The Big Move!

Some of you may have heard that Sam got into the University of Utah! We are so excited for him to start this journey and get his Degree in Computer Engineering. We have been talking for a while now about if we wanted to try to get an apartment rather than live with my dad, even though it has been just fine living with him. So we started to look for apartments in our price range that were closer to the U and finally had this brilliant idea to check out student housing. It turns out that student housing is Extremely affordable and is exactly what we are looking for; close to school, affordable, and looks like it came straight from the 70's! So we applied knowing that the waiting list was 3 months long. So we thought we would maybe move in October or something. We were hopeful so we put our requested move in date for August 22, the week before classes start. The day after we applied we got an email saying that they have an apartment available for us and our move in date would be Augu...

Our first camping trip!

Yes it has been two years since Sam and I got married and we just got around to going camping together! We went to Moon Lake which has been my family's camping spot since before I was born! It was so much fun! We got to take our nieces in our car and got a great taste of parenting! It is always so fun to spend extra time with our families. Considering that Sam isn't the biggest fan of fishing, I think we all had fun with it! We caught close to 80 fish on our trip and this year we even decided to try eating it! We all decided that trout is not too bad..so we saved a dozen or so for eating. I learned a few things about Sam on our trip..well one thing...he will not gut fish! So let me ask this...who is tougher the fish gutter(me) or the non fish gutter(Sam) lol! I just have to give him a little bit of a hard time...he did an excellent job filming the how to video. Aside from all the fishing we did some hiking and Lots of playing with the kids and getting muddy with them. I am so g...

Just Do It!

Considering I am home ALL THE TIME, I sure am bad at keeping up on blogging. Time has sure flown since we have been here in Mississippi, and it's hard to believe but it's only 18  days until Sam graduates and we make our way back home to Utah. YAY! We are so excited, but we have found some new I guess you could say entertainment..for Christmas we decided to get an X-box with money we got from family members..I am not a gamer at all, but I agreed to get the console for one purpose and one purpose only. Since our X-box came with a kinnect, we wanted a Nike video game. We have the nike fuel bands which have helped us become more active since we got them, but the video game helps you earn "fuel" on the fuel band and it also burns about 200 times each workout you do. The workouts are about 30 minutes. We have been doing this workout for about 2 1/2 weeks and it is intense.  Getting into a harder workout has been really hard for me..I realized almost instantly that I am ver...
