Singles Ward Camp Out


Our relationship got started at a week long church camp the second to last week in June 2014.
We had met just a few weeks earlier and hadn't really hung out much, but I asked if he was going to the Camp out and he said he would try.
He couldn't get the time off work, so he would drive into town every morning for work, and then come back up the mountain as soon as he got off. It seemed crazy to drive over an hour into the mountains every evening, just to have a few hours before going to bed and then having to leave early every morning, but Im glad he did.
Everyday I would wait for him to come back after work, and then we would spend every minute together late into the night until he had to go to sleep to work the next day.
Being out in nature with no distractions of technology or things gave us the opportunity to really get to know each other on a deeper level. We would hang out at the firesides and evening activities, and then we were the last people to watch the fire go out late at night. We would sit and talk, and make sandwiches as we sat under the stars.
On day one Michael was just a friend I kinda crushed on but hardly knew. By the end of the week he was the person I spent every minute with.  Nothing brings you closer than sitting alone by a fire late at night under the stars and talking for hours.



Even though I was the crazy girl who ran around in camo hats with no makeup, and hadn't had a real shower for at least 3 days, for some reason he still found me somewhat attractive? 
 I guess he saw my craziness as adventurous or something.
