The Catch Up

Let me tell you! Things have been nuts!

I am absolutely loving EMT. Love, love it. Although, I have not had a serious situation yet, and who knows (I could pass out when I see blood and guts yet haha).

This was my first day of clinicals:



Austin has gotten into the groove of law school, and feels much more secure in his second semester. I cannot believe he's almost done with his first year. He'll be a 2L this August! We got to attend Law Ball too. We didn't really get photos because we were having too much of a blast and forgot. It was a masquerade theme, and a fun dance... and a whole lot of law jokes I didn't get lol. But Austin did, and all his friends and him enjoyed themselves. I love seeing him happy! After Law Ball, everyone goes out to the bars. I love going to bars to get a shirley temple and hang with my friends, but we were an old fart married couple and had a movie and gorge-fest date. 










A good friend of mine unfortunately was going through some rough stuff, and so I spent a day making boat-loads of food for she and her family. It makes me sad when people are down, so yes I will make you food because I don't know what else to do!



Juno's still our little bestie, even if we torture her with robo-dog. But I mean, it was well deserved since she keeps torturing our Jackalope.



From our last post, you probably gathered a temple trip was in the making for Kristine. We headed to Billings, Montana where she got her endowments. It was kind of neat because not only did we get to take her through, we got to do two sessions in our time there. Lets just say, more time for answers to prayers.




When I came home, I had work at 4am. It was surprisingly awesome despite being so early haha! And when I got home, I got my nursing acceptance! In the temple I read a scripture that said something about waiting, and awesome things happen if you wait. I took that to mean I was going to wait some more, but I think it meant to say that the good things were coming! I've waited since the end of BYU-I for this! Austin took a video and I had no idea he was... the video is embarrassing because I was crying lol. Here's some screen shots and the letter :D




Lots of good things to catch up on!

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...

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...

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...
