The Beginning of the Last

The both of us have started our last semester at BYU-Idaho!
Class of 2013!

The both of us spent time collecting recipes we could make throughout this semester that will help us eat through our food storage. Lately I have been obsessed with making Honey Clouds:
 
 

Austin has a semester mostly full of his Spanish Minor requirements, it's quite extensive here at BYU-Idaho because of all the returned missionaries. I've got a frenzy happening right before my show. 



Goorin Bros Inc. is Austin's favourite hat shop since my dad introduced him to it, and it was his Christmas gift. He was sweet and ordered me a hat too with his gift card. (He got them all on an extreme winter sale.) So we're busting out of here in style ;)



To kick it all off and enjoy our time together, we spent two days pasta making and invited our friends over to celebrate. Austin decided to make the ravioli with Chicken Marsala. I made some mini apple tarts for dessert because one of my friends brought me fresh apples, picked off the tree in Oregon. Look for the sauce recipe and pasta recipe under our tab! The tart was using the gluten free pie crust, and apples mixed with butter, dash of lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It was such a process, but so much fun for the both of us. And our friends had traveled to Italy and could greatly appreciate it. I drooled over all the works of art they told me about... and of course the lovely meal we all shared :) The night turned crazy fun as we played knives and shared a bunch of old family tricks.... here's to great friends and a great time!

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

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 scho...
