1st Anniversary

Last Sunday, August 21st, we celebrated our first anniversary! Because Sunday was the Sabbath, I guess I lied we celebrated it a day earlier :) I tried to make a dinner reservation to surprise Austin, but no one in Idaho Falls (where the sit-downs are) makes reservations and they said we probably wouldn't get in due to the weekend crowds that occur in I.F. Lame! So when he came home from work we were stuck.... And we decided to do what we love most. Our favorite Chinese Buffet. It sounds nasty but omgsh this is definitely not your average buffet. (It even made the top 100 Asian restaurants in America 2010!) Fine dining! Why not go to our favorite place?

We then rented movies, and we recommend Soul Surfer to anyone who wants a feel-good movie. We have our favorite gas station (Maverick) where we fill pops for entertainment. Our friends are the cashiers, and our favorite lady was there that night. We always talk and told her it was our anniversary, and she said "Oh my Gosh, and you're not pregnant are you? *wink* *wink*" She was totally surprised in a sarcastic way. If you don't know Rexburg, it is a freakin' feat to not have kids within your first year. Everyone pops the babies. Am I saying it's bad? No. I am saying it's definitely not for me and go Rexburg ladies.....really, kid-rearing is wow. A hard, undervalued job. That I am not mature enough for yet. Neither of us has changed a diaper....

I made Austin a card with lovey stuff in it (you guys'll barf) and a promise for a nice winter peacoat ( I dunno how to spell that one, leave me alone!) We're gonna go shopping here for one really soon! I wanted to get him a lawyer briefcase but that's his graduation present. And peacoats are so hard to just guess which will fit best! We'll get pictures up when we get it! Austin ordered me something, and I wasn't allowed to be on his computer for a while cause he had the order saved. It came in a bit later than our anniversary, and he picked it up today. Oh, my, gosh....he got me beautiful gold earrings from Kay's with one of my favorite stones and diamonds. I am too spoiled. We are going on our second year happily! And so not pregnant, Ms. Maverick lady! ;)

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
