I'm not going to bore you with all the details of every story but in short: Macey turned one in May! It's amazing how time goes by so fast. We had a little party with some friends and I made a sorry attempt at a cake. I'm blaming it on my lack of supplies. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) Mac's parents came up in July for 2 weeks. It was a lot of fun having them here and made me even more home sick than I already am! Macey loved spending time with them and getting to know them better. She wasn't quite sure what to do when they left and she didn't have anyone to show off for anymore. After Mac's parents left he was busy playing guide and taking some family of our friends out fishing. The last of our excitement was a few weeks ago when my parents and grandparents came to visit. Once again Macey loved having someone to show off too, but it took her a little while to warm up because she was trying to get over a cold, but it didn't keep her down too long. So, now for some pictures. I'll try not to overwhelm you. =-)<br />

She's pretty headstrong and quite a little tease. She's walking all over the place and most of the time trying to run most places.<br /><br /><div align="center">Fun in the tub</div><div align="center"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724479899016159074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CYYapKhjPvY/T3FwI3i432I/AAAAAAAABGo/mS5Sw1NiAWc/s320/DSC_7459.JPG" />Such a little ham!<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B9-YgiG1YqE/T3FwISbUG1I/AAAAAAAABGc/rjT4UCcLJk0/s1600/DSC_7460.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724479889052277586" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B9-YgiG1YqE/T3FwISbUG1I/AAAAAAAABGc/rjT4UCcLJk0/s320/DSC_7460.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eas73xkPYxM/T3FvscGy-RI/AAAAAAAABGQ/0R7ZKNET91Y/s1600/DSC_7462.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724479410614237458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eas73xkPYxM/T3FvscGy-RI/AAAAAAAABGQ/0R7ZKNET91Y/s320/DSC_7462.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="left"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GU3GAwVH-Xk/T3FvsEXdQqI/AAAAAAAABGE/uep1MB9fd88/s1600/DSC_7464.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724479404241666722" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GU3GAwVH-Xk/T3FvsEXdQqI/AAAAAAAABGE/uep1MB9fd88/s320/DSC_7464.JPG" /></a>This is Macey's first play date with our friend, Aeverie! Aeverie is about the same age as Macey, maybe a couple weeks older, and they had a lot of fun together. It was fun to watch them interact with each other.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NZNY8nZMZkc/T3FvODy_k1I/AAAAAAAABF4/a-gLJCEOANk/s1600/DSC_7428.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724478888692650834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NZNY8nZMZkc/T3FvODy_k1I/AAAAAAAABF4/a-gLJCEOANk/s320/DSC_7428.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m_iE0OMkUe8/T3FvNuHa_yI/AAAAAAAABFs/Rka9d93bTZg/s1600/DSC_7431.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 212px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724478882872753954" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m_iE0OMkUe8/T3FvNuHa_yI/AAAAAAAABFs/Rka9d93bTZg/s320/DSC_7431.JPG" /></a>I had just sorted all my laundry so that I could start a load and was in the bathroom/laundry room putting some in the washer and I came out to these two "innocent" babies.

