My Goodness!



It's been a while! Life has just been moving too fast! 

Let me catch you up, and maybe I will be better at keeping this journal of sorts. Austin and I are still loving Wyoming so much. Austin is in his second year of law school, and I am second semester nursing. We feel so blessed to be in a beautiful place, and to be blessed with outstanding education. I know we are in the right place! I've met so many people who I love, and have taught me so much. 



Winter has been fun for us --we spent lots of time with family over the Holidays, and each took a much needed work-free break. This is the first (and last) time we will have that time because again, life is progressing so fast! And holy cow, look at that snow... we have some exciting travel stories including blizzards, fun hotel stops, and seeing a bald eagle plus two golden eagles same day! 



Juno is doing well and being spoiled by the grandparents. We got lots of time up in Casper this winter, and we're not too sure she will want to come home!

Winter at UW means lots of basketball. We've been caught up in this exciting season, going to every home game we can. When there isn't a home game, the TV becomes the court and we watch intently. It may or may not get some verbal abuse because a ref called something stupid.... haha!



School has been nothing like I imagined, and everything that I could hope for. Both of us have really found our callings and we probably could talk your ear off all day with how excited we are to be learning so much. Austin is heavy into water law, and also was able to try out family and public health law. It's full speed ahead in my program, and I will be an LPN come May! I have also been heavily involved with our school's student health clinic. I love it. 




While we don't get much time together because of school (and being spoiled with so much time together this break!) something that brings us back at the end of the night is UW basketball! Last night I came home from the clinic, and Austin was at the bar watching the game with some wings. I was able to catch the last bit with him, and he even ordered me a diet haha! The wings were gone but ya know. I was looking around (Austin, and friends and I frequent local places such as this) and just felt so grateful I can call this place my home. 



Life's so good ya'll.

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...

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...

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...
