grammar now that I have taken ASL 1-5, and a variety of other major classes which develop your skills MUCH better I can say that I was signing "English"! Although I still do not admit to be a fluent signer but I am SO much better than this video. It is still fun to see how I used to try to be precise, and sign at a calm but steady pace. Watching the progress is fun. I am not a professional with videos so I don't know how to caption or gloss for those who are "signing-impaired". Anyway, hope you enjoy!</p><br /><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwKz8UvPQKrrfTntTfbt4CZENGUFhJA5kj8HlyibDZt7DW3NIWE4H7yX2F-33-RkqVlxKCUevFiglfYnb5p_Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-65507348750649423482010-04-21T10:49:00.000-07:002010-04-21T10:57:05.116-07:00The joys of Spring!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">Well, it feels like it has been quite a while since I've posted!

Then a week before midterms my family went to DISNEYLAND! We haven't gone all together in almost 2 years...PLUS, St John had never been! So we left the day after Robert's birthday, celebrated it while we were there and also celebrated my Dad's on March 20th! We had a great time!<br />

They went on Buzz Lightyear for 2 and 1/2 HOURS! They were trying to get the high score! They know all the secrets of what targets get you the most points BUT you still have to have the skills..... That day Robert got the #1 ranking!!!!! We came back later that night and it was beat by about 200k but the workers said the people got stuck on the ride right in front of Zurg! So.....WITHOUT that advantage my Dad (BRI) and Robert (ROB) got some AWESOME scores!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Then, drove all the way back---yes, in one night! <br />
<br />
Welcome to the Campbell Family, Makiya! <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">He is a Jenday Conure which are very social, cuddily birds. I did so much research on these types of birds that I feel like I could write my own book! He is only 5 months old so he's still just a baby! When he hits a year his colors will come all the way in with a bright yellow head, orange tummy and green wings with bright blue ends. He also will be able to whistle numerous tunes, tricks and even say words. They live 25-30 years so we will have him for quite a long time!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

I get the pleasure of staying home with him but the moment Robert's voice is heard or as soon as he walks in the door Makiya flys straight to him! He is a sweet gentle bird who is SPOOOOILED! He has his own tabletop play gym and a nice big cage with tons of toys, ropes, perches, and more! He loves to eat fresh fruits and veggies which is fun to shop in produce for your PET! Robert is a proud "dad". He already has him potty trained and Robert loves to show off the fact that when he holds him over the toilet and says "Go poop" that he will. </div>Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-4657509034721159322010-03-09T12:54:00.000-08:002010-03-09T12:57:07.652-08:00March 6th<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is crazy to think of everything we have done and have been through in the past year. Time really does fly by! It is so fun to look back on the photos and of the big wedding day! We had so much support and loving friends and family members who came to see us on our wedding day. We really do appreciate everyone who made the trek to good ol' Sacramento and to everyone who helped out! It was a great day that I never want to forget! I can't wait to see what the years to come will bring.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We're back from Vegas!!!!!!!<br />
</div><br />
We went on a quick but fun weekend trip. Left Thursday after work and got there Friday morning about 2:45am! <br />
<br />
We both had been to Vegas before----His grandparents used to live there so he would visit annually. I have only been there once----the summer before my sophomore year my dad was going to a Board of Director's meeting in Vegas and I knew my mom was going with him. My parents surprised me with a plane ticket (my first ever!). So I have great memories of just sight-seeing with my mom there.<br />
<br />
Oh man does it feel like a different world though! Robert & I were joking about how we decided to come to a place that is basically known for doing EVERYTHING our morals are against! Smoking, drinking, gambling, immorality, explicit pictures!!!! There are definitely bad things there....no doubt BUT if you know the right places to go, and how to have fun, Vegas can be a great place to visit! We were able to escape even from the aroma and images a majority of our stay!<br />

</div>We went to the "Tournament of Kings" which is in the Excalibur. It is basically a medieval dinner and a show and it is SOOO AWESOME!!!!! It has jousting, amazing food and was so interactive.....Oh I would recommend it to anyone. It was probably one of my favorite things we went to!<br />

If you want to see an amazing hotel though.....See the Wynn. When I went my first time, everyone was talking about the Wynn but it was just being built. This time I got to go inside and it is exquisite! Almost every restaurant is formal attire and plates start at like $85!!!! The decorating though..... was breath taking!!! We took our video camera and just was in awe when we were there! Even the slot machines started at $100!!<br />

The Bellagio is one of my FAVORITE hotels in Vegas---mainly because I love the watershow! The performance is to different songs and has completely different choreography each time....but it is SO fun and amazing to watch!<br />

</div>It was a great little vacation and we had perfect weather right before this crazy storm hit CA and NV. We are getting back into the swing of things now and I start school again this next Monday the 25th.....I am hoping I have a better, less-stressful semester than last year!<br />

