Trunky




 I promise we are still alive. In one piece, maybe not but hey. 
Today was nuts, I had another clinical of 6am-2pm and then had work 6pm-9pm woo!

I helped in a dining room, and my CNA told me she was going to leave for a sec and to make sure no one choked.... I got kind of scared about being left alone with a room full of 20 people with prospects of choking. And all I could imagine was my text book with this guy... (bahaha)



Austin cannot wait to get to the University of Wyoming, he keeps telling me he's not going to make it the rest of the semester. Most of his classes are just his Spanish minor, and has been going to practice his Spanish lots at the school because he's in a phonetics class this semester, and your accent counts! I could have used that in French, my accent is horrendous haha! Excuse me, (hoh hoh hoh mais oui!)

The most exciting news as of late:

So you can only imagine how much more enthused we are!

Okay maybe that was too much. He's going crazy waiting.

He's excited, I'm excited --but I have to admit I am going to miss all my art classes. There's nothing like an afternoon hanging out and painting watercolours. I thought this was a fun scene from our watercolour room, because the chalkboard writing and the projected image made a cool overlay. I did this with a giant U.S. Map I'm working on! I did it on our flat screen TV though. 





Because let me tell you, drawing states and the U.S. backwards (because in Intaglio it gets printed and comes out reversed) ..... YOU TRY IT......



Austin was cringing as I traced it on our TV, but for all you art geeks out there it was an 8B pencil ;) Practically grease! Can't wait to show you!

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
