[Addicted]

Cameron and I have recently fallen in love with the card game NERTS. I’ve played for years and years with my family. Apparently so has he. I’ve never lost in my family and most of the time could play by myself against both my parents on a team and win. The funny thing is, Cameron’s never been very good at it, until now. The first time we played one on one, Cameron whooped me 4 times in a row! I was so shocked I had to call my mom and tell her about it! I honestly didn’t know what to do with myself. All my mom said was “Bless that Man!” I’ve since woken up to the fact that when only 2 people are playing, it’s not about who’s faster, but more of who’s more aware of what’s going on. Cameron really kills me most of the time. It’s infuriating! Couples in our ward have invited us over to play and we’re pretty darn good as a team. :) We’ve made some awesome friends named Brady and Danielle Sanders. They are total NERTS fans too, so our Sunday afternoons consist of good food, good friends, and good competition. I love beating Cameron, almost as much as he loves beating me. It’s hilarious because you get so frustrated but can’t help but laugh at how proud we both get. Most of the time we play until our brains beg us to stop. Upon discovering each others’ infatuation with the card game, we’ve played in various locations, including restaurants while waiting for our food, the city park, and the kitchen floor. We’re absolutely addicted.

I Married A Jedi Episode 3

For our first Valentine’s Day, I decided to skip the pink and red altogether. Since I’ve never seen Star Wars, I decided to throw Cameron a Star Wars party instead. I made Yoda Soda, Wookie Cookies, and chocolate dipped light sabers. I decorated with glow in the dark stars and an awesome Star Wars poster. I let him pick his favorite episode, which we would watch while wearing our Wookie Pants Jessica made us for Christmas this year. I even promised him I wouldn’t kiss him during the entire movie. It made for a very happy hubby!

Snowboarding!

Emilee and Kiara took me snowboarding last weekend. I've never been before but I've wanted to learn for a really long time. I'm proud to say I only biffed it off the lift once all day :) and learned how to carve. Not bad for a first timer. It was a blast to have just us girls for a while. I don't think I've had more than 5 hours without Cameron since we got married. I was very ready to see him after we got off the mountain! I should have taken pictures of my battle scars, but I ended up with 2 black knees, a bruised hand, and a tailbone that I wanted to cut out of my body. I've since forgotten exactly how bad it hurt, though, and can't wait to go again! I look pretty awkward when I'm boarding, though, and I don't know that my pride can take Cam seeing me. :) I'm sure I'll get over it. Thanks for a fantastic day, girls!

I've got my man who could ask for anything more!

I have an interview for an internship with the marketing department of Gardner Village today. It’s the first time I could actually have a job where my schooling is actually important to my success. Frankly, the idea of having a real job is pretty intimidating. I’m confident in my abilities to perform to the standard I will be held, I’m just amazed that I’m at this stage of my life and that I actually am “good enough” to be considered competitive for such a position. This “amazement” resulted in a bit of a break down last night. I’ve gathered and compiled my portfolio, my hair looks good, I’m wearing this fantastic green sweater, and I feel quite ready to show my stuff. This little bit of insecurity was still tugging at the back of my mind. I opened my phone to text Cameron when a girl with these balloons, a snickers bar, and some junior mints comes through the door. “These are for Kristin.” ☺

I have the coolest husband in the world.

. THE . COOLEST .

Love you!

I hear the secrets that you keep....

Cameron obliterated any doubt in my mind that he belongs in our family last night. The Frost/McGuire family often has weird sleeping behaviors. Some examples include Lindsay flipping around in the middle of the night so her feet end up on her pillow (This absolutely freaked Mackay out the first time it happened. Lol), a previous post of mine describes me waking up and getting out of bed, grabbing my pillow and blanket, and being really angry with having to sleep on the couch but not knowing exactly why it was that I HAD to be there. Bethi Goodman (my cousin) posted a pretty darn hilarious sleeping experience. Her blog’s over there→

Either way, last night at about 5:30am, I woke up to Cameron reciting scripture in his sleep. It went on non-stop for about 2 minutes. He was practically shouting it. I listened for as long as I could before bursting out laughing. I woke the poor kid up. He asked me what was so funny and I told him what he had been doing. Pretty defiantly he stated, “No, it wasn’t scripture. I was reciting Julius Caesar. I was reading it with Kiara and Mema.” At this point I really couldn’t breathe and had to ask him if he was even really awake. Lol. O my husband.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

This is a little somethin' i cooked up for my creative track application. At EFY, I was always knows for having a flower in my hair. It's since become a bit of a trademark. NYC is one of my favorite places in the world because of the pulse and the beat of the city, and because it's the #1 hotspot for quality, CLASSY, creative advertising. I love the glamour of it all. I can't wait to get to do this for real. and get paid for it! :)

(any criticism is welcome. I really want my portfolio to be an accurate portrayal of what I can do. Plus if you have a cool picture I can play with, that would be awesome. Let me know!)
