Making a New Home

We almost have all of our stuff together. I didn't take room shots because there's little things everywhere we've been too tired to put away. On our dining table.... applications, applications, applications! Here's some fun details though --We thrifted things like the chair for $6. Our house is getting a nice make-over on the outside like the others (it's been too cold for the paint to dry). We live with other college student couples who occupy the homes next to us, and the railroad tracks and overpass. It seriously looks like the Princess and the Frog homes haha! (No, it's not loud thank goodness.) If you know me, this is sooo much art inspiration. I am also going to put up my BFA work in our home via Austin's request (Isn't he sweet?) I cannot wait to take photos from Laramie. We live one block from the downtown, in a 1920's home. Laramie tries hard to preserve and reuse historical buildings, so bookstores and such are second story victorian shops and apartments! There's a co-op grocery store one block away, the best mexican food you could ever imagine, a second hand bookstore, chocolate shop.... it goes on. Can't wait to show you!














It's funny because those other houses have other college couples, and I see them carrying their bike up this walkway daily. Everybody rides their bike here even if it's bone crunching cold! I can't wait to take mine up there, and neither can Austin. His University is just 3 blocks away! I have to take a bus, but the bus stop is right there. It's such a college town, I love it. Even if you go out at 1am, things are open and alive! So many adventures ahead!

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late....  I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.) But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here! I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints.  I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes!  I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse.    So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit.  He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...
