This Place is Growing on Us

Juno is too much fun. She's the center of attention <3


Austin and I wanted a Boston Terrier super bad, but the dogs cost $600, the city fee (holy crap right?) is $200, the apartment deposit is $250, the spay/neuter process was between $150-$300, and the shots ranged from $20-$50 each.......

Maybe when I have a nurse salary haha. Still want Quiggly! 

Juno was the best decision ever, I've always wanted a cat. Austin has never had a cat and was a bit hesitant. That's why the dog was the first thing --because we both like dogs! But guess who Juno's favourite is now? And guess who has to give me the play by play of what Juno and he did all day when I get home from work?





Our garden is growing! Some things died off so we know what not to plant.....
We're definitely learning about Wyoming pests haha! But I am actually surprised at what's hanging in there! Our plants are not limited to these pics --we also found a greenhouse and got some squash and new blueberry bushes (because ours died because the soil was not acidic enough... we got soil acidifier and they doing great!)






I think we're going to be pretty happy here. We got a little friend, our house lets us have more of a home with a garden among other things, and our jobs are going great. 

<3 from Wyoming!

    Thank you Mel, it's crazy because she was in the shelter for over a month and no one wanted her! Glad we got her!

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
