Update that blog

Hey everyone I know it has been a good while since I wrote a blog post, sorry about that but I am not able to write it as much as I want to, in order to keep you on the up and ups of our life.

Dan is almost done with this semester of school and then he will only have one school semester left to go before he graduates and we will be off to grad school. Which are both exciting and scary at the same time. He is so ready for a new school and new area he just can't wait to be done and neither can I. Dan has been doing the comedy workshop still but is not in charge of it this semester which is okay it gives him time to work on other things in school like his big test next week which is the GRE he is nervous but he did fine on the first practice attempt so I know he will do just fine if not better because as I know and most of you that he is a smart and dedicated guy when it comes to school and studies. Dan has been working a lot and doing his studies a lot too which always seems to pay off in the end. He set up our babies pack and play the other week which was something fun to watch and help him do. We got a pack and play because we will not be here long enough to have a crib and then move a crib so we decided to just get a pack and play for now.

I have been trying to do well this semester as well but it is difficult to say because I have little to no homework all the time and can never tell where I am at in the class or where my grade is even at in the class so it always makes me nervous. I went to my advisor the other day to ask how much longer I have left until I get my associates, to my surprise she only said two more semesters! That definitely made me feel really good inside as I thought that I was no where close to getting it done and that I would be working on it for forever! So it was nice to hear I am close to something rather than nothing at all. I am doing well being prego only issue I have is heartburn all the time but I try to deal with it and of course feeling fat all the time is a problem I am sure all prego's deal with. I am always looking at other prego's and comparing how big they are to me or how much bigger I am to them. Prego problems are real people let me state that for you out the door. I forget things all the time, half the time I ask Dan where is my phone and I go looking for it all over the house to sit back down where I was 5 min. ago when I started looking only to find it sitting right next to me. It is always funny but always makes me feel really dumb each time but I do get a kick out of it. I am about 28 weeks prego on tuesday, I can't believe that I am that far along and I can't believe at the same time that it is taking forever and feels so far away. Back to school stuff in my american government class we have to do a group project with changing something in the government weather it is local or state wide. My group is trying to ban smoking in cars with children in the state of Idaho and it got picked up by the news! It was really exciting for my group and group mates.


Lexy is doing well and she is always snuggling with me or Dan always. She always wants to sniff the stuff we buy for the baby which I do not mind letting her so she can get used to this is the baby's and not yours. We think she will be just fine when the baby comes due to the fact that she has been around other babies a good amount. Her only issue would be her tail she has no idea how much power that thing has and or where it is swinging.

The baby brings lots of new changes coming our way

Well it has been a long time coming since I have written any sort of update on my blog. So I thought it was time to update the ole blog.

Starting off we went home to NC for christmas break where we were finally able to tell our families that we were expecting our first child. At the time I was about 15 weeks prego and we were so tired of holding it in and keeping it a secret. We told both families in their own special way. We told my family (Jesse's Family) by giving them a christmas tree ornament and putting the names Jesse,Dan,Lexy and June 2014 stating that we were expecting in June of this year. It took my family a little bit to get that, that is what it meant but they got it and were super excited. Dan's family we did something different. We thought it would be nice to get them a new family photo done since they had not done one since Dan was little. So during the photo session we had the photographer say "Jesse is prego!" they did not get it right away but eventually did. I am glad that we had done it different for each family even if it didn't go as planned. About a week ago we went to the doctor to find out what the sex of the baby was. Dan and I were hoping for a boy and when we went to the doctor we found out that the baby was indeed a boy! We are so excited to bring a little boy into this world in June. School this semester has not been that great because some of my teachers are really boring. I am taking African history, American Government, History of art and photography, and Ethics which are okay but two out of the four class the teachers just seem to go on and on about nothing. Last semester I finished off strong with 3-B's and one C which for some people that would be crappy but for someone like me it was an amazing accomplishment.

Dan has been working hard and doing a lot of work in school, work and campus clubs. This year he is so close to finishing school he only has the semester he is in now and one more after that left. He has been working hard and doing well at working hard that it is paying off. Dan is pretty excited for this baby even if he doesn't want to admit it. When we went home to NC he got to see his family which he was pretty happy about and not just that but he also got to see his niece Lyli and his brothers dogs which he loves to death maybe a little bit more then Lexy but who can blame him when you love a dog first there is nothing you can really do. Dan has been working out a lot lately and looking healthier and healthier then ever before each time.

