Life and Its Humdrum.

Not much to blog about lately... Our lives can be summed up in two pictures:

Cameron -

Katie -

Cam has been working his tail off in EMT school - and just passed an intensive 3 week course with flying colors!!! He is scheduled to take the NREMT exam (National Registry Emergency Medical Technician) on Monday! Please pray for him... I'm convinced he's gonna do great!

I have been coaching my sweet little babes on the importance of keeping your hand straight when you serve the volleyball. My job is hilarious. I'm daily blown away by the intelligence and capability of a 3 year old... I'm also daily blown away by said 3 year old's stubbornness.

To completely change the subject: I've come across a few blogs where people post a photograph every single day. 365 photographs. At first glance I thought, "Wow! Such a great way to document a year! That sounds awesome!" ...and then I considered the fact that there is no way I could commit to something like that. I'm a little too forgetful. However, I've decided it would be great to take a picture once a week and post it on this here blog... "Wordless Wednesday"... yes? no? We'll see how it goes :)

Happy Saturday!

Quote of The Day...

Kids say the darndest things... its true! Today, I was playing a tag game called "Sharks and Minnows" with a group of elementary aged students. Our pre-game convo went a little something like this:

Coach Katie: "Okay, friends, if you get tagged you'll need to sit down and become an octopus! Use your arms to tag people as they run by!"

Eddie: "Yeah! You can use your testicles!"

Coach Katie: "Eddie, I think you mean tentacles..."

Eddie: "No! Testicles, Coach Katie!"

Hope you're enjoying your day :)

The Johnsons Top Five Moments Of 2010

2010 is coming to a close and we decided to come up with our top five moments of the year. After narrowing down a long list...This is what we came up with:

5. Trip Home To Vegas for Morgan's 16th Brithday - What a treat to visit family and celebrate our sweet little sister. After our stay in the AMAZING timeshare, we couldn't keep this one off the list.

4. Tijuana Missions Trip! Our annual TJ trip was especially fun this year... Cameron played God in the evangelical outreach :) and Katie was on the dance team!

3. Boice Engagement/Wedding. Our dear friends tied the knot this year. It was SO fun to be apart of their big day!

2. Our Engagement/Wedding/Honeymoon... This one probably goes without saying. It was quite the eventful year for us! Our wedding was so special and celebrating in sunny Mexico was just icing on the cake! Bliss.

1. Snowy MARRIED! Christmas. Even better than the wedding and the honeymoon is BEING MARRIED! Our first snowy christmas as husband and wife tops off our list of favorite 2010 moments!

Here's to many more good times in 2011! Happy New Year!

Tis The Season

Cam and I just returned from our trip to Vegas to visit the Johnson fam. It was such a treat to relax with family and we even got a chance to head to Mt. Charleston for some snowy activities.

Next comes NYE. My darling husband purchased Miranda Lambert tickets for us (aka THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!)... Chris purchased the same for Sky... Thus, the Boices and The Johnsons will be ringing in 2011 in style - cowboy boots for all.

I hope its been a restful and FUN holiday season for you and yours! Happy New Years!

Hats Off To The Chef...

How sweet it is to have a husband that helps peel potatoes.

Adjustments pt.II : Husbands Perspective

Marriage has been an amazing experience so far, and I continue to pray for "the honeymoon stage" to last forever :). My wife is by far the best roommate I've ever had and here is a couple of reasons why.

1) I've never had a roommate who fixes me dinner

2) No roommate of mine has ever done my laundry before

3) Snuggling is always a perk!!!

4) There is not an overload of one type of hormone in the house

5) The newest one of them all is that there are two incomes going toward the same exact goals!!!

Let's not forget that there is the other side of adjusting I have to get used too.

One thing that comes with the territory of living with a girl is the amounts of bobby pins that you find on a daily basis! Some may be in the bathroom, some may be in the bedroom, occasionally in the living room, and even on the rarest of days I might find one on my dresser.

On another note; Never in my life did I imagine that I would have to make a decision about whether the picture frame should go over the dining room table or in the hall way or decide on if the ottoman looks better on the left side of the couch or the right side of the couch.

We have just hit our month of marriage and YES!!! the wedding advice is still pouring in. The latest advice was Communication, Comprehension, and first of all God!!! and he said it in a very motivated speaker kind of way; you know the way when you say thank you and the person still has a very intense look on there face and doesn't say you're welcome and then there's that awkward silence? As funny as those encounters are we love getting advice from different people and different mind sets!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Love,

The Johnsons
