Cameron and Sarah spent a fun weekend together in the San Francisco bay area which her family calls home! Cam arranged a romantic sail boat tour of the bay; their guide let them steer the boat to their excitement and he even provided a darling lunch for them which included homemade cookies his wife baked. Cam also enjoyed getting to know Sarah's parents as they graciously invited him to stay at their beautiful home where they played games, sang songs (Latter-day Saint Primary songs no less just like our family does), enjoyed interesting conversation, and he raved about her mom's cooking!! He really likes her mom and dad a lot and is eager to meet her sister and brother as well!
Fast forward - we have now had the pleasure of having Sarah come visit our family here in Pittsburgh which has been delightful! When I first met her the feeling and thought that occurred to me was, "Oh, there you are!" As if I had known her in heaven and I turned around and there she was standing before me once again. It was a very touching feeling I will always hold dear. Needless to say our entire family is in love with our darling Sarah!! She is a breath of fresh air; so well adjusted and well rounded with the sweetest, most cheerful personality ever! She and Ashley have also become fast friends via long distance; they enjoy talking about various books they have read, among other things and both share a passion for pursuing work in the field of education, and can't wait to meet each other!! I have no doubt that Sarah and Paul are going to hit it off as well and she will fall in love with our little Connor bear :)
While here she and Cam took a fun road trip to Washington D.C. where they did a temple session together in the Washington temple, and went to see the monuments at night which is the most extraordinary time to do so in my opinion. While here in the burgh they also had great fun enjoying a romantic dinner on Mount Washington, taking the crazy-fun Just Ducky tour of down town history and trivia, going to a popular movie, and attended an exciting Pirates game, one of Cam's passions. Sarah loved wearing her cute Pirates shirt and hat Cam bought her and seeing our city's incredible PNC baseball park. We as a family also enjoyed a terrific stake BBQ dinner, fun conversation learning even more about her and her sweet family which ended with our traditional flaming snowballs for desert which tickled her :) When Sarah first arrived Jon and I also took her to Shadyside to Pamela's for breakfast which is always a treat.
What an extraordinary woman she is! Soon to graduate with a degree in education with the desire to teach middle school math and a love of the outdoors, hiking, etc., she is simply incredible! What fun it is observing these two in love kidlets as they begin making future plans together and enjoy this awesome time of discovery as a couple! Seeing how happy they both are, laughing, teasing each other, tenderly looking out for one another and observing the pride that beams from them when they look at one another is so endearing! Sarah is definitely a keeper and has been warmly embraced into our family.
