NINE THINGS ABOUT CAMERON!!!

Cameron worked at Virgin Megastore in the AZ Mills Mall before his mission. If you know Cam, this WAS a very fitting job for him then. He's very into music and gets along well with all types of people. What's funny is that through most of his mission, he planned on returning to work there after his mission. Once he got home and realized he was getting hitched soon, he realized this wouldn't be the best job to support a family! THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!
Cameron got his private pilot's license about a year and a half ago (July 2006). He is one of the best pilots ever--seriously. He is very cautious, checks EVERYTHING, and doesn't fly if he doesn't feel good about it. I've always felt safe with him.


Cameron suffers from what is knows as "Achoo Syndrome" (no, I'm not making this up!). Once he walks outside into the sun, he begins to sneeze and can hardly open his eyes. You will rarely see him outside without his shades. We actually think Haylee suffers from this same syndrome!
Cameron was on the golf team in high school all four years and was on the varsity team his sophomore through senior years. He LOVES to golf and is very good at it. Funny story: at one of his matches, his mom and grandpa were there to watch him. He was struggling so they thought maybe they were making him nervous. They decided to leave and told him goodbye, but they didn't really leave. His next shot was NOT good and a few "choice" words slipped from his mouth (words he DEFINITELY would not have said had he known they were there still). It was not a happy day!
Cameron was in the marching band in high school. Those of you who have seen the movie The Other Sister are surely chuckling to yourselves right now.:) He played the baritone mostly. I have been assured by Cameron and his family that the band was a popular and cool thing at Show Low High School.:) Let's hope so....



Cameron's weight is now at the lowest it's been since he was a sophomore in high school! He got to his biggest (about 310 lbs) and we decided something needed to be done cuz he was not able to lose it on his own with diet and exercise. We chose the Lap Band surgery and went to Tijuana to have it done (I know what you're thinking!). The doctor who performed the surgery has actually taught American surgeons how to do it. The hospital there was gorgeous--more beautiful than any hospital I've seen here in the states. He had the surgery on a Friday and was back at work Monday morning. The Lap Band restricts your amount of food intake, but it takes a lot of hard work and exercise to really lose a lot of weight. He now weighs 220 lbs.
Cameron can be a very stubborn boy. His mom can attest to this! He doesn't necessarily like to be "told" what to do (although he plays along very nicely with me!). He isn't bratty, by any means. Just likes to do things on his own!


Cameron is hairy. No other way to say it! The kid's even got hair on his feet! I remember seeing this the day after he got home from his mission and wondered how I'd never noticed it before! He has such a thick beard that there are many days around, oh say, 4ish that I ask him if he shaved that morning (which he usually did). In high school if he had a date that night, he would not only shave that morning, but also right before the date! Not many juniors in high school with that problem!


Cameron is extremely easygoing. Not much that will get this kid riled up. And even if something does, you probably wouldn't know it. I've noticed that when he does get upset it is usually with himself and not anybody or anything else. This is probably one of the main reasons I married him. We only need one crazy person in this house and I claimed that spot a long time ago!


This is a fun tag cuz the hubbies don't usually post very much on the blogs. This is their time to shine! Thanks Erin! I'm not necessarily gonna "tag" anyone, but here are some of my friends I think should do it about their hubbies: Kym, Becca, both Brittneys, Tawni, Kindy, Becky, Julie and Molly!
