never forget.

today marks the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. although i do not remember the actual event because i was only 6, it has still made an impact on my life. i mean how can it not? Ever year on this day i watch how united we become. We may not dress the same, have the same religion or standards, look the same, or eat the same foods, but we are all Americans. We are all people trying to figure out what we are saposed to do here on Earth. I will never forget those terrible men that had the nerve to kill numerous amounts of innocent Americans. What they did is cruel and they will be punished. i am proud of the individuals that went back in to save others. i am proud of the fire fighters that rushed into the burning buildings without even considering the risk they were taking. i am proud of the families that have lost members that have forgiven the men that caused this to happen. i am proud to be an American.

take time to listen to this. never forget.

BYU Cougar

This morning at 4 am Logan left for college. Mom went with him to get him all settled into his new life. Hes rooming with Jarom Roney. Jarom is our cousin and they are going to have the best time at college. The last thing Logan said to me was "Cami, dont like boys". To say the least i think hes worried. Hes been the best older brother. Hes going to be in heaven because he thinks that Zion has the prettiest girls in the world. my only question is why Zion has to be 2,000 miles away? oh well. I'm pretty sure hes going to miss our family because lets be honest...there is alot to miss. But hes going to have the time of his life and i wish him the best of luck!

como se dice...

today me and rachel took a roadtrip to the spanish branch to visit rosa garcia. and it was super funny. first off we only understand so much spanish. at one point rachel turned to me and said "do you ever get the feeling that they are talking about you, but you have no idea" basically story of our day. we could not control our laughter when a man behind us was totally of key and tune during the sacrament hymn. i dont know why but everything is so much funnier in another language. we were the only white people that attended. well except for the missionaries which were a great help translating. i also decided that little kids that speak spanish have the key to my heart. and this one girl was yelling the young women theme, like really? we are inside. we will attend there again because its much more entertaining than our wards.

p.s. Rosas brother came home from his mission. yay for the food after church.

big sister

i have a big sister named stacey mckenzie kinney. a sister doesnt have to share blood or a last name with you. she doesnt have to share your brush or your favorite shirt. a sister can most definetly be unbiological and live 2000 miles away. stacey is just awesome. we share the same sence of sarcasm and it gets super funny sometimes when the creative juices start flowing. we are not afraid to tell each other when the other person is being a complete idiot. we can call each other and vent about our beautiful wonderful lives. we just get each other. i know for sure that we were saposed to meet each other. no one can replace my sister. i love her and miss her because she lives all the way in utah. but we both know that her being there is what is right, so it makes it alot easier to live with. i am so grateful God blessed me with her in my life. love youuu!

yummmyy

thumbs up if youre a loser

thanks for being my sister.

small town usa

i love being a southern girl. theres just some kind of pride about it. plus what kind of guy isnt attracted to a southern girl drawl. summerfield is just the kind of place i would love to raise my kids. God blesses us with breathe taking sunsets every night. we have fire flies & shade trees. going bare foot is totally acceptable & grandparents take their grand kids fishing. you cant go to the store without seeing 20 people you know & bon fires are a daily accurance. i could not ask for more.





we visited grandpa & grandma bennett, they were suprised.

he can eat almost anything..

he can climb the tallest mountans..

and he made the coolest family ever.

happy fathers day daddy!

i would rather break my leg than chip my tooth.

Monday June 13,2011. This is the day i chipped my tooth. i hate ugly teeth, so this was my worst nightmare ever. thankfully Tanner had a dentist appointment this morning. when i say i would rather break my leg than chipp my tooth i am being totally serious. bad teeth grose me out to no end. i couldnt thank my dentist enough for helping me out this morning. shout out to Dr. Adkins!

Me, Rachel, Aaron, and Mr. Stafford went tubing yesturday at Belews lake. me and rachel were on a tube together when the incident happened. i kinda dont remember it because it happened so quickly. basically we hit a bad bump and flipped. she flipped on top of me and i got stuck under the tube, finally let go and hit the water super hard. Dear rachel, LOOSE WEIGHT! just kidding. but really it hurt. blood was coming out of my mouth and my bathing suit bottoms were at my feet. cool. i was a hot mess to say the least. my jaw was killing me, blood was gushing cause i busted my lip, AND MY TOOTH WAS CHIPPED. inside i was freaking out. but i kept it together. the only slightly mean thing i said was "rahel, you are a fat lard" but she knows i love her & shes super skinny so im aloud to joke around like that.

♥

my dentist fixed it super quick. i went in there, he shot me up with the good stuff, could not feel a darn thing, and then bam...better than it was before. not the best, but i guess thats a price you pay for having fun. the funny part was when i started druling everywhere and i tried to drink water and it spilled everywhere. i could read his mind "bless her heart". i was totally thinking the same thing.

dear camille...

i decided to go through all of my old letters today that my friends and family had written me while at girls camp. some of them made me smile and others made me wonder why those people even wrote me.

this is my pride & joy. dev wrote me two letters that read "Cami, I hope you have a good time at camp. If you die can I have one of your stuff? Don't die, Love Devin" .... dev are you sure you only want one of my stuff? the next year he wrote "Dear Cami, I miss you. Love Devin" that time i smiled.

