I can do it!

Recently I have put on a little weight. Maybe it is the freshmen fifteen hiting me my senior year or maybe it is marriage, every one says you always get heavier after you get married. I didn't think I would ever have that problem because I have always weighed around 135 my whole life. But recently I have put on an extra ten or so pound and let me tell you it is not my favorite. So starting tomorrow it is time to exercise more and watch what I am eating. I am not going to go crazy but I am going to try simple steps to help me. Ps this blogs is one of the simple steps. They say if you make it public that you are try to loosing weight people will ask you about it so you will feel more obligated to do. I didn't put it on facebook because I didn't want that many people to know just my sisters who read this and maybe some close friends who happen upon this post.
So, Simple Steps to help other then running/walking every morning.
1. Drink more water ( Time to invest in a big water bottle)
2. Try to cut down on egg and dairy (They say cheese is every ones weekness but I will try to be strong)
3. Cut down on sweets. I didn't want to say I was cutting them off completely but maybe just less the intake.
4. More yogurt when it comes to snacking
5. It says to take up a hobby so you are not just sitting watching T.V. and you wont think about cravings. As of yesterday I started to make a skirt so that will be my first distraction.
Finally during my walk slash running it says you will help your calorie burn if you walk, run, sprint and repeat, we will see how well that goes.

Starting tomorrow is day one. My goal is to lose ten pounds by August 1st. So I will weight in tomorrow morning then check it every Friday maybe I will post the weight maybe not. Wish me luck and hopefully I don't sleep in my first day

Date night

Sometimes I get ahead of myself and I have these crazy ideas that come into my head and my husband is nice and he just goes along with me. So I had promised my friends at work that I would bring in homemade donuts. Then we got a hold of a Cinnamon rolls recipe that we wanted to try and it was chicken wing Friday. So on Friday we made home made chicken wings, rolls and donuts. Let me tell you when the oven is on for so long it gets a little messy and hot in this tiny apartment. Overall we were very successful and here are the pictures to prove it!








So my husband was wonderful and made the rolls all my himself and I made the donuts and chicken wings and then there is us at the end of the night full and tired!

I am trying to be creative

So I found this craft on ourbestbites.com and it was so cute I had to try it. You just needed Mason Jars and tissue paper and glue! I think they turned out really cute. Well not as cute as I really wanted but good for me!

The post you all have been waiting for!

PICTURES!


So to start off this is our kitchen that has stuff every where on the counter tops but we probably use it all (most of the time)


This is our fun table. If you look you can see little boxes on the table. My mother bought my Charlie Brown Halloween ornaments, they are so freaking cute!


This is our living/family room. If you notice on the blue chair our first pet together (pillow pet) we love him and we have fun hiding him around the apartment so the other person finds him randomly!


This is our bathroom.

Our TINY washer and dryer, it takes to cycles for it to actually dry anything

This is our extra room which is the office where if one of us has homework and the other does this is where we go to get it done.


The perfect size dresser that fits in that tiny little nook.

Our Cal king bed that was wonderful donated by Mama Alice and Papa Terry!


Finally this is the closet that we hide everything extra in. I try to keep the doors close for the most part but sometimes they just bust open from amount of stuff....

Back to school

I figured since I have some free time I should update you all on my exciting married life in Rexburg, Id. School has officially started and so far its going to be a long semester. Luck enough for both me and Jake we have jobs on campus, he starts at 7:45-11 everyday working as a secretary in the academic advisory center, which he has to wear shirt and tie every day which he doesn't enjoy but he looks really good in. I on the other had only work three days a week at the gym on campus working 5 am-10. It is not so bad and we have a lot of down time at work that we are able to work on homework. We are living in a really cute two bedroom apartment, called Peterson Pointe. Jake is taking 15 credits this semester which includes Organic Chemistry which he swears is going to be the death of him. I am taking seventeen credits and with me major I feel like all the class are the same and overlap so either that is going to make life easy or become really annoying. The weather up here is still looking nice which is a plus for the first week of school by it can go from good to horrible in a matter of days so were keeping our fingers crossed that it stays good. I was so good and took pictures of my apartment to post but they are still on my camera at home so hopefully I will be able to post them within the next day. O also in our ward every one either has a baby or is pregnant OR is on their third child. Every one says that's what I get for moving into a two bedroom apartment so hopefully it is not something in the water at church or I am going to start becoming inactive (not really). Well that's my little update on our lives. Jake wants me to change my blog name because I am not Just Sam Busath any more so if any one has any suggestions I am open for them cause I am just not creative!

So happy!

Dear Blog World,
Sorry that I have been nonexistence in the past couple weeks. Things have been just busy busy busy. I am finally finishing up my online classes in the next couple weeks. Then the big day comes. I am going to be getting married to this man....


In 25 Days!!!!!!!!!! Then sadly I will have to move my blog because I wont be Just Sam Busath any more. I will be Sam Peterson (weird). So I hope to get on top of blogging again soon after the wedding but we will see :)

Missing Someone

Just a disclaimer before reading the rest I love all my siblings equally. They all mean the world to me and I love being with all of them!!

But....

There is one that I am really missing right now. My oldest. She is living her new adventure in idaho. I am so proud of the courage that she has shown and the love and support she has given her family. She is doing great and living life and getting use to the changes of not being in California any more but let me just say I miss her. I don't want her to come back cause that would be wrong of me but I do miss her. I love her dearly and soon enough we will be a little closer together when I go back to school but I just have to say that it is still a little wierd that I can't go over to here house before work and she will fix me lunch. But I love our random phone calls and we will probably get into picture messaging more so i can see her boys. I love her!

So this blog is a shout out to her that I love her and miss her but so proud of her and I look up to her for all the courage that she has shown and want to thank her for all the support that she has always given me!




Ps Andi we have alot of pictures together! We look the best in this one
