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.

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