This kid is Tanner aka Trevor. Tanners lettes made me laugh because he is a unique child. his first one read "Dear Camille, I don't know what to say but i guess i miss you? I heard you almost barfed. From Tanner." i think the question mark completed it. his second one read "Hey Cami, What have you been doing in girls camp,are you staying in a tent or a cabin. what stuff do you do at the lake. If you ever have a gun don't put to much gun powder in it, From Tanner" does he know i cant reply? i get the feeling mom made him write me...

Logans were even more pointless. cant wait to see what interesting things they write this year! oh p.s. ITS SUMMER TIME Y'ALL 

cause we're country

Yesturday was probably my most favorite day in forever. i went to Kelsey Bryants house & we rode four wheelers for a good three hours. we also went mudding and got soaked and groudy right before a church dance, but it was most defnetly worth it. she showed me around her small town of Caswell and i got to meet the cutest little boy with the most adorable country accent on the planet. overall the day was totally worth the 45 min car ride to "east china" as mom would call it.

we clean up well. &with only 30 min to get ready(:

then the second best part of the day was getting to see SARAH KINNEY! it was her first dance last night and i can honestly say i did my job in embarassing her. everytime she would dance a litle bit i would scream "GO SARAH, GO SARAH, ITS YOUR FIRST DANCE! ITS YOUR FIRST DANCE!" i love this girl!she cracks me up. favorite thing she said the whole night was "they can fix houses, mow lawns, paint houses, and everything else, but the cant work an ipod!" super funnyy

judgement day

aparently someone was kind enough to warn all of North Carolina that judgement day will be this saturday. May 21, 2011. i was on my way to Raliegh this weekend and it was all over the bilboards. either we are the only state that needs to repent or the preacher has gone crazy. if God was going to warn someone he would warn states up north. the south is a simple place where the biggest sin is when you forget to hold the door open for a lady.

fake it till you make it

there are about two weeks left of school & im barely making it. so until the end im faking it. i hope that i can evetually pull it all together and make it through the 10thh grade. if not... i guess life will go on (:

young&reckless

Tonight at youth group me rachel & mckay talked about all the times at girls camp that we definetly didnt listen to any of our leaders. & it made me realise that if we would have been "those girls" who do everything they were told then we woulnt have any stories to tell our children. and looking back now i would make every single mistake all over again, just because. Me McKay && Rue are completely different than all the other girls at church. we kinda sorta make our own rules. but overall we got everything we needed to learn from camp....

like how to make a fire...

and adapt to different environments...

and expect the uexpected...

cant wait to see what we learn this summer at camp(;

Chapstick.

I have a friend and her name is rachel. rachel has a really bad addiction to her chapstick. so this weekend we went down to the beach. and once we finially go to the hotel guess who couldnt find her chapstick? so we went back to retrace our steps and it hit me that i had my chapstick in my hand. we have the same kind so me being the smartgirl iam decided to chuck my chapstick behond her and she saw it and was like "AAAAAHHH YESS!" and i was like rachel thats mine. she hates my guts. now after typing that i realise that it was a total "be there moment". anyways we stayed at a hotel with a bunch of long boarders and a baseball team. yum. later when we were laying out on the beach a bunch of guys were walking straight toard us. we were all like umm are they goin to walk aroud us or what. cause they just kept coming stright for us. then one guy just straight runs at us about to jump over us and then stops. we ended up meeting them and getting a couple pictures. we actually went in the water. mainly cause we had to pee and we were to lazy to go all the way to the bathroom. but we just ran and dove in. once we were all in for about 1 minute we all came to a conclusion that our boobs had never been that cold in their whole lives. overall it was a fun trip and we sung our little hearts out the whole way home. i love wilmington, beach.

School on Friday is a joke

Today is Friday. School on Friday is a complete waste. We never do anything. Everyones mindset is "well its friday so ill just wait till monday to do anything". well atleast thats what goes through my head. I thought that today would be a wonderful day. First because im going to the beach after school with my friends, second cause its a firday. But i was super wrong. first i wake up at the but crack of dawn for seminary and we have to watch the lamest movie ever! i was excited to maybe play a game but no we had to watch a movie, WITH THE LIGHTS ON (which creates the biggest glare ever!). then in second period i go outside so that my group can film a movie. not paying much attention to where im going ..casue im cami, i completely face plant straight into a pole. yesss. i ran into a pole. some people think that its not possible. well the huge lump on my forehead will prove you wrong. now im in computer apps. aka the biggest waste of my life and my teacher wont let me pee? like is that even allowed? dont i have rights to pee when i got to pee? who knows anymore. and the only song i have stuck in my head is "its friday friday. gotta get down on friday" today is just not my day.