And things for us are going really well. Mac is no the head chef at Grandma's Feather Bed, which is the other Best Western that our boss runs. He LOVES it and has gotten great reviews since he took over in February. Mel, our boss, is pretty excited to have him in there and has been thoroughly impressed with all the food Mac has put out. School is almost over for me and I am very excited about that! It will be nice to not have to worry about homework any more for a while. But that's it for now....<br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div></div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-21987075911577702642012-01-31T19:44:00.071-07:002012-02-04T21:40:44.890-07:00Very overdue....again!<div>So as I was putting the pictures on this post I realized I probably should have broken it down into a few smaller posts, but oh well. You get all the pictures at once.</div><div><br /></div><div>Things here in Alaska are going well. School has started again which means super busy between that, work, and taking care of my cute little family! But, a lot has happened since our last post so I'll give you a little update and then let you enjoy the pictures...</div><div><br /></div><div>Since our last past we have moved three, yes, three times! Our bosses, Mel and Sharon sold their house, which is also where our apartment was. I never realized hos much stuff we had accumulated since we got here and how much stuff would fit in our little apartment. Unfortunately our apartment that we were going to move into wasn't ready when we moved out so we had to live in the hotel for a month! I've always hated living out of a suitcase and I was self-conscious about keeping Macey quiet at night, but what can you do. After the month in the hotel we moved into our new apartment. It was a nice one bedroom, new appliances, and it had a washer and drier, and a dishwasher! I was in heaven. But our landlady was crazy. I won't go into the details, but we'll just say it wasn't a good fit. So, right after Christmas we moved....again. We are now living in a nice 3 bedroom duplex that one of our managers owns and it is great! It also has a washer, drier, and dishwasher, and a nice big backyard. It's so nice having some extra space but I'm afraid of all the extra stuff we can now accumulate. Macey has her own room and Mac and I have a room to do my sewing and crafting stuff and his reloading, hunting, and fishing stuff.</div><div><br /></div><div>I got one semester down for the year and started the second one. So far so good, its definitely a lot of work and time management but it'll be worth it when its all over and done with. Macey is growing so fast! She's on the verge of walking, if we could just get her to not be a chicken and take more than one step. Soon enough though. She's 9 months old now. At her 6 month appointment she was almost 29 inches and 15 lbs. So I'd say now she's probably 30-ish inches and about 17-18 pounds, tall and skinny. She also has 7 teeth now, working on 9 so she's a bit grumpy lately.</div><div> </div><div>Mac is doing really well too. He went out duck hunting and deer hunting on the boat a few times. He got a few ducks and some of the guys on his boat got deer but he didn't actually shoot one this year. We're still planning on going out around May to get our brown bears, I'm pretty excited!

I woke up to her puking on me and it didn't stop all day. We ended up taking her into the emergency room and they had to give her IV fluids because she couldn't keep anything down. We were in the hospital for like 6 hours and were almost admitted but she finally was able to keep stuff down. It was so hard watching them try and get her IV in and then they had to do catheterize her to get a urine sample, that was the worst. The first nurse I don't think knew what she was doing because it seemed like she was just poking around down there and then we finally got two nurses to come in and try and they got it a couple seconds. Definitely a relief when that was over. Thankfully it didn't take her too long to get back to her old, smiley self again.</div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZYM2QWq7cwM/Ty3xXJM9_DI/AAAAAAAAA-M/z3BN0QgQUlA/s1600/10-21%2B%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZYM2QWq7cwM/Ty3xXJM9_DI/AAAAAAAAA-M/z3BN0QgQUlA/s320/10-21%2B%25282%2529.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705481682857884722" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIy2PU2PPoY/Ty3wbg30EII/AAAAAAAAA-A/rzVa0DOOU6c/s1600/10-21%2B%25283%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OIy2PU2PPoY/Ty3wbg30EII/AAAAAAAAA-A/rzVa0DOOU6c/s320/10-21%2B%25283%2529.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705480658419454082" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fR2GfxqFDLI/Ty3wbaIzh4I/AAAAAAAAA90/XI1Wgz9y8R8/s1600/10-21%2B%25285%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fR2GfxqFDLI/Ty3wbaIzh4I/AAAAAAAAA90/XI1Wgz9y8R8/s320/10-21%2B%25285%2529.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705480656611673986" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Halloween!

