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!

When Family Visits

This past weekend, we got to spend time with my lovely parents! Lance (my step-dad) and my mom came out to Rexburg to party po-dunk style with us haha! First we took them to R-Mountain which is actually a crater volcano :) Maybe you recognize it from the 4th of July adventures of Braustin? We had finals (so Austin and I look like train wrecks only getting 6 hours of sleep in the last three days...  haha!) Lance and mom were doing wonderful though, and were more energetic than us for sure!  Then we made some taffy, but what we didn't know was our candy thermometer we bought was broken in the first place. So it never rose past 150ºF despite it looking like it burned. Yeah. It ended up looking like an organ. And it also ate our black plastic spoon because it rose so high in temperature. It was molten lava! Belonged on R-Mountain that's for sure! We had Austin run back to the grocery store who sold us the defective thermometer, and ...

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...
