.pandora.

so in my previous post i wrote about my valentine's gift... well i'm really spoiled. so cameron has been working on this gift for over a year and finally got it all put together (and saved up the $) to give it to me. first of all, i had NO IDEA what pandora was until now. i know, i'm not up with the trends.. and how does he know about them anyway?? i'll never know. but he picked out this amazing bracelet and all the charms that have such sentimental value to both of us. now, not only did he give me this bracelet, but he made a shutterfly book with pictures describing each charm and how it resembled some aspect of our lives. i just could die... anyway, here are the charms.

this is the may birthstone charm. i have 4 birthstone charms.. one for each of us.. cameron, me, wyatt, and the new babe coming in may. this stone resembles our first valentines together before he left on his mission where he gave me a gold rose


this is for our adorable dog belle.. who filled our childless void for several years.

this resembles not just having our children, but the journey it took to get wyatt.. well worth it.

this is for all the amazing trips we've taken together, brazil, puerto rico, new orleans, belize, honduras, cozumel, venezuela, grenada, hawaii, florida, and many more.. and many more to come, hopefully.

this is for our house and how we never thought we'd be there so long, but we've fallen in love with it, and the neighborhood. it certainly keeps us (ok mostly cameron) busy, but we feel so great when we look back at how great it looks. hopefully the basement will be finished soon after the baby arrives in may :)

this symbolizes the many scuba dives we've been on... and especially the one where the cute little starfish lost it's life because of us.. oops. and that's a real 14K gold starfish.

cameron says this one represents how lucky he is to be my husband.. all together now, Awww.

this is for my graduation from the U and from nursing school.

and finally, this resembles my passion for my job. i love being a nurse.

i just wanted to thank cameron so much for being such a stellar husband. he is the perfect combo of manly, carefree, organized, sweet, and hardworking. it seems that where-ever i fall short in life, he's there to pick up my pieces. he completes me. my love for him has just exploded seeing him as a father. he is so attentive to wyatt and gets just as excited, if not more so, than i do when wyatt learns something new or does an adorable trick. i hope he know just how impressed i am with him every day, even if it's not said. thanks honey, for everything. the bracelet really is such incredible proof to how lucky i am to be your wife. olive juice.

by the way, i did get cameron a we-wood watch for valentines... seems minute compared to my gift, but i think he liked it :)
