Braustin Nation

It's been a beautiful summer (since it finally came!) We leave the window open all day, and the wind comes in...just perfect! It's weird to think that next year this time, I'll be graduated! Austin has one more semester than me, but he's taking one off for the good old LSATs. I am glad I don't have to take that, but then again I hae to scrounge for work as an artist and people will be asking him to work for them! But for right now, we've made a home here in Rexburg, and everything is going well. Besides school, Austin is calling away at the Rexburg Opinion Center, and I'm sitting still as a statue so people can draw their figures. Soon though, I might be working in a print lab or the gallery! I neverthought the first year of marriage would be so smooth going,because everyone says it's hard. Yes, I'll admit it has had it's up and downs (really.)--butoverall i t's the happiest we've ever been. How can that be hard to be so happy? I could b

We're excited for our camping trip this weekend, and have been taking care of a few errands so we can go. One of them included getting our tax forms into the financial aid office by the end of this week. In doing so, we walked out with a student loan repayment brochure, and ran into a colonial man. Stunned, but not wanting to look like rubber-necks, we both ducked together behind the brochure to see what good old ben franklin was up to. I was honestly waiting for something exciting to happen, maybe even a wave from our favorite history hero. Nope. He looks at us like "wtf are you looking at!!" and lo and behold......goes to get his paycheck from the cashier office. I really don't want to know what admin. orders when they are bored. And for those of you who didn't hear our Moral Police Raid last night, oh yes. A freaking Lincoln parked in the potato patch. It doesn't move. So what do we do? Well what anyone else would do - make them nervous and get out of the c

Rexburg, being only 5 miles squared, makes it hard to hide. Especially when it is a morally dictated area. This presents a rebellious opportunity for the 15,000 students attending... so yes. A few will stray from the good old Honor Code. Curfew at 12 o' clock midnight? Haha! Found you behind the church making out with your boyfriend and smoking a joint. Wait what? Oh yes. And we love the fact that we are just assuming this and you act all suspicious and drive off in a craze. So what do we do? We follow you! Call us creepy or the obnoxious moral police, but it's hilarious watching you blow through stop signs because you think it's President Clarke, or possibly your mom! Maybe your full name will appear in the headlines of "The Scroll" the next day. Worry yourself to sleep, while Austin and I pee our pants laughing because we're just a dumb married couple who (yeah okay we admit it) probably made out in the car at BYU too.