I just can't wait to have some free time to be able to have fun weekend trips or random outtings...I feel like I've been couped up in thsi bubble of work, school, homework and sleep---where nothing else exists! Looking at these fun pictures just helped me to remember HOW MUCH Robert and I have done and even the small activities mean so much. Can't wait to make more memories, stress-free...HALLELUJAH!Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-53871173105276988202009-11-21T14:27:00.000-08:002009-11-23T13:23:10.669-08:00Quick update....Haven't posted in awhile and I have so much I need to write about. I have pictures from Halloween of Robert & my outfit this year, school and how ridiculous this semester has been, birthday parties, Bethany leaving for her mission, buying a new car in September and just random fun things we've done recently. I figured I'd type real fast since I had a few minutes to spare. Just this morning Robert, Jen and I went out to breakfast (which I haven't done in FOREVER!) and then went and saw New Moon. We had a great time, and I was really pleased with Summit's portrayal of the book. I have a big week ahead of me with papers, exams, Thanksgiving and my uncle, aunt and cousins coming into town!!!!!!! My cousin, Brittany just got off her mission and I can't wait to see her. There is just so much going on it sure is hard to keep up. Just wanted to say everything's great!Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-15368711683285469442009-10-11T09:59:00.000-07:002009-11-09T20:01:03.825-08:00JDRF Walk 2009<div style="text-align: center;">"Michael's Crew 2009"<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every October for the past 3 years we have participated in the JDRF Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes. My little cousin, Michael was diagnosed when he was 3 and ever since our entire family's eyes have been opened and we have been very supportive in trying to find a cure. We walk on the West steps of the Capitol. Our tradition is wearing our classic Michael Crew T-shirts and dressing up as pirates since they are Michael's favorite! We dressed up the first year and it has been a theme for us every year. Even the other groups know to "look out for the pirates"!!! <br />

We met up and took lightrail in for free! It was Robert's first ride so we had a lot of fun. Little did I know how excitement was to come. With their father being in the Air Force for 8 years, I believe, Robert & Josh grew up dreaming of planes and their "awesomeness".<br /><br /><div align="center"><br /> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">If you want to see grown men act like six-year-olds again.....go to an Airshow!<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Don 't get me wrong, these planes were amazing!

We had a great time in Utah and were able to visit my Uncle, Aunt and cousins and 2 of my best friends, as well as his Grandparents and extended family. It was a much needed trip and we loved every moment! We did love having Bajio at our fingertips! In 5 days we went 3 times!! We also had a blast bowling with Josh/Hill. On the way there they found some hats in the back of "the boat" (Robert's Grandma's Car). They had a little too much fun!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374378244281782130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALVkMawxFK6HD1W-khhQmVsLiGWT8aY3EqPZ6O4-_oo4jR5kV23up7TdImxa74toQQ_VsLSeIlVSoYPcfA9t__tT2pXSzzYEw3tD4GDaD_p3KcoNofomkm10H4ct_iBVw50ihSBVeCBU/s320/hilly.jpg" border="0" />Hillary </div><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374378245865681618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJm2ohWunp1XnFuxdHMixG_x3fjNzaJP9Z2HuoKGjJ-E3M-NuYWQVNdgnBhNVyTd4CQKAV9h1LhXZfc3x85PwLy8gRe-So7QsVv8LENHm907SVg7nr0I1agxMa0WJuekm9HWJQDgqKik/s320/josh.jpg" border="0" />Josh<br /><br /><br /><div><div></div><br /><div>As for everything else, we are back just working and dreading next Monday (Aug. 31st).

I'll be working full time 7am-4pm and then running off straight to school until almost 8-9pm every weeknight. We'll see how it goes!<br /><br /></div><br /><div>This past weekend I was able to see some of my best friends!! They came in town for our friend, Alena's wedding!

