Wanna know more about Me? (aka Lady-Queen-Kam)

So you think you want to know more about this scary girl:
Okay then... here we go!

Here are the reader submitted questions:

➪Lease favorite food(s): mushrooms, ham, milk, bananas.

➪Favorite book: Of course I am a huge fan of the Twilight series! (go Edward! Although Alice is my favorite character) I do love me a good LDS Romance every now and again. I have read a lot of Nicholas Sparks book, but get bored of them quickly. I really like Clair Poulson books and other mystery/crime type of books. I plan on picking up a Nora Roberts book in the near future. Everyone seems to always suggest her books. We'll see. If you have any great suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I recently learned that maybe it's better to get a suggestion before you go out and buy a random book. You never know what will be inside.

➪Favorite fictional character: This is a tough one! I did mention earlier that I do love Alice Cullen! (as well as Edward. Totally NOT a Jacob fan) But I seem to be obsessed with which ever character I have seen most recently in a movie. I am weird like that. Somehow I find a way to relate to whatever movie I am watching. This is a really good question that I would love to revisit at a later date.

➪What do you do if you have free time? Honestly? I Plurk. I totally can not get enough of my Plurk friends. Especially Aubrey and Marci. I love them to pieces! They are always there to listen to me vent, make me smile, laugh (and I do mean LAUGH) and always there for a good cry. Seriously they are the best.
If I am not plurking, you can find me watching movies, playing the Wii, playing on my iPod, or just chillin' with Dustyn. We also LOVE going for rides and absolutely can not get enough time camping. I love free time!

➪Who is your "superhero" in life? I would have to say birth mothers/birth parents. I am in complete awe of them. They make one of the most difficult decisions to help someone else's dreams come true. What a selfless decision. What a life changing choice. One that I will forever be grateful for. They are most definitely my heros! I can't wait to meet a birth mother that will make the decision that makes us parents here on earth! It's hard to describe the love and respect I have for birth parents.

➪If you could tell the world just one thing, what would it be? (is anyone else singing Jewel at this point? I can't stop!) It's all okay. Kidding! I would tell the world that, "Adoption is an Option!" A lot of teenagers and unwed mothers don't realize that adoption is an option for whatever reason. Maybe they are afraid of what their friends and family would say or maybe they are afraid of the pain and hurt that comes with adoption. Whatever reason, it seems like so many are fearful of adoption. I would love to educate the world about adoption. That is how you get over your fears, right? Education? It seems like this is the case especially in small communities. Maybe. Maybe not.

➪If there was no chance in failing, would you do something different?
Oh would I! I would do so many things different. Why are we so scared of failure? I am terrified of it. It's okay to fall on your face sometimes. It is! It only makes you that much better and that much more prepared the next time around! If only it were that easy. Let's see... here are a few things that I would do differently. I would have gone to an big out of state school. I would have gone into architect or advertising or design. I would be creative! I would create. Maybe try my hand at painting, drawing, sculpting. I would go get my teaching degree in mathematics. I would run! I would get a real job! I would blog about my feelings more often. I would write a blog post good enough to post on AubreyMo.com . Oh the things I would do! So... what's stopping me?

➪What was an important lesson you learned growing up? I think for sure, it was to WORK HARD! No matter what you are doing, work hard. Go the extra mile and do what it takes to get things done. You aren't going anywhere if you don't work hard.

➪What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? All I can think is embarrassing moment, which I won't share here. I'm still embarrassed. But if anyone else can think of something, go ahead... share. I will keep thinking, but I can't come up with anything at this point in time.

➪Do you have any brothers or sisters? In fact, I do! I have a younger sister JaKell (28) who is married to Brandon. She has three kids (CamRee, Tryen, and HadiLee) and two step kids (Gillian and Brynnley). Then I have a younger brother Jace (26) who is married to Tina. They have three dogs (Aspen, Tyke, and Mojo). Then last but not least is Chet (18). He is single and starting a new job! (oh and a dog named Diamond! And a family dog named Camo)

