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.

SKOOKIE!

so...as we tried to account for everything that was stolen over our honeymoon, I had come to terms with the fact that my laptop and all my design work was gone. However, to make us feel better after a long day of buying back our wedding presents, we decided we'd come home and make skookie's. A wave of terror swept over the car as we realized those darn bandits had sure as hollerin' stolen our skookie pans! I could understand a laptop, but skookie pans? The only people who would ever steal someone else's skookie pans was someone who was intent on making that person absolutely miserable. I think all told it was only 5 minutes after realizing the skookie pans were gone that I was buying a new set at Bed Bath and Beyond with the last of our gift card money. We weren't going home until we had them. After that we were too tired to make cookie dough and just went to bed. I don't know why we hadn't used them yet. It's like we were saving them for something special. Well, today was special, i suppose. It was Tuesday. :) Tuesdays can be special. Today was also "not too cold, not too hot, all you need is a light jacket!" So today was Skookie Day!
Let's recap-in pictures. :)

Step one: Resee's chocolate peanut butter cookie dough and dreyer's cookie dough ice cream.


Step two: (not kidding...less than a minute later)


Step three: <3


There you have it. $24.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond. I highly, HIGHLY recommend the gooey, chocolatey, happiness. :) mmm. (THANKS ADAM AND EMILEE!!!)

Note: Lindsay and Jessica. Any stabs at the phrase "sure as hollerin'" will not be tolerated. -Kandi

the call

take a listen. i love this song. :)

Progress. :)

So, I'm holding out on taking pictures of our apartment until we finally get all set up. Yesterday we made great strides toward that point and actually started hanging pictures. By that, I mean I arranged them on the floor and Cam recreated it on the wall. My part took sufficiently less effort, but I appreciate him like crazy! We've got the frames up for one wall, all I have to do now is get pictures printed...
