Sticks make good Friends.

Both of us had the day off, and I wanted to go to Cheyenne on my "birthday."

So, we left our kitty home alone, and kinda felt guilty about it as she followed us and watched us leave.

Cheyenne is Austin's hometown, and he showed me his old high school, stomping grounds, and house. (Does anyone want to explain to me why anyone needs that many terra-cotta pots? lol!)

The city has been growing like crazy. Austin kept sounding like an old man "Oh, that used to be this. Oh this is new. That got turned into... Oh that place has been torn down since." Haha. It's really fun to place someone with their childhood!

Needless to say there is a ton to do since all these businesses are coming in, and we shopped like nuts (you know, college kid style with the birthday money ;) ) I even got fabric on sale at JoAnn's to do this pinterest project I've been saving forever. It's from a blog I follow called "Cotton and Curls."

You want to know how awesome-ly simple it is? You trace your favorite T-shirt and bring it down with an ever so slight angle. Thats it. Sew the two pieces together and hem. COMFY. I love mine from Target but yeah right I want to keep paying $30 if I can make it for half that!

I'd rather spend my money on a dinner-date with the hubbs. Texas Roadhouse and ribs, baby!

Have you discovered I have an obsession with ribs? I'd never had them before I met Austin's family. We had them at Cheyenne Frontier days, and I initially tried to eat them with a fork and knife. It's only appropriate we honour Cheyenne with another rib fest.

And Peanuts. Obviously.

Spending the whole day in Cheyenne, we got to come home in a glorious Wyoming sunset.

And if you're wondering about Juno, she made a friend while we were gone. The Stick. It's her favourite toy and we cannot separate her from it. I guess she had a good day too?

Meow from Wyoming, xoxo

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
