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!

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