➪What is your middle name? Lee

➪Name five favorite things about your hubby:
Only five? ;)
1-He is creative! I love what he can do with a paintbrush or with a computer. He is definitely talented. I could look at his paintings and artwork for hours. He listens to my suggestions and doesn't get upset when I critique his art (even though I know nothing about art). I LOVE talking art with him.
2-His desire for children. I always wanted a large family. With the infertility issues and adoption challenges we have faced, I have decided that I want two kids at the most. He still has hopes and dreams of a large family. A little heart ache can't get him down. As far as a large family, we'll see. I'm still set on two.
3-He always shows his respect for me. He always opens my door, always walks on the outside, always lets me go first, always makes me feel special. He is always there to do little favors and errands for me. Most of the time I know he doesn't want to, but he does it anyways without complaining. I don't have to question if he loves me.
4-He gets so exited over little things. Anything to do with Apple/Macs, movie previews, electronics, TV's, just anything. He comes home and tells me all about what he read about that day. Sometimes I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's fun to see him so excited.
5-He loves the Lord. He honors his Priesthood. He is always ready to serve others and do the best that he can. He tries hard to be the best he can at his calling, he always has great comments to make, he can be counted on when given an assignment, he has a testimony and is not afraid to share it, he helps me be a better person. We aren't perfect by any means, not even close. With Dustyn's help, we are continually trying to better our lives and the loves of those around us.

➪If I lived closer, would you eat Fat Sticks with me? PS we should eat them anyway. Uhm... heck yah! Let's go! Aubs, I am glad we share an obsession with Fat Sticks. We should totally have Fat Sticks soon! P.S. You should meet my friend Carrie. We should all have Fat Sticks!

➪Am I your favorite? (Wait. Don't answer that). Srsly. Do you even have to ask?

➪Umm... weren't we going to swap blog posts?!?! We totally need to get on that!

➪What is your favorite place to eat? Okay, what place isn't my favorite, really. Let's see... there's Texas Roadhouse, Fat Jack's, Cafe Rio, Jason's Deli, anything Thai, Steve's Steakhouse, Zupas, Spaghetti Factory, Cheesecake Factory, Melting Pot, Chili's, and many, many more.

➪What is your favorite Wii game and what is your highest score? Well it would for sure be Dr. Mario! I LOVE that game. I don't know what my highest score is, but I don't really know of anyone who can beat me. My dad can occasionally.

➪Why did you name your daughter Hannah? Do you have names for your future children? It was kind of a joke when I was in college and in my 20's. I would always say, "Oh my Hannah!". I always joked that I would name my daughter that. When Dustyn and I got married we talked about both liking the name Hannah. I didn't think we would ever actually use it. When Hannah was born, we didn't really know how old the baby had to be in order to give her a name and a blessing. Just in case, we came up with a name quickly and that is what we came up with. (We later learned that she was not old enough)
We do have names for our future children. We have a boy name and a girls name. I hope we get to use both. I would share them, but I don't want to just yet. ;)

➪Who is your favorite friend in Stansbury Park? Stansbury Park? Where's that? Ha ha! Kidding! It would definitely have to be Anika! ;) Oh yeah and for sure her mom!

➪If you could live anywhere in Utah, where would you live? Yes, Arianne, I wish I could live closer to you, but I really, really love Sevier valley. I don't think I could ever leave. It's my most favorite place in Utah. Maybe you should retire here. ;)

➪How big was the biggest deer you ever shot? If it wasn't 2AM, I'd go find a picture to scan in! It was when I was 16, my first deer. A 3 X 4. We shot it and were back in town before 7AM on opening morning. Nice.

➪When are you going to come see me? Soon! When are you going to come see me? ;)

➪What is your favorite store to shop at? I love, love, love Target most of all. Can't get enough. I love me some IKEA. I love American Eagle for Jeans, Maurices for shirts, and Keen shoes (where ever you can find them). If I were skinnier I'd shop at Gap, Banana Republic, etc. (oh, okay... and richer)

➪What is your favorite treat? I love Ice Cream (it can't be thick or creamy. Ew) or popsicles. Mostly anything cold.

➪What is your favorite hobby when you have free time? I know I mentioned some before, but I wanna add photography in there. I love taking pictures and learning photoshop. I also love going to the school with Dustyn. I need to learn some more hobbies. I would love how to do more handcrafts.

➪What is on your birthday wishlist? Hmm... I don't know just yet. I will post about it when I have thought more about it. It's a very important list, you know. :D

I think that is all on this edition of "Getting to know Lady Queen Kam!"
Until next time, have a great Thursday!

Pass-along cards? Anyone? Anyone?

Do you ever have a hard time titling your post?  I do.

Well...  our pass-along cards are done! YAY!  I know most of you are thinking that it is about time we finally got on that.  I mean after all, it's only been two years!  I know!  Anyways, I'd love to share some with you!  If you want a few (when we get them... we don't actually have them yet.  But soon.  If you happen to be taking a trip to St. George soon, let me know!) email me your address and I will send you a few!  dustynkamieATgmailDOTcom   I am so excited to see them! Yipee!  THANK YOU UNCLE MATT!  Oh, and incase you missed it or forgot, we need your pass-along cards!  We have an adoption board hanging in Dustyn's classroom.  I am also going to take some to the local hospital and women's shelter.  So feel free to email me and I will send you my address.

