CUTTER!!!

So every year our family gets together and goes to cut down a christmas tree. We go up to placer ville and has breakfast and then we continue to apple hill where we go to Carson Christmas Tree where we then wander around for like an hour to find the perfect tree. After yelling CUTTER!! like fourteen million time, one comes and finds us and cuts down our tree where we then carry it down the hill to take it home. We have been going for Four or Five years as my dad just described to me. And every year we take a family picture so here are some fun pictures from the day. Also included in these pictures are a advent calendar that i made with my sisters after thanksgiving!

Last year Logan came up with us and even got in our family picture so we thought it would be fun to send him a picture of me and a space for him. Just so he would know he was missed. So the caption under this picture should say insert logan here lol


Finally after thanks giving all the sisters got together to make advent calendars ( Sorry you couldn't make it meg we missed you) But here is my finally product. It was fun to get together and just sit around crafting and talking but i am not going to lie that after the fourth hour of working on this i was getting a little grumby with it! but i am happy for it turned out

Happy Turkey Day

So i was making my home made rolls and i needed something to do while the dough was raising. So i decided its been awhile since i have blogged and it is thanksgiving tomorrow so i thought take this opportunity to express what i am thankful for this holiday seasons. And i am going to do it in groups cause i was thinking about and how i could go one forever on every one and i think there is probably a limit on how much you can write on a blog....
To start with i am thank full for my parents and the home and the family that they have built and created. I am thankful for my sisters and the humor and the laughter that we share with each other. I am thankful for my brothers and the love and support that they give me. I am thankful for the gospel that i was blessed to be born into. I am thankful for my friends for the fun and the love that we have for each other. I am thankful for my other family(Petersens) and the love, support and kindness that they show to me every day. I am thankful for my friends that are out on mission and the love and devotion that they show to the gospel by choosing to serve the lord for two years. Finally i am thankful for the opportunity to be sharing thanksgiving with the people i love. I hope that every one that comes across this will have an amazing thanksgiving and remember to be thankful for what you have.

Look at me i blogged!

Wow that's giving you readers alot to process. I know that I am the worst blogger ever. But seriously I have nothing to really blog about so for those that check my blog every day waiting for something new here it is ( not to sound cocky or anything).

So its been along time

I know I know its been awhile since I have blogged. But the thing is i have had nothing to blog about the last couple weeks. I have just be on the go trying to get my last chance of fun in before summer ends and school starts. And i figured i should blog now sense school is starting this week and I don't know the next time that I will find time to blog again. So here it is our last day of freedom. So this last Friday me and a group of friends went down to Santa Cruz for the day to have our last day of freedom. So here are some pictures that we took through out the day and some pictures of us stuck in traffic on the way home. I want to thank every one who went. It was a spur of the moment thing and it turned out amazing. The beach was warm and the water was nice i had a blast great way to end the summer. One down one to go :)

A day in the sun.....

Here are a bunch of random pictures from the past couple of weeks. They go in backwards order from the river cats game, to the best sun brunt you will see in a long time( Check out my hand print) and finally becca wedding road trip. So i don't write more but they says that a picture says a thousand words!!!

Its been stuck in my head for days and i don't know why

1. The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

New Hair

So here it is new picture from the new hair cut i went shorter then i normally do cause dang its hot out side and the pony tail every day its just not as cute as it used to be so i hope you love it.

Short and Sweet

And also a great thanks to katie for letting me use her car cause i was to scared to drive dads big truck. So sense I couldn't decided which picture to put up I will just direct you to my face book so that you may enjoy them. But also another fun day trip was the family trip the the captial to see all of some different race cars. And after that we had a fun pinic in the park! Some of my favorites from the day.


He melts me heart just alot!!! I think I have a special place for cubby little short boys!

A day at the beach

So on saturday the single ward had planned to go to the beach which we did.  So me wanting to have all my friends in one car i called my good friend Marili Potts and asked her to borrow her van and we were off. And side not I am pretty sure that marili is the only woman or person that would allow me to borrow her car to take to the beach with a bunch of friends to a special thanks to her I feel very thankful for her. So over all it was a pretty much amazing day. First we played catch where I tried to show up my throwing skills then it was a fun game of keep away with a soccer ball. It was amazing and looking back i had so much fun but wish i would be a little more in shape because i am so sore from trying to play sports 

SAVE SECOND BASE!!!