It has been snowing a lot here in Idaho lately it started last year around late October here and there and is still snowing now. I like the snow but this is just to much snow for me to handle. Lexy has come to love the fresh snow each time we get it but hates when it gets hard and crunchy because more then half the time when she walks onto it when it is like that she will find a soft spot and fall straight through. It is funny when that happens. Lexy is doing well and I can't wait to see what she will be like with our little guy because I know she will do well. She has been around many of our friends kids and been just fine which makes me feel good. She just needs to work on her tail wagging in the childs face, but I know she will be fine. Dan and I went to Jackson,WY last month and decided to take Lexy with us because we had read and heard that it is a pretty dog friendly place.Which it was! She was let into every single store that we went into. We wore her out a lot because by the end of the day she was crying and crying because her little legs could not go anymore. She is well loved because I picked her up and carried her for one more store and people would laugh because they at first would think it was a baby with a hoodie but it was actually just Lexy.

I feel like there is a ton to say but nothing is coming to mind.

Thats all for now

A little bit of fun

Hey readers out there its time for that update! I know I have not been keeping you up to date but I have been super busy.

Lets get started. Mrs.B here and has it been a rough week for me! I have been sick for a while now but luckily I fought the bullet and went to the doctor who gave me some great meds which are making me feel better slowly but surly each day. School has been kicking my butt and I am already ready for the semester to end now! Not only for it to end and no more anxiety from school for me but also vacation to where ever we wonder to. My mission had a mini mission reunion and I was able to go! Which was so nice it was fun to see my mission president and his wife. Dan finally got to meet the man who scared him half to death by calling him the first day I was in the mission field which typically does not happen. This coming week my brother is getting married to his pretty lady! Im excited for them but I wish I could be there but I will be there next year for another celebration they will be having with their marriage.

We took a trip down to Utah and Salt Lake city to visit Dans parents who were in town for about a week but we were able to spend the weekend with them. It was fun we went to the mall which is so much better then the mall here in town to us in Idaho. We had firehouse subs which we do not have here in Idaho either. I love firehouse subs! It is a great sandwich place that I would go to a lot in NC with my mom. We found Dan some new shoes as well as his mom was able to look at some fun children stores with her for out nice Lyli.

Mr.B is doing well as always a great man he is. He and I are playing on some teams again. He is playing football and basketball with the wards team. While we are playing soccer and softball with our ward team. Mr.B has been taking care of me while I was sick. He as well is stuck with a lot of school work as well as actual work at his job. Homework sometimes takes so much of his life he feels bad but we both know it will all be worth it in the end. Mr.B has found out that instead of graduating in June of 2014 he will be graduation in December of next year. It will be a long hall but in the end again its all worth it for him to finish school the right way.


Lexy is Lexy as always she is funny and so playful lately and super funny. I love this dog and even though Mr.B does not admit it but he loves that dog. When I am sick she is always close by and never leaves my side. The other day we went to go watch Mr.B play football and I brought her with me. Another wife watching their husband looked at Lexy and asked for her name which I told her. She said that she was so well trained and I said thank you. I told her I have had her sense she was a puppy and trained her myself. She was impressed which is always nice to hear how well trained my dog is. (I made a new frame craft with a friend for lexy)

Well I know that this is really not an update but it is what I can do for now.

Thats it for now!

Mrs.B out!!!

New Semster

Welcome back to the blog!



