I am Camille. This is my attempt to define what that means.

I sometimes go through periods of following. I wear what the people I am around wear. I do the things people around me do. Please don't misunderstand. I am grossly independent and yet I struggle to stand on my own two feet when thrown into a new environment. After a week away from the city I realized I may have started to follow again. 
So before I let this city define who I am, I better do it myself. 

I love dresses and feel more comfortable in them than in pants. (This might be the result of my LDS mission and my fear of skinny jeans)

I have nice full lips and look better when I don't try to hide them- no nude lipstick for me

I LOVE to travel and will never turn down an opportunity to do so, even if that means skimping on groceries and other essentials for a while

I like to wear clothes that are unique/I hate dressing like other people

I have absolutely no idea how to do my hair

I love photography and want to use it to help people see how truly beautiful they are without photoshop

I feel best when I am creating

I get moody when I don't have a physical release (dancing, exercise, running)

In the winter I hate going outside after dark. I would rather cuddle up in a blanket

I really really love my husband

Dance is the greatest outlet for my frustrations, anxiety, joy and all other emotions

I like flowers, especially wild ones found in an open field

Although I love the idea of being vegetarian, I love eating meat

Seeing a sunset makes the world stand still and hold it's breath. I hate to miss a good sunset

When I am home alone I have to be listening to music

I cannot sleep when my house is empty

Regardless of how warm I am, my nose is always cold

I prefer doing things with other people than alone

I am learning to appreciate solitude

I stink at making new friends, especially ones my own age. Children under 8 and adults over 40 seem to like me, but I am just sooo awkward around my peers

I love food, especially ethnic foods

I love trying new foods

I love cooking unusual dishes

I miss school, a lot

I could eat sushi every day

I only like water. No other beverage does it for me

I like smiling at strangers

I feel sad when I see couples or families spending time on their phones rather than with eachother

I love my Lord and know that God loves all of His children

I want to be of service to everyone around me throughout my life

I am five feet tall and hate when people don't notice me

I do not want to be defined by my current job or position but rather by how I make those around me feel

I want to be known as a happy person although my resting face is more of a glare

*I hope this list continues to grow and change, So edits may appear. 

Nanny Love

Today I told the boy I nanny that I would be leaving for the summer. He asked why I had to go to mexico. I explained that ken is going to do research there. He quickly looked up at me with those big sad eyes and said "Don't go to mexikco. Stay where you are and be my sitter. I never want a new sitter."

It always feels good to know you're loved.

Our Captured Winter Moments

With the hope of warm weather taunting me and upsetting me as I long to pack up those winter coats in exchange for summer dresses, I might as well put up the last of our winter photos. 

This winter was full of long snowy walks, waffles and dinges, family visits, thrift shops, watching cute kids, super bowl excitement, chinese new year, new glasses and more games of hide and seek than I though possible.
