well, like the slacker i am i didn't have pictures of the headboard on monday. in fact it isn't even hung yet. tonight. forrest has to help me hang it tonight. but i do have a good excuse, we went camping for a few days at one of our favorite spots called mill hollow. it is up past heber and kamas, so a little bit of a drive but the view is so pretty. we stayed the first night by ourselves, forb and i have been camping together a lot of times over the past 2 1/2 years but have never actually been camping alone. it was so fun but so odd, i don't feel old enough to go camping without adults....err i mean we are the adults. i feel like i'm having a mini crisis, it just hit me that pretty soon i'll be the mom and forrest will be the dad and we'll be in charge of packing everything for everyone and always entertaining and feeding and providing and a whole sleuth of things. {and they say camping is relaxing, excuse me for a minute while i have a hard time breathing in this fresh mountain air} okay really, not that dramatic but i swear yesterday i was 12. that being said our very first completely alone camping trip went rather smoothly. we only forgot camping chairs, but who needs those when you have massive rock chairs around the fire pit. oh and i guess i forgot mayo and mustard for our lunch but chik-fil-a came in handy with their little packets of each. we pretty much hung out, walked around and did nothing. went to bed early, maybe a little too early. i didn't sleep too well the first night we were there and around 4 am i was just laying there trying to get comfy and i heard freaky noises and footsteps. i was terrified. real real terrified. so a few minutes later i whispered to forb, are you awake? and he said yes. i asked if he had heard the noise, he said yes. he told me we weren't in any danger. so we laid there for a few minutes, he asked if i wanted to go for a drive i said no it's okay. the longer i laid there the more i felt like i was going to vomit, then i thought when are we ever both wide awake at 4 in the morning, so i finally said where are we going to go. we got dressed and i ran to the car. ha ha i'm such a scared little girl. we drove to the heber wal-mart so i could use the restroom and we needed mantles for our lantern. it took about 2 hrs there and back so it was around 6:3O when we were driving back to camp and the sun was rising. we saw lots of deer, but i see lots of deer driving my car in alpine so i hadn't bothered to put my contacts back in yet. when suddenly forb yelled "MOOOSE" i put my contacts in as fast as i could and we saw 2 bull moose. they are my favorite animal so it was amazing! we drove back to camp and slept for a few hours. then sean and brittany came up and camped with us. i was definitely ready for a shower and our bed by the end, but camping and laughing around the fire was just what i needed.

camping
we went camping up @ forest lake this weekend {af canyon past tibble fork}
it is quite an excursion to get there, some serious off roading. but it was sooo fun & really beautiful!
first we set up camp & my wonderful boyfriend cooked dinner which consisted of italian sausages with imported cheese in the middle...fortunately camping is totally his thing so he does everything...the only time it isn't great is when i have to eat what i'm given which i guess is good for me :)

then we had a campfire, sat around & talked about twilight of all things ha. & we danced to what i call our song "than" by brad paisley. so cuteee he is always doing sweet little things that make me smile!

in the morning we did some more off roading & hanging out. it was a perfect camping trip! {minus the fact that i had to pee @ 3 in the am, that was fun}

overall conclusion: camping is fun once again!

weeks have been flying by and weekends have been going even faster! can you believe forrest and i have been dating 9 weeks? i can't! {although i'll be honest, most times i can't remember when i didn't date him...}
a few weekends ago we went down to eureka where we ate lunch and just hung around and took pictures of all the old buildings! i can't believe i found someone who takes more pictures than i do...<3

we even stopped at an antique shop where he bought me our first cookie cutter, so adorable :)

the next weekend i was sick ALL weekend and he worked ALL weekend...speaking of work i detest diamond rental...they steal my boyfriend and occupy wayyyy too much of his time. and when he isn't at work he is exhausted from his 14 hr day. blehhh.
this weekend we went on a camping excursion with the most redneck people i have ever associated with they were sooo nice. not gonna lie it was pretty awesome! {connie-the mom said this to me "i've never been out of the country, wait i take that back when i was 6 or 7 i went to disneyland and san diego zoo for a day. but i'd really like to go to alaska or canada someday." i mean i totally understand why she got confused about disneyland...there are so many nationalites there it has to be hard to remember you are still in America. ha i can't stop laughing about that}
first we found moose tracks...they were HUGE!! freaked me out!

next my darling boyfriend shot a poor little chipmunk with his bow...i will admit it was a great shot but the poor little guy probably had a family and friends, to that forrest said you don't know that he could have been a thief/outlaw stealing everyone's food and murdering. ha i love him.

and finally i made him this message. can you figure it out?

{eye love ewe aka 'i love you'}
tonight i'm home in my bed missing snuggling by the fire...and when i thought he didn't even miss me he said "just around the fire..i miss you" he might like me too?