So today was the annual Busath girls walk for the cure. This was our third time doing it and this year we had some new members. We had the original three me, katie and tracy with marianne and andi rejoin after missing last year and mom and megan doing it for the first time. It so fun to go out and do something as the sisters and mom and its just nice and as i we were getting ready today they give you this little packet of free stuff and in it there was a couple papers that says in memory of that you can write on and wear on your shirt and as i was looking at the paper I realized that i don't have any one to have to write in the memory of and i thought to myself how lucky and bless am I. So here are some pictures from today! 

My date on Saturday night

O i had the most amazing date on Saturday night. Me and my friend Ashlie went to a wedding reception which was truly amazing. This couple was something that i am now shooting to be. The love between them was incredible. Some history of this couple was that she went to serve a mission and when she came home her boyfriend who waiting for her decided to serve a mission. So through all the years of waiting they were finally sealed in the Sacramento temple. So as i watch them i felt so happy for them and wanted something like them. There love was something of a blessing. I believed sense they were faithful to each other god blessed them to be together in there happness and as i sat there watching the wedding i felt so excited for when i was going to get married and realize that there is no one else that i want to have the moments i was watching christina and brent have but some one very special. I saw them having their first dance and cutting the cake and decided there is only one special person who i want to share that with..........

What to do on a friday night?

O wow its been awhile sense i put a little something something up here. Well lets see whats new in Sam's world. Well lets see I am almost finish with school for the spring but taking one class this summer. I am still working and and trying to keep busy. For example the Sacramento Temple has come out and is letting the young single adults come on wed-friday from 8-9 to do baptizsms. So me and my friends Ashlie, Stephanie, Peter and Kurtis went it was amazing as always. Sense my mans fridays are booked for the next two years I figured that things like this would be a great way to feel my time with.

ELDER LOGAN PETERSEN

The day has finally come Logan has enter the mtc. He reported April 1 2009! I can't believe the day finally made it. I feel like I just watched him open his call. I am so proud of him it is incredible what he is doing. Two years seems like a long time but I am hoping that it will just fly by. I know it will for him maybe not for me so i just have to keep my self busy.... even though im not actually waiting for him. But my thoughts are how could i do any better then logan. He has set the bar so high its unbelievable. Over all im sad that he is gone but so happy he is on a mission doing the lords work and I know that this will be a life changing experience for him. But to get onto happy things before logan left for the MTC he got to be in my brothers wedding with me so here is a little snap shot. Maybe in a couple years logan and i will have the same snap shot just in different clothing....

A day at the temple

So as many of you know Logan is leaving for his mission soon. So this last Saturday he had a chance to go through the temple. Which he says was really cool. So that same day the ward was going to the temple and sense Logan just went through I thought it would be cool for him and I to go with the ward. It was a great experience for the both of us that I positive that i will remember it forever.

How did i get so lucky

So as everyone knows my bf is a romantic! This boy is over the top! For v-day I think that I got a present that no other girl did. As you can see I received a giant sweetheart box, which I love! But with this wonderful gift and dinner we shared, this was a sad v-day for us. This would be our last..... as you know Logan is leaving on his mission the beginning of April which I am so proud of him but the thing that sticks in my mind on v-day .. would this really be our last?

Learning how to use this thing

Seriously all I have to say is I think I might be a little bit retarded because I can not figure out how to work my blog.... I can work every other form of communication, but not this. It's killing me I don't even know how to have a friends column thing.... just thought I would share my frustration with everyone. So you know I am trying to work on it, but it's harder then it looks!

Just me!

So I'm a blog addict. I have to say I look at every one all the time, so instead of being creepy any more I gave in and made myself a blog. Another little secret I heard every one is going to go private and I just don't want to miss out! Also I feel a little weird having a blog because I can't really post about my kids or any thing, but I guess I will just have to find something to post on here!
