Some words to describe Cami

These are just some words to describe Cami.

C      is for caring, compassion, concern for others
A      is for amazing
M     is for mother, mentor
I       is for incredible

J       is for joy-full, jubilant, jokester
O     is for outstanding


I have so many wonderful memories of Cami it seems like each day my mind recalls something new. Our first Girls Camp together I have a couple of memories of her. First was the zip-line.... on our way down the mountain from our hike the girls wanted to ride the zip-line. (Now keep in mind that this camp was held at my parent's property.) I had never gone down the zip-line it is way too HIGH for me. So Marianne & I told the girls we would go down and make lunch while Cami & Heather stayed up there to supervise them on the zip-line. Well needless to say that from then on Cami & Heather were considered the "Cool Leaders", because they rode the zip-line. The rest of the camp and probably for awhile after that we would refer to them as the "cool leaders". The second experience is of us driving home, the entire two hour ride we listened to and sang ABBA's Mamma Mia. From that time on I was hooked on Mamma Mia which eventually turned into going to see Mamma Mia on the big screen and of course the sing along version too. Wow I never knew ABBA had two hours worth of songs.

Cami's lessons were always so well planned and prepared. I always knew that she had a testimony of the church and of our Savior Jesus Christ. She emulated the Savior in all that she did and said. She was truly born to be a teacher and to testify of Jesus Christ.

I don't even think that I ever heard Cami say a negative thing about another person. She was always so full of life and always positive!

I will always think of Cami when I hear Katy Perry's song "Firework". It was playing on a CD on the drive up to Girls Camp this year and that was the first time I heard that song and the girls told me that it was one of Cami's favorite songs. And as I would listen to the song over and over I can't believe how fitting the song is for her. She was and I am sure is a FIREWORK- showing us all what is worth!

Love Ya Cami- Can't wait to see you again!
