Thoughts over an Apple Beer

I have to leave my favorite job with some marks!

I've gotten tons of my maps printed :D

Austin finished a big paper last night, and to say the least we are tired. He got a pop to keep him up, and I got an Apple Beer 5 kcal! It's the best carbonated apple drink ever, and it's made in our neighboring state in SLC!

Quick meals have been important! One thing I found on Pinterest has helped a lot. Austin made them one day, and they have forever changed our lives! (A little dramatic but so is the color.) Spinach cubes for our smoothies! Blend spinach leaves in a blender with a little bit of water to get it going, and freeze them in an ice tray. Pop them in your smoothie and you've got some veggies going in your diet :D

When sitting here today after CNA class, finishing my Apple Beer, I was staring at this frame I keep on our bookshelf. I don't know why exactly I framed it, but it's been my favorite picture of my Brother and I. It's funny, too, because I found this little jar of sugar and our names thrown in there. When I was younger, I was superstitious and heard of a relationship charm. You put your name and the person you wish to have a better relationship with's name in a jar with sugar and place it next to their photo. It's funny cause looking back, (it worked!) when we both grew up we cat-fought all the time. But now that we've grown up, we've become closer. And I couldn't love my brother more.

As we move farther away from California, and as exciting as it is to go somewhere new, it is kind of sad because my memories and life were there with my family! But at the same time we're all old farts --I am an Aunt! And boy does he remind me of my brother haha! We're moving on, making families happen, and happy. Things such as that frame and funny jar remind me of what's gotten me here, and things that are most important in my life.

And no there was no alcohol in that drink. Impressive right?

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