So Mrs.B here and this week and the past weeks have been a little eventful compared to the other weeks in the past couple months minus some things here and there. I am in week three and school and it is still a struggle and remains a struggle but I hope with help through some of the schools directors it will get better and I will be able to do better as the semester goes along. I have had a test and a couple of quizzes so far that did not go as I had hoped but we live and we learn how to do better or change something we are doing in hopes that it changes for the better for the next time. I am taking Astronomy, Us history and culture, a communications class on speech and English. They are a hand fill in their own way and each class thinks they are my only class. I go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays while working all the other days when I can. Sometimes doing both can be to much and really overwhelming that I cant take it. Luckily I have Mr.B to help me distress and relax sometimes. We sure had a scare this past week,while I like not to share things that are not to personal I think that I need to give my readers some personal info to keep you guys from coming back. So story time begins. This past week while taking a shower (long story short) I was feeling light headed and all of a sudden blacked out and passed out. One good thing was Mr.B was close by that he caught me and held me while trying to get me back to where ever I went. I woke up didn't know what happened or why it happened but it did. That was just about it. The next day Mr.B went to work and I only did a half day at school because I still didn't feel 100% better yet so he later came home with some treats for me and a sweet but funny card. Inside the card he writes sorry they didn't have any sorry you passed out in the shower cards. It was sweet and made me laugh.


Mr.B and I hosted his friend for about 2 weeks at our apartment while he looked for jobs and got ready for school to start. We enjoyed having him here and we had some fun times with him. Mr.B and him I think got a long to well sometimes that they would just laugh so much that Taylor would tell him to go away because his stomach hurt to much from laughing. Mr.B started school today and he said it was fun! Who ever said class was fun??? He must be sick or something because I don't remember the last time I said school was fun. I woke up this morning to find that Mr.B once again had to shave his beard. I love his beard almost as much as I love him hahahaha. When Mr.B has his beard for a while I love it and then when he shaves it off for school it is the worst thing ever because I love it more then his clean cut face (which is nice to but beards are better). We took Taylor to the Eastern Idaho state fair with us which is located in Blackfoot,Idaho. We had heard well I had heard it was one of the better fairs out here in Idaho. Mr.B,Taylor and I all agreed that it is nothing like the North Carolina fair back home and that we missed that fair so much. In fact the NC state fair starts next month and we all wish we had to money just to fly home for the fair. I'm not saying we didn't like the fair because there was some cool stuff there but we had all been spoiled for so long that we expected a lot more from the fair.


Lexy,is doing some what better being social! When we went home to North Carolina a couple weeks back we had 2 different people watch her. Almost every time she see's either couple she will run up to them and say hello. For those who know Lexy know that,that is a big deal. We try to socialize her like if she was a human but she is soooooo shy we don't know what to do but try and force it. While Taylor was her Lexy just loved to be around him because he was with her 24/7 so now she loves him to death and sometimes would chose him over me! I guess that is a good thing in it's self.


Well that's all for now!

A weekend home wasn't long enough

Hey all you blogger fans out there! I know you have been wondering why I have not written in a while. Come now you have gotta let it go a little. We have been pretty busy these past couple of weeks and I wanna make sure this post is a good one and not boring.

Mrs.B here I usually start with Mr.B or myself but I thought I would be first this time. So this past month I have been working a lot which is good. Almost everyday in fact and it was tiring I was getting so tired of working everyday that I started to get worn out and dislike my job. The one good thing is that I finally got a break. We went home to NC for a baby blessing for my brother-in-law and his wife's first baby. We were only able to go home for the weekend because I was starting school soon and we both had to work the following week so we couldn't stay for very long. The time frame we decided to go was perfect because we were there for my moms birthday!!! It was super fun. We got to meet Lyli our new niece and hang out with both families as much as we could. I took some photos of Lyli for Jon and Meghan while we were in town but I was kinda nervous because I have really only taken photos in a studio more then outside a studio. While we were down in NC I finally was able to get a real hair cut sense living out here and let me tell you it was worth the wait. My moms birthday was pretty fun we went to a car show in Raleigh which had a good amount of cars in it. I spent time with my sister one on one with Dan the first night we came in. Her kid named Skyler our other niece is only 2 years old but when I saw her for the first time sense the cruise she was HUGE!!!! When I say huge I dont mean fat or chunky I mean big like she is as big as a 4 year old. Where does she get that height?!???? We didn't want to tell many people we were in town because we really did not have time to see anyone even though we really wanted to. We got to see and old friend of ours who helped us get together in the first place Zach and it was good to see him. What a crack up. His new girlfriend was super nice and seemed really good for Zach so that was a plus. I hoping to do what most LDS women do lately hahahh is to maybe try out my photography skills outside the studio. We will see how it goes and if it takes off. This week I start school and boy am I nervous I struggle in school and I try super hard but sometimes I do not come out n top. I hope that it goes well....



