Sunday Eats

Finals are upon us! Wish us luck! 

So a little about life lately... or you can skip to the awesome food at the bottom lol.

Well, we might need that luck especially cause I kicked a stool on accident in the print lab and broke two toes all crazy like. Then proceeded in my 12 hour no-break printing frenzy standing on them dang toes.... and sick.....lol! That's what I get for not wearing my brace.

Good thing we are done with Insanity! That's right, you heard us! Done with Insanity, the 9 week program :D We both are going to take our pictures soon and post them! We are doing hip hop abs for the next two weeks as finals are happening (and it's less intense on my toes) then starting Insanity all over. Yes, we are insane thank you ;)

We actually were kind of freaking out because this fall, we apply to law and nursing school! We finish in April, but will hear most likely in the winter where we will head out to.

 I might wait to apply until Austin chooses a school though, and look for community college that offers RN. (If you are wondering if I am quitting art, I would never do that. I simply and protecting myself with another passion and degree because my dystonia may spread to my right side that I use in art. I want to help people like myself in the medical field. And possibly do art therapy)  I found out that if I get my associate's nursing combined with the BFA I already am getting, it counts as an RN apparently. Anyway if anyone knows about that, you should definitely let me know! 

Austin did really well on his LSAT and some schools say they can offer a full-ride or some scholarships...tempting, tempting! I'm so excited for him no matter what he chooses. He keeps teasing his ER doctor dad though that he's going into malpractice ;) I'm pretty sure we'd be the least favorite childrens in the family. 

Two more weeks and we are also headed out to Wyoming for our first of the break! Hillary (Austin's sister) has a wedding soon. We are so excited for her. I never thought pinterest would be something I cared that much for but planning a bridal shower.... I'll admit it's loaded with great ideas! I maybe thought that was the limit for me with the whole pinterest thing, and then I happened upon rolled up chicken with herbs and cheese. 

I put my own spin on it, used olive oil, thyme and oregano, a lighter cheese, turkey bacon (non-sodium filled kind), and sautéed mushrooms inside. Then a little garlic salt on the outside, and out to the BBQ we grilled! Austin added some wilted lettuce to our dinner (family recipe, I don't think I can share!) It tastes so much like a desert... so tastey! Add some rice and roasted garlic green beans... blam it's a feast!

    1. Yup! It could be occupational therapy or dietetics still. Instead of grad school for art, I thought I would pursue another passion. I might lose my right side to dystonia, so it's another safety net just in case.

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
