That's so Hipster!

Zut Alors!

We are officially hipsters! Austin has made it into Last Poet Standing at our school, and completed his second round last night! It was the first recitation of their own written poems and while there were a few fun and well-written poems... most were awkwardly painful and contained dead grandpas, wilting flowers, sweat and silent tears, and strange incomprehensible mumbling into the microphone.

30 were chosen, 20 are left! Among them was Austin! I am such a proud wifey. For reals though, I cannot do what he does, and he is finally sharing his talent. His was the only one that was not rhyming-sing-songy, and not free verse. In fact, it was a villanelle for all you smarties!

Outside of school, we are learning to be savers and self-sufficient for good old LDS food storage and prepardness skills! (We are still having a juice every day, and we will attest to how awesome it makes us feel getting all those nutrients in!) Austin got us signed up for Sam's Club with the collegiate annual fee ($25 dollars folks!). He basically described the strawberries down there as voluptuous and for the same price hahahaha! I am looking forward to this. Except not so much the diction.

The most awesome part is we are going to start a tupperware garden. I read tons of books about small-box gardening outside, and container veggie growing... and figured why not one of those giant tupperwares with the same dimension and sunlight and water and everything? If these veggies can grow in pots indoors why not a few in a giant tupperware? We even had a few little other things to grow.

We hope to be getting in a few weeks:

Tomatoes
Spinach
Habeneros,
Garden Beans,
Carrotts,
Oregano,
Basil,
Parsley,
Christmas Tree (haha I know, but truly!)
Daisies
More Tomatoes
Petunias!

Tune in for our adventures as we see if this suc-seeds HAHA!

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