Anyways... on to my day.  It was a pretty good one!  My dad text me and asked me if I wanted to attend a funeral with him.  Of course I said yes.  It was the funeral of his cousin's husband.  It really was a great funeral.  I am so glad I went.  Kent was a great man!  I didn't know him well and only saw him occasionally around the holidays.  But I learned a lot about him today.  He really lived a good life.  He was a great man who was loved by many!

During the funeral there were so many great things that were said.  But since this week brings the 4th year anniversary of losing our Hannah, there was one thing that stuck in my mind.  They were talking about life and how there are 3 stages.  Kind of like a 3 act play.  (President Packer has talked about this before)  We are currently in the 2nd act.  When we leave the 1st act and come into the 2nd act (this mortal existence) there are so many people that are happy to see us and to be a part of our lives.  It is the same way when we leave this life.  We may feel sad, but there are so many more people on the other side that are happy to see our loved ones, just as it was when we arrived on earth.  It makes me happy to think about all my many wonderful relatives that have passed on that are taking care of my baby.  She is there with so many dear people.  My grandfather, Dustyn's father, Dustyn's sister, and many, many great grandparents... just to name a few.  How can we be sad about that?  She is with people we love who love her dearly.  What a blessed plan our Heavenly Father created.  He loves us so much.  I am so thankful of the knowledge that I have of the Plan of Salvation!  I am so excited to be reunited with my dear family members who have passed on.  And even meet a few that I never had the opportunity to know.  What a happy day!  (But I am hoping it is about 50+ years down the road!  :)

After the funeral, my dad and I picked up Dustyn and we went for a drive to see if we could see any deer.  We saw two bucks, but no luck.  Maybe tomorrow.

It really turned out to be a good day.  

There were so many other things that I wanted to say today, but my brain is blank.  So I guess that is all for a Monday.  We'll see how Tuesday turns out!

Buffalo Hunt

Last Friday, Brandon, Dustyn and I drove out to the Henrie Mountains to go hunting buffalo with my Grandpa. There we met my Dad, Grandpa, Uncles Danny, Scott, Ray, Matt, and Pete. We had a great time!! I love going hunting with my family. Of course, it was a boys weekend away, but I snuck in on the fun. Whether they wanted me there or not... I was there to stay and I had a great time!! We rode wheelers, saw some big deer, went on a few short hikes, drove around in the truck and did a LOT of playing in the dust! We even got to see a buffalo that the neighboring camp had killed. Actually everyone (besides me) helped to skin, bag and hike it out. They are some large animals. Too bad I don't have a picture. But I was really sad that the weekend went so fast and that it was time to come home. Here are some pics of the exciting weekend!!

Here is a great story that dad wrote on Monster Muleys.

Mom's Elk


Well mom got her elk last night. She did a great job and apparently made some amazing shots. But I just thought I'd post a picture. I am sure mom and dad will be posting better ones soon!

Life

Well not much has been going on with us lately, just being busy.


Last weekend we went camping. My mom's Elk Hunt started last Saturday, so we have gone up to Fishlake everyday waiting for her to find an elk. It's been a lot of fun. We decided that we better stay home tonight for YM/YW, although we'd rather be in the mountains! It is beautiful up there right now! All the leaves are changing and it is so pretty! I am so happy that fall is here! The best time of the year! Yay!


I have been keeping very busy subbing and I am LOVING it! I have a lot of fun! I might have Friday off. That will be the first day off since I started! I want to work, but the teacher that I am subbing for this week it coming back earlier than scheduled... but I can't change it on Subfinder, so I just have to hear of a job by word of mouth. Which makes it kinda hard and tricky. I guess I could take one day off. :P

That is pretty much all that is going on. It seems like we are running non-stop. Dustyn got a part-time job tutoring at the Dorm. He starts that tomorrow. He also does tutoring at the school on Wednesday's, so he is really busy too. But I guess busy is good.

We're back!

We have been gone since Friday. We went up camping up on Seven Mile. It was a great time. My dad had some friends up there that were Elk Hunting. We had a great time getting to know them and sharing funny stories about each other. We took the boat out on Saturday and had fun riding around. Dustyn spent some time painting.

It was a great weekend!
