Merry Halloween?

Wyoming has been presenting us with this:
(not at all unusual btw)




Juno was freaking out, it's her first snow experience!

As my friend told me today, " It's like kitty heaven --everything is moving in the sky!!"

I've been getting myself pumped up anyway for this "fall" festivity that is Halloween. Only my favorite. Pumpkin Caaand--daaahyy! Austin is ready to carve pumpkins this coming weekend! Customers at work always comment on my nails through the drive-thru... so I surprised them with some Holiday Spirit. 



Orange coat, green tips, sharpie face and a clear coat sure spreads some holiday scares... ;)

Since I have a long day Tuesdays and Thursdays (Austin just always has long days haha) my friend who also waits around for his class for a few hours ( hey... we ride the bus and can't go home easily) was talking about horseshoes, chess, and darts etc. We got the brilliant idea to play chess in between classes, and it started with a paper board and paper towel cut-out pieces. I don't have a board, but I have legit stone pieces. So tonight I made a board that's a cloth drawstring bag for easy travel :)


Now I have to learn poker really well too, because work has a poker night with some peeps. LOVE strategy games, and so does Austin. He can't wait to get outta midterms so he can play too!

On another note, I was sooo excited to do Insanity not missing a single day. The past two times I just did it through, making up days if I missed one. This time I was so excited to beast through it since I've already lost the weight and wanted to do muscle toning. Nope. I definitely got sick with exhaustion and spilled my beans one morning after work and said screw it for two days. Midterms and working almost full time and dystonia sometimes just mixes the perfect storm! That left me with a poster like this... So chin up and I'm repeating this week through. 


Third time's a charm, and Adidas is lucky. 


This girl's gotta get Insane! xoxo from Wyoming!

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...

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...

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...
