He aced it!!!

So I need to brag about my husband just a little bit. He took his block 4 test yesterday and he got 100%. So far on all of the tests that Camarron has taken he has gotten 90% or higher. Some of you might not think that is such a big deal, but let me explain Tech. School a little bit to you. Each of Cam's "blocks" can be compared to a college course. The stuff that he has to learn in one week or less is often something that would take close to a semester of college to learn normally. However, here they go to class from around 7am in the morning and finish anywhere from 4:30 to 6pm in the evening. They do get a lunch break in there as well. Their schooling is extremely intense and when you take a block test you have to get above 70% or you can't move on. If you fail more than 2 you can get washed back and re classed into something different. Pretty much what that means is you start Tech School all over and learn something different that is easier. There are a lot of people that we have met that have failed a test or two and are struggling with how much information they have to learn in such a short period of time. Cam studies so hard and amazes me with how quickly he picks up and understands all that he is learning. So yesterday's test was a pretty exciting accomplishment. There aren't many people who pull that off while here in Tech School. So I just thought I would do a post on how amazing I think my husband is and brag that he just aced his last test!

More of the Dallas Temple

Last time I posted I couldn't get these pictures to load right, so here they are.


I have to tell you about this picture. There was a dad with his two little girls playing by the fountains. When they saw Cam they stopped and watched him, so Cam walked over towards them and waved. He had no idea I was taking the picture, he was just admiring the little girls. He was so cute, my heart just melted. He is going to be the best dad in the world when we have kids.

Finally...Heaven!

The Dallas Temple



This past Saturday a group of us took a temple trip down to Dallas and went to the Dallas temple. It was AMAZING! I can't tell you how nice it was to be in the temple with my husband. It has been a while.

From left to right: Lydia Golden, Me, Camarron (He is only phase 2, that is why he still has to wear his "Blues". The others are all phase 3 and can wear their civilian clothes off base.), Bro. Chavez (He is also a 1st or 2nd Lieutenant.), Sis. Capener (Bro Capener was the one taking pictures.), Bro. Coombs, Richard Farnsworth, 2 more great guys that I feel terrible I don't remember their names :.), and Matt (who is a Staff Sargent and been in the Air Force for almost 6 years.) We had a blast!
