Clothings.

I made my maxi dress in an hour and a half -- it was that easy! If you don't know what I'm talking about,  .:here:. is the post I mentioned wanting to do the project.

I will have to get a picture of it on when it's cooler! (Waaay too hot right now.... which might mean a t-shirt sleeve one on the way!) 

It fits soooo well I was shocked! Especially for just tracing your t-shirt.



Up in Cheyenne I used my birthday money for some new clothes :) It was a nice get-away from my usual "work" clothes then to "slum" clothes when I get home from work. Amazing what a tunic, leggings, laced boots, and a top bun will do!


Austin was so sweet, and got me some Hi-Chews at Walmart last night. I love them and introduced them to Austin... we got a pack together, and the next day the bag disappeared because he loved them so much. So he got me another pack haha!


Annnd... those disappeared pretty fast too. (by me this time ;) )

I had the day off, and Austin worked from 5am-10am so we get most of the day together!
Tonight it's stuffed burgers (remember Austin's christmas gifts?) I picked swiss and mushrooms, Austin picked habenero cheese. 

S0 excited. 

We ran errands today to have a fun night, and in the meantime visited the downtown to grab our fav, crême brulée to split. I love downtown. Laramie is awesome because they keep everything historical, and promote small shops and restaurants. It's kind of big city living in a small town! Perfect for the both of us, because we both like both. (wow that was a mouthfull.)

Good eats and New clothes from Wyoming! Xoxo

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...

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...

Second Time Around

We got a White Christmas!  It continued to snow and the boys had enough to play in after these photos were taken. They were able to build a snow man with Austin, too! Austin was able to take a full week and a half off, so our holiday time was amazing.  ^This last photo was actually Christmas Eve as my side of the family celebrates the traditional German way. Austin and I have managed to compromise so that Christmas Eve is a big celebration, nativity-reading, music listening-- and we open non-Santa gifts. Now, in the morning, Santa comes with stockings and their gift. Stockings were pretty amazing when I was a kid! It was a big deal too! Austin's family had very specific things in their stockings that were traditional with Santa like a huge orange, apple, a bag of nuts, etc. that we keep alive, too.  We successfully mixed our holiday foods as well. The Carmen family does scones, breakfast casserole, and other fun holiday dishes, and my family did a soup every Christmas Eve...
