Utah Salutation

Austin and I got to say hello to Utah!
We were scared we wouldn't be able to because of all the cost of moving and no longer having jobs... but we had $100 and we were able to do it!

All of my family is there, and Cheyenne area is 8 hours away. Right now we are only 4 hours away... big difference!

We stopped in Ogden to try and find an Argentinian bakery (But it went out of business just a week before, sad day!) I never have seen Ogden's downtown, who knew it was so pretty?





We stopped at IKEA because we have to get a few things for our new place we will live. We sold off a lot of furniture because of moving costs, and this time around we decided we wanted to put what we could towards a nicer home environment. I mean... we are talking $12.00 floating shelves haha! We do what we can!

Of course after a long road trip we were hungry... I lucked out because their ribs and veggie medallion are GF, and Austin got the infamous Swedish meatballs. I love lingonberry, and always get the juice!




After IKEA-ing we stayed with my cousin Rachel in her beautiful new home. She's a costume designer, and her husband designs. So naturally they have the coolest house ideas! Austin was basking the glory ;)




Swimming, barbecues, Sunday family dinner, oh it was awesome. And I got to see my other cousins too! Guys, I have three cousins, one aunt, one uncle. Amazing for a Mormon right? Austin has so many he can't count. Needless to say, we are all so close.

Sadly, the time came to head back to Idaho. (Where it snowed on us on the drive up haha! It was 65°F in Utah. Amazing what 4 hours can do!)





When we got home, I finished one of my skirts and went printmaking! 
POCKETS!! I love skirts/dresses with pockets!!
 
 
 
I still don't believe we're leaving!

Next week! 

And we also have a place we will be showing you soon in Laramie, WY.  ;) We found it while in Utah!

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
