I think I made too much....

Growing up with 10 brothers and sisters my mom always made a lot of food. Now being married I often make way too much for dinner or have a fear that I didn't make enough when we have a party. At the last minute I am always throwing something together that has nothing to do with the main meal just to make sure I have enough.
I also tend to buy meats in bulk. I dont' know why when its just the two of us. My freezer is packed with meet that are 4lbs or more. I buy meat like every 2 or 3 months. What started all this craziness was I always wanted left overs when i cooked. But in the middle of cooking I would think I have way too much and start calling people over dinner. So in the end I would never have left overs. Bryan would just laugh at me. Once i realized that it was expensive to feed everyone and not have left overs I quickly stopped that.
So here is my last creation. I wanted to make a roast because i never have before. The meet was about 3.5 lbs and Bryan cut up like 8 potatoes. We had way too much food, but it lasted us 5 days!

Mountain West Conference Weekend

This past weekend the BYU track team went to Laramie Wyoming for the Mountain West conference. I have no idea who decided to pick the middle of nowhere for conference. The BYU track team drove to Wyoming while me and Bryan's parents flew into Denver and drove two hours north. It was a beautiful drive and relaxing weekend.
Bryan ran the 110 meter high hurdles and took fourth overall. He ran the 400 meter hurdles and took FIRST place! He ran a 51.4. I was so proud of him. Right before the race i thought I was going to through up, i was so nervous! I always get scarred he is going to get hurt.
Bryan was so stoked to win! It was his goal all season long. Now it is off to Eugene Oregon for Regionals! Wish him luck.

BAD LUCK

I seriously have bad luck. Everytime I travel my flight gets delayed because of mechanical difficulties. Who wants to go on a plan knowing they are having a malfunction. I don't! This weekend we were in Wyoming, aka the middle of nowhere, for Mountain West conference. Bryan was running the 400 meter hurdles and won by the way!! i will post some pics up later.
After a wonderful weekend, i was ready to come home and get organized. Bryans flight left at 12:10 so we got the the airport at 10:30. My flight did not leave until 12:50. I said bye to Bryan and off i got to sit at my gate until it is my turn to leave. Well 12:55 roles around and we have not boarded yet. I then start to think well did i miss my flight by accident and didnt hear them board. Nope thats not the case. The flight was delayed for mechanical difficulites, so we had to wait. We wait about an hour and they say ok everything is fixed we are ready to go. We all board the plane and about ten minutes later we are unboarding the plane. The mechanic changed his mind and said the plane is not ready and we had to wait about 4 hrs until it was ready. Long story short I waited in the airport from 10:30 to 4:30 to fly home. I landed at 6! The worst part Bryan arrived in SLC at 1:30 and waited for me in the car at the airport until 6!!
I seriously hate traveling!

I Finally Decorated

I stink at decorating. I don't know what i like cause i like everything. I buy stupid things that i end up throwing away. So when my mom was in town we went to HobbyLobby to find some cute things. I will be honest. I pushed the cart while Carrie and my mom went down the isle and found everything. I just had veto power! So here are some picks of my newly decorated home.

Test Day is here!

As we speak Bryan is taking the MCAT. I have been nervous all semester as he's been studying, practicing, and so forth. Bryan has never seemed nervous once! I don't know what it is about him but every test he take he never gets nervous while i am over there pacing back and forth! Anyway, as i wait for him to call me after his test, it feels like the hours have gone by so slow. I slept in so it would feel like the day will go by faster!
Needless to say after the MCAT we are partying!!! We have no idea what to do cause neither of us are partiers but we will think of something! Everyone is invited.... By the way Bryan's idea of partying is going to see the X-Men movie!! Love it huh..

Grocery Shopping on A Budget

So i had this enrichment activity on grocery shopping on a budget. I learned that I do not shop on a budget at all. I spent the most amount on money possible, and not on purpose. I just suck at shopping on a budget. I thought for sure buying in bulk was smart....oh its not if there are only 2 people in your family. I thought planning out my meals and the buying the materials is shopping on a budget. Oh its not! Shopping on a budget means finding the food that is on sale and planning meals around that. And if its on sale buy more then you normally would.
My only problem with shopping on a budget is I buy things that i have no idea how to cook and I buy a little too much. But it has been a fun learning experience and i have saved so much money this month! So try my way for a month and see if you like it.

Ready to Quit!

I am sitting in the library right now, looking around and decided I am so over school. I hate test, quizzes, research papers, waking up early, going to bed late, and boring lectures. But hey everyone keeps telling me college is the best time of your life and the easiest. However, all I know is school has caused more stress in my life then anything else so far. I have stressed induced hypertension! Who knows how stressed I will be with kids! I love learning but I hate the work! Why can't I just go to a lecture listen and learn without all the work! I dream of the days when I don't have to turn an assignment in. I dream of the days when I actually get a good night sleep instead of tossing and turning all night worried about my test the next morning. School work is never ending. I finish one test and then start studying for the next one the very NEXT DAY! I am so done with school.
Now the bad news, I have a lot of schooling left!

On a totally different note i learned great tips on grocery shopping on a budget and making GOOD cheap meals! Tune in soon for that post!