Their family lived in the Sheldon ward which was split and now they are in the Vineyard ward. Robert attended Sheldon High and played Football(4 years), Wrestled(4 years), sang in the choir(1 year), played the tuba as well as the trombone for 6 years. He also was on the School's Diving Team for a year. (Watch out when you get him on a diving board!)<br /><br />He currently works for Nor-Cal Installations. He installs tons of different things, but mainly appliances for R.C. Willey and Sears. He also installs surround sounds, water heaters, water softeners, mounts flat screens and anything else you can imagine. <strong>He is always available to do side jobs for anyone who is interested!!! ;) ;)</strong> He is an all around handyman. If you have a problem he will not stop until he fixes it. Quite determined....or stubborn as some would say.<br /><br />He also loves to do outdoor-anything! Snowboarding, wakeboarding, quads, swimming, camping, fishing...you name it--he probably loves it!! He also has a motorcycle that he worked on and completed about six months before we went on our first date.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBw13rr-6t4xeOyP0WSpAWBPd6bTJIm0nA55JSS5_K58rpaJFR-MN2BccBV92y0LBRmSa5ggoSfS4d9l8SoBDTpeC-6oQ4LS-pR7T50jdQ9eP1lz2bpGgsRbqHZ124DjOz81710lgq7QU/s1600-h/n1456097712_41744_2070.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBw13rr-6t4xeOyP0WSpAWBPd6bTJIm0nA55JSS5_K58rpaJFR-MN2BccBV92y0LBRmSa5ggoSfS4d9l8SoBDTpeC-6oQ4LS-pR7T50jdQ9eP1lz2bpGgsRbqHZ124DjOz81710lgq7QU/s320/n1456097712_41744_2070.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347652751705364418" /></a><br /><br />Although we plan on selling it....I sure do love that bike and all the rides and places we've been to. Both mothers do not care for this bike or when we show up to an event on it. :) Their nerves will be calmed soon enough when we sell it. <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih31vioaJ1SF2MpRaSE_8WZBBn_ozdJdhwySnpjqeXAmx9WF5P6qBTDtr9BOO52txCGZWd_cFyB07CXiQYdAuXFz5Or_g95a49uKJ6w0Zdf1lS60Ut7dMAUnXdxj24lS-6KAtOXKDCXBc/s1600-h/sisters!.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih31vioaJ1SF2MpRaSE_8WZBBn_ozdJdhwySnpjqeXAmx9WF5P6qBTDtr9BOO52txCGZWd_cFyB07CXiQYdAuXFz5Or_g95a49uKJ6w0Zdf1lS60Ut7dMAUnXdxj24lS-6KAtOXKDCXBc/s320/sisters!.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348469062766761250" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />As for me, I was born in Sacramento and grew up here in Elk Grove.

I couldn't have hoped for a better or funnier brother-in-law!!<br /><br /><br /><br />I attended Elk Grove High and was the 4th generation to graduate from EGHS on my mom's side of the family. (They have been in EG since the beginning and that is why we love it so much!) I danced on Rhythmical Madness which was the Dance Co. for 3 years. I took a lot of really fun AP classes and just loved high school. I had a lot of wonderful friends who made it all worthwhile!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIffvenqmP90tOshbTZNu9tq_bXmBrKTzoJBMLbnTSX6-RjNp52Hz93ai2fbf1TOhvDr6mOXaUb5GsY34DDSHskUa3xHjD9pn5QDvH-af3Qxcv6QIQ9tZ6Uz8v_ULDm_cskXoQHJ_s0U/s1600-h/csus.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIffvenqmP90tOshbTZNu9tq_bXmBrKTzoJBMLbnTSX6-RjNp52Hz93ai2fbf1TOhvDr6mOXaUb5GsY34DDSHskUa3xHjD9pn5QDvH-af3Qxcv6QIQ9tZ6Uz8v_ULDm_cskXoQHJ_s0U/s320/csus.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348471949332681202" /></a><br /><br />When I started college I began at CSUS-California State Univ. Sacramento. I'm majoring in Deaf Studies and minoring in Dance & Child Development. I sure loved it there! I was also on the Institute Council right across the street from CSUS. Which was an absolute blast to be a part of...I sure do miss it!<br /><br />I attended 2 years there and decided to take a fun summer semester at BYU with 3 of my best friends...(Yes I know I have 4 of my best friends in the picture!!) We had just about THE funnest summer of our lives!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg32b-4_B1wlTjuKHCwz2mQnlHN7BnXP8zf7BdR4XcDZaHi7asxyDJtRg_91QUSBF2amZWsDfxCAmhU5NKtl_62nvBHNFPDXylC8EHqYOvba_CU_L4P1G9b3iRBNnsGen_hWpSi35GuCxw/s1600-h/provo+teip+371.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg32b-4_B1wlTjuKHCwz2mQnlHN7BnXP8zf7BdR4XcDZaHi7asxyDJtRg_91QUSBF2amZWsDfxCAmhU5NKtl_62nvBHNFPDXylC8EHqYOvba_CU_L4P1G9b3iRBNnsGen_hWpSi35GuCxw/s320/provo+teip+371.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348471621717762770" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I came back from BYU and started back up at CSUS...I had to take the Spring semester off to plan for the wedding but currently I only have about a year left in college. For now I am just working at Pro-Tech Fire...where I've been working as Corp A/P for the past 18 months. <br /><br /><br />As for Robert & my story....this is where it begins.Robert and Emily C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10526727265493417354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905172298943535232.post-32327295244223821122009-06-08T16:13:00.000-07:002009-06-22T13:47:43.212-07:00Starting our BlogWelcome to the life of Robert & I!!!<br /><br />I plan on adding stories and pictures from our dating until the engagement and on through our marriage.<br /><br />We have so many fun things we want to share with all of our friends and family.<br /><br />We hope you will enjoy our blogspot!<br /><br />If you have any good suggestions for fun websites w/ backgrounds let me know.<br /><br /><br /><br />By the way...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!
