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!

When Family Visits

This past weekend, we got to spend time with my lovely parents! Lance (my step-dad) and my mom came out to Rexburg to party po-dunk style with us haha! First we took them to R-Mountain which is actually a crater volcano :) Maybe you recognize it from the 4th of July adventures of Braustin? We had finals (so Austin and I look like train wrecks only getting 6 hours of sleep in the last three days...  haha!) Lance and mom were doing wonderful though, and were more energetic than us for sure!  Then we made some taffy, but what we didn't know was our candy thermometer we bought was broken in the first place. So it never rose past 150ºF despite it looking like it burned. Yeah. It ended up looking like an organ. And it also ate our black plastic spoon because it rose so high in temperature. It was molten lava! Belonged on R-Mountain that's for sure! We had Austin run back to the grocery store who sold us the defective thermometer, and ...

Joyeux Noël

My Mom and Lance came out! Austin and I took it as an opportunity to cook the heck out of our kitchen for them! We got a white Christmas which was amazing. For two reasons: Mom and Lance are from California and so it was magical for them, and it could be our last white Christmas for a while! (A lot of schools are in the South.)  My mom's side of the family is very German so we celebrate Christmas Eve. We used to have minestrone soup, but everyone hated it. So... we turned to our California roots and make tortilla soup instead. As a kid, it always made sense that Christmas happened at night. All the pictures you saw of baby Jesus were at night with the star. My mom said when she was little, she just thought German kids were special haha! I made my mom and Lance some hardcase books, a snowglobe, and got them a ceramic ornament. Santa also surprised them in the morning with a stocking ;) My grandma Hofmann used to make these egg ornaments (she passed away in 19...

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...
