Birthday Boots





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 it's the happiest we've ever been. How can that be hard to be so happy? I could bore you all with work and school, because that's most of our life rightnow. But I can tell you we celebrated my 21st birthday, and Austin got me my first pair of cowgirl boots! I told him about how my family decorates thetables with candy for birthdays, and sometimes we get lots of candy for our birthday, so he got a bagful of candy!! It survived a Utah trip, several study sessions...In fact, it was so much we still can fill our bowl set! We actually went to Utah because I really wanted to see my cousins. We headed down to Utah, and guess who walks out of my Aunt's house? My mom!! I was so shocked! Austin and I were elated because I'm sorry, but my mom is the coolest thing to happen to this earth haha! Rachel was really sweet and threw a BBQ party for Father's Day and my birthday. Austin, my mom, and I went to the mall where I spent some birthday money. My mom found a shirt that Lance will appreciate (guess! guess! a bike on it! haha!) Sherri (my aunt) joined us for a lunch at a downtown provo deli. Adeline (my cousin's baby girl) was a trooper and came as well even though she wasn't feeling so well. Earlier, we hit a farmer's market where we all got bracelets with hand-carved skull beads. It was just too much fun. Best Birthday ever, Best Husband ever, Best Mom ever, Best Cousins ever, Best Aunt..... C'est la vie!

To Be Honest.

I've been thinking a lot, and a lot has been going on.  Lorde radio on Pandora is a good way to zone out. So is sewing, and doing all those other mindless activities I love, and that keep me happy. I haven't written on this blog because to be honest, it's been difficult lately. To get the sob story quick and out of the way, I've been in a self-pity mode, and super down on myself. I had a very difficult time at BYU because of a crappy life occurrence that made the decision to leave the best decision of my life. It was hard to get my BFA between the BYU's when I transferred, and I couldn't work on a second diploma I was seeking. I ended up with the most amazing BFA situation though, and that has been a blessing. (And the most awesome thing happened too, obviously. --marriage! I would never ever change that!) The last year into my BFA I found out definitive stuff about my dystonia, including no children. And the nursing program chase has not be...

Grateful.

Austin has been the best support. I definitely married out of my league.  He's been very proactive in finding lots of healthy things for my recommended diet (by the neurological disorder peeps, and an intolerance.) because my hemidystonia has had less spasms and cramps. As of lately, brown rice bread!  Seriously, it's great even if you don't need wheat-free. It's a nice change of pace! It's sweet and light. .:Recipe Here:. We grind our own brown rice to save money. Winco here in Idaho has  the best deal for bulk brown rice :)  Here's a crazy picture of my hand, this was actually the first spasm/cramp I've had in a bit. (Haha, least my nails are painted ;) ) This is actually why (for those of you who've asked) Intaglio will not be my last degree. I was informed that I've got a good chance of this happening to my right side too.  Art might get interesting! But I plan to keep doing it as a career too, no matter what! ...

Moonrise Bunnies

Thank you for the chocolate bunnies Carmen Family!! we may or may have not remembered it was easter? Such a Surprise! In sad news, our favorite video store is going out of business. We loved getting recommendations from the people who worked there. Austin and I had no idea our favorite date spot was going out and went to go get a movie.... and we ended up with this sweet stack!! (They sold them waaay discounted. We got all of these for the price of two new DVDs!)  It was funny because when we walked in and realized what was going on, we freaked out because we wanted our favorite movies! Everything Illuminated and Moonrise Kingdom (among others but these were the first ones that came to mind) And Everything Illuminated was gone! Austin freaked because he couldn't remember what Moonrise Kingdom was called. He said... EDWARD NORTON. WHICH ONE WAS THAT?? Of course I look at him like wtf are you talking about the Hulk or the Painted Veil or something? Fig...
