Small Town's Lively

Thanksgiving we kept it lively.

Intense dart matches (Cricket folks, it's all about Cricket!)
And if you know a thing or two bout it look at those darts!




Also, I made this amazing gluten-free pie
Recipe .:Here:.

(If you want to know ... the floor was the only one who 
got a taste of it... I dropped it shortly thereafter this pic.)


I made the pie for my ward to help out, because we were headed 
to Chuck-a-rama with some great friends. You have got to do that
one year. No mess, cheap, and a blast. And a frozen yogurt machine.

Sadly we still had to work (welcome to real life!) But we had
our usual strolls to the Valley Wide to get some pops.




Black Friday presented itself with some great deals online...
we went to see what Walmart was like at 8pm because
Austin and I had never "Black Friday-ed."

Never. Again.

However.... midnight at Target, Santa came 
early to Brennyn! Great deal on some boots I wanted for 
Christmas :) And after a quick Walmart visit, we had everything
for our Christmas festivities!



Since most of our shopping was done online, we check the 
mail every day to fill the space underneath our Christmas tree!
Technically one of Austin's gifts was the first to come, 
and the first little present under the tree :) 

Mail time has never been so fun!

    LOVE the boots. Sara, Lauren and I had a conversation on Thanksgiving wondering why we don't all wear boots ALL the TIME in the winter!? Seriously. They're the best. Also, I did Black Friday once or twice when my kids were wee ones. That was enough. Insanity. For nothing.

    Sounds like you had a great day though. Fun times in Idaho. Yeah. And online-shopping-packages-in-the-mail is awesome. Happy Holidays, Brauston Nation.

    P.S. Sorry about the pie.

      Thanks Melody! Haha! Yeah I'm deciding packages are almost tooo much fun to receive in the mail :D Makes me think I should send some more traditional letters to people... Yeah walmart was just DVDs! And off-brand plasmas! I didn't get it!

      Thanks! Kohls actually had great deals... $100 boots for $29! I got mine at Target though. I'm learning the value of cowgirl boots and boots and... more boots! Why don't we!

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
