Happy Halloween!

So let's see... I am 21 now, and Cameron turns 20 in December, and yes, we went trick or treating. We wanted to stock up on candy so we don't have to buy it. Haha. Shows how cheap we are:) Well we only went to a few houses and got a lot of comments of how old we were to be trick or treating and plus I pulled a calf muscle running this weekend so I am not doing too well with walking, so we went to a few houses. We changed costume ideas several times, but just put these together last minute. I was a cowgirl, and Cameron was a lumberjack. I got some makeup and put a fake beard on him. It was fun. Here was the best picture we got..

We also dressed up on Friday for work. We both had potlucks and I went as a rockstar ( i did that last year and had a lot of the stuff still) Cameron was an "identity crisis" Unfortunately, we were late for work and didn't get a picture of his costume. He had several different outfits on, a comb-over and fohawk for his hair, and we pinned different men's names all over his clothes. Lots of fun!

Singing Time.

So as most of you know, I work for an insurance agency. My boss Dan was the chairman of Big-I Day here in Sacramento this year and there about 800-900 people in attendance this year. Since I am not an actual agent, and just a receptionist for the office I didn't know a lot of the questions people asked me at the convention. There were around 100 vendors at this event and you just walk around and learn more about their company and what they offer for the insurance world. Did I mention I got 2 HUGE bags full of free stuff! Pens, paper weights, giant letter openers (which I LOVE for the office!!)  footballs, beach balls, calculators, cell phone holders, magnets. Seriously the list goes on and on. Just a bunch of random junk that is fun for the office and I brought a lot of it home to hand out to nieces and nephews and Cameron:) At each vendor table you can put your business card in to win their prizes. People mostly had gift-cards but there were some i-pads and i-pods and tons of neat gadgets however you had to be present to win, and we didn't want to wait there for 2 more hours. Lunch was also served, they gave out a couple insurance awards, and they had a raffle for a lot of different prizes and gift cards and a political comic spoke to us which was very entertaining.

Well Dan asked me a little over a month ago if I would sing the National Anthem for Big-I Day. I was more than happy to. In this picture, you can see the person in the lower left hand corner holding my camera. I had her record it, however the button didn't get pushed down all the way so it was not recorded. Here is the only picture I have from the event... While I was at this event, Cameron was home sick. He has had the stomach flu for a couple days and I stayed home from work today with it as well... Not very fun:( Keep us in your prayers to get better and stay better...

My Workin' Man:)

Cameron's first day of work today. And me with him...

A Day Trip To The Bay Area

Cameron and I went to Oakland and San Francisco yesterday to go see a concert with some of our favorite bands. We saw Civil Twilight, Crash Kings, and Anberlin. We went to Oakland first to see the Oakland Temple which is absolutely beautiful! The grounds and view were breathtaking. We didn't get to do as much as we planned because of traffic and we left a little later than planned, but we had so much fun still, and enjoyed the city. Here are some pictures from our get away day.

Self-Timer Picture at the temple.

Waiting in line for the show to start..

Civil Twilight

Crash Kings. He played the guitar on the
 keyboard, wammy and everything. AMAZING!

Crash Kings

Anberlin

here is a video of Anberlin. They had these line light thingys that made
it more intense. The sound quality isn't too great, but oh well.

He's a Working Man!

He got the job! Cameron has been looking for a job since he moved to California with me. He applied for over 35 jobs and we have been dealing with nightmare after nightmare with trying to get his transfer to go through with Wal-Mart. Turns out it was a huge blessing that this job didn't go through and our prayers were answered. He got a job that pays way more than Walmart, he will be working 8-5, Monday through Friday which is perfect since I work 8:30-5. I can take him to work, and then have plenty of time to get myself to work. He will be working for ISU Francis-Pinney Insurance, doing pretty much the same thing I am doing at my job for Cummins Insurance and Valley Sierra Insurance. My boss Sallie helped get him the interview, and he got the job himself. It is an entry-level position, so he will be trained to do all this stuff, and eventually they want him to be an insurance agent down the road. He starts tomorrow and I know he will be amazing. We did some shopping for some "business casual" clothes yesterday, and DANG he looks sharp! Congrats Cameron!!

Our Big Day

August 21, 2010

“Today is the day I marry my best friend.” I hope this doesn’t offend anyone, but when I see that on wedding announcements it is so cheesy and I can’t help but laugh. But it is very true. I love that I am married to my best friend. After 8.5 months of being away from Cameron and doing the “long distance” thing, we tied the knot, and he moved to California with me. 2010 has brought a lot of new things to my life. A lot of challenges, but I have learned so much. I am so thankful that I finally have Cameron by my side and am so thankful for the strength he gives me.
Our wedding day was perfect. Although it was not the exact situation we always planned for, it was still such a special day and we know it was the best thing to do. We were surrounded by our great families, and amazing friends in my Uncle Staff and Aunt Kaye’s beautiful backyard in Lehi, Utah.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all their help! Thanks to everyone who threw me bridal showers, helped put invitations together, spent hours looking for the right dress, Mom for finally making my dress because all the others were not modest and could not fit me, drove 10 + hours with kids to get there, leaving school and work behind, getting music set up, singing and playing music for the wedding and program, pitching in to help with decorations, preparing food, working in the kitchen, putting flowers together, making cakes, making the most amazing guestbook EVER, fitting tuxes, setting up tables and chairs, pinning table cloths down because of the wind, getting me ready, taking pictures, all to make that an unforgettable day for both of us. Thank you all for your love, support, and generosity.
I also want to take this time to thank my wonderful in-laws. You hear nightmare stories about in-laws, but I lucked out big time. This family is one of the strongest families I know and I look up to every one of them, even you Jackson and Lydia, being younger than me and all. Thank you all for your strength and faith in difficult times.
Now here are pictures from Charles Ellsworth and my brother David Gentry took some as well with editing by thee Mrs. Kasey Gentry. Thank you all for your wonderful pictures and really capturing the moment in photos for us. The Beth & Cam wedding album were pictures taken by David and the Wedding Part 2 are pictures taken by Charles.

Engagement Photos

My brother David took our pictures for us up in Provo Canyon during the time we were there for family reunion. His lovely wife Kasey edited them, and we are very happy with how they turned out. Thank you picasa for being amazing and making this easier to put in a slideshow.
