He's the one for me!

Cameron's birthday is two days before Christmas. He's told me that as a child, it really sucked. He always got jipped. He pretty much hates his birthday. So ever since we've been together, I've really made an effort to separate the two and make his birthday a special day, because it IS! The love of my life was born! So his birthday is pretty much my favorite holiday.  :)

Instead of a run down of the things we did, I've been wanting to record the reasons I love this man, and why he's the one for me.

He is my first and only True Love. I didn't date much... I pretty much knew what I was looking for and what I wanted. When we became friends, I knew I could marry him before I realized I was in love with him. I knew he would be a wonderful father and a loving husband.   

When we were engaged, people ask me what I loved about him and why I was going to marry him. At the time, I couldn't even identify it, I couldn't explain it. I probably looked like I had no idea what I was doing. But I KNEW he was my eternal companion. I just knew it.

Now, if you ask me why I love him I could go on for days. (I wont. But maybe this will be a series of entries...)

Why I love Cameron / Why Cameron is The One for Me...

He makes me want to be better. He lovingly helps me realize my potential, and encourages me to be my best self.

He loves and obeys Heavenly Father. Of all the out-of-the-ordinary things he has done in his life, he has without-a-doubt made his major decisions according to what Heavenly Father asks of him. I know I can rely on him to make faithful decisions for our family, even if I don't entirely understand or even agree.

I trust him. I know he is committed to our marriage and our family.

Cameron understands the Hawaiian culture but was raised on the "mainland". When it comes to the Hawaiian culture, there is much to know and love.  I was raised around this culture and it is a very big part of who I am. Cameron understands this. However, I also have my pioneer heritage and the "white" side of me... which Cameron also understands. A match made in Heaven (possibly literally!).

Cameron is soft spoken. He gets very passionate about things, if you know him, he can be loud and silly. But when it comes to our relationship he has never yelled at me. EVER. He is more composed than I am during "discussions".

Cameron is forgiving. I have seen him forgive time after time. Sometimes it is not easy, but he continues to forgive and give 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th...) chances. He inspires me.

He makes me laugh. If you know Cameron, you know his silly. really silly.

Cameron Loves me. I know it. That's the best feeling in the entire universe!

He loves his children. They bring him so much joy. He tells them everyday that he loves them. He just cant get enough of them (expect when its time to change a dirty diaper).

He is amazing with children. He can relate to children no matter their age... and they LOVE him! Absolutely adore him.

He doesn't watch scary movies. Which works out perfectly because I HATE scary movies. I really really really DO NOT have any desire to watch anything that might possibly give me nightmares (I still have dinosaur dreams from Jurassic Park. Yes, I'm "weak" and I don't have a problem with it.) Cameron dislikes scary movies as much as I do.

He cooks! Seriously, this guy can whip up ANYTHING and it always tastes amazing. It blows my mind.

He's talented. He sings. He plays instruments (uke, guitar, piano, drums...). He dances. And he's GREAT at it. He's also a charmer.

He's handsome. That perfect smile and those hazel eyes... swoon.

Cameron has taught me how to enjoy life. It's not a sin to have a little fun. He's helped me relax and enjoy the journey. 

Yes, he's amazing what can I say. I love him. Forever isn't long enough!