Mr.B doesn't start school until next month so he can work while I start school and help me if I need it. While in NC he got to see the monkey's! That is code word for Jon's huge dogs. He loves those dogs and he hasn't seen them sense we moved to Idaho. He got out of his church clothes after the blessing and took his stance then waited for the reunion. He was so excited I think we all thought he was gonna pee his pants. They let the dogs and off they went tackling Dan left and right. They attacked him so hard they cut his lip and gave him some war wounds. In the end I think it was well worth it. The first time we got to see Lyli, Dan jumped right in to hold her and feed her the bottle. Mr.B was super excited to see his family sense again he has not seen them sense we moved. He has actually seen my family more then his own sense we moved so he was pretty excited to see them . His dad picked us up from the airport and almost squeezed his dad to death he was so excited. When we got to his house his mom said what room we were in and that the sheets were on the beds for us to make them. Little did we know she was tricking us to go upstairs and see she put chocolate on our pillows! Yummy!!! Needless to say they were excited to see us to until Mrs.B beat his dad in a game called five crowns.



Lexy while we were gone was taken care of by some really nice people in our ward. They were not able to take care of her one of the days so they were quick and smart and thought of someone and then asked us if it was okay. It is nice to have people so willing to help us out and watch our dog while we are gone and take care of her when they can't. We came home and she was so excited to see us as she always is when we leave her for a couple of days to a couple of hours. I brought back from home some things for her and I think she has another favorite toy. I get squirrel toys for Christmas as a joke. One year I got a dog toy version and I brought it back fro Lexy and she loves it!



Well that's all for now

Mrs. Buzzy B out

A weekend of craziness

Hey everyone I am back! We have been busy all weekend doing things here and there and having fun....

Mrs.B here and I had a busy weekend of goals being complete and pains to get over. This past weekend I ran my first half marathon ever! It was definitely a tough challenge and Mr.B supported me all the way through and he was great at it. I had been training for a long time now and I was hoping I could make it under 2 hours. About 1/4 of the way through the race my foot acted up really bad so I was having a hard time getting through the race with my foot. I felt to get through it I had to say a little prayer which I did and it helped me get the race finished. After the race I saw some old faces that used to live back in NC that moved out to Utah. It was good to see them as they were with their chik fila stand. On our way back to the car my foot started hurting again and we are sure that it is more then likely a stress fracture but under Mr.B's orders I can't go running for a little while so that my foot can rest and it can get better. I hope that it will heal fast. Our friends watched Lexy this past weekend and she was the happiest I have ever seen in a long time when we got home. She cried and cried a ton and wouldn't stop crying it was funny but I love that dog.





Mr.B he is one great guy let me tell you! He just finished the semester while we were in Utah for his online classes. He did his best and that is all I could ever ask for. I know that no matter how well he did he did his best and that is what is best for him. He is pretty amazing he woke up with me on race day at 3:30 in the morning just to take me to the race and then stayed until it started which was at 6:00am until I crossed the finish line. What a great man he is. Sense the race like I said my foot has been hurting and if it hurts to much he does not hesitate to give me a piggy back ride to were I need to go. Sunday he wanted to go for a walk but knew it was bad for my foot so we just went outside and did sidewalk chalk together. It was a fun weekend.


On another note our long time friends sense when we first moved here moved out and went back to GA which was a sad and hard thing for all of us to understand but it was for the better for them. One day we hope to all live in the same state again and be close to each other and see their kids grow up and as well as our future kids with theirs. We will miss them but always stay in contact with them until we see them again.


Lexy is doing well we took her swimming for the first time about a week ago. I don't know if she liked it our not but we loved watching her swim. She was so cute with her paws racing to get out of the lake. She loved how the sand felt and as soon as she got out of the lake she rubbed her whole face into the sand. She ended up looking like a completely different dog after that. Needless to say she had to get a bath as soon as we got home. She is so funny she got sand every where on her little dog self. I had to use baby wipes and get most if not all of the sand out of her ears with it. But she is still the happiest and laziest dog I know.



Till next time,

Mrs. & Mr. Buzzy B out .....