A little sad, but I guess better late than never right? =] Here's a quick summary of our birth story:</div><div> </div><div>Mac was at work so I was home by myself and started having pretty consistent and painful contractions for about an hour at home. Once Mac got home from work we called the hospital to tell them we were coming and they tried to tell us we didn't have to come in right away, as you'll find out, we were glad we did.</div><div> </div><div>We checked into the hospital at 12:12am and my contractions were about 2 minutes apart. The registration lady couldn't find Mac's wrist band but just sent us up when Mac told her my contractions were getting stronger. When we got up to the labor and delivery they gave me my robe, had me pee, in a cup, weighed me and were in the process of taking my blood pressure when Mac urged the nurse to check me because, for those of you who know me, I have a very high pain tolerance and the most noise I made was a quiet "ouch". So the nurse reluctantly checked me and as her face went red and her eyes got big she urged me not to push until she got back with the doctor. She may as well have told me not to breathe. A few minutes later the doctor came in, checked me, broke my water, I pushed 5 times and at 12:57am Macey Adele Anderson was born. She was 6 lbs 9 oz, 19 1/4 inches long and of course the most perfect baby ever!</div><div> </div><div>We had called both our parents on the way to the hospital to let them know that we were heading in and I think they were a little surprised to get another phone call so soon. The nice thing about having a fast labor is that Macey's head wasn't coned at all and her face really wasn't that swollen. The bad part is that you have to do it all natural and there were a lot of stitches involved. But we are so happy and have been having way too much fun with our pretty little girl!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Best Mother's Day present ever!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 214px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634503402900233938" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jP8gU0OaRrU/TjHG_feZHtI/AAAAAAAAAoI/nCzMMANDins/s320/IMG_2261.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634504799287582258" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Nxaaplqa_aM/TjHIQxbFHjI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/o6GiVaobMQE/s320/IMG_2276.JPG" border="0" /><p align="right"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634504805779793922" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jCMNiKiK25A/TjHIRJm8aAI/AAAAAAAAAoY/iYNRN_PD6m8/s320/IMG_2286.JPG" border="0" /></p><div align="left"> </div><p></p><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uJQxlR40ET0/TjHIRsB7rtI/AAAAAAAAAoo/xvWZhLv8jbc/s1600/IMG_2352.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634504815019798226" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uJQxlR40ET0/TjHIRsB7rtI/AAAAAAAAAoo/xvWZhLv8jbc/s320/IMG_2352.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634505906625219522" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZVLk-qLa7Q/TjHJROk8i8I/AAAAAAAAApA/zFojB0VjExw/s320/IMG_2384.JPG" border="0" />Daddy's little girl.<br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HzicM_PRor0/TjHG-x3REEI/AAAAAAAAAn4/3rw1ihZwDTc/s1600/IMG_2392.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634505895704385074" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7I-HXzel0Go/TjHJQl5N1jI/AAAAAAAAAo4/Cz85dNLxgSg/s320/IMG_2381.JPG" border="0" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634503390656532546" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HzicM_PRor0/TjHG-x3REEI/AAAAAAAAAn4/3rw1ihZwDTc/s320/IMG_2392.JPG" border="0" /></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XScwKSHfQkg/TjHG-kZ3olI/AAAAAAAAAnw/cnW0QbtyJVs/s1600/IMG_2389.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634503387043570258" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XScwKSHfQkg/TjHG-kZ3olI/AAAAAAAAAnw/cnW0QbtyJVs/s320/IMG_2389.JPG" border="0" /></a>Going home!

She is growing so fast! She's almost 3 months and at our last check up a couple weeks ago she was 10 lbs and 23 inches long. She has discovered her voice and is quite a talker. I love waking up to her cute little coos and fun baby talk. She recognizes who Mac and I are and most of the time a big smile will come across her face when she sees us. I'll try to do better at posting from now on!<br /><div><div><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-42999174116808082552011-03-16T22:12:00.008-06:002011-03-16T22:34:07.823-06:00My hand at sewing...So, I got a new sewing machine for my birthday and have tried my hand at sewing baby clothes. This was the first time that I'd sewn clothing. I've sewn blankets, bags and table runners but this was a new experience.

It's amazing the technology they have now and the things that they have done with it. I was a little hesitant about the whole 4D ultrasound because I wanted it to be a surprise, as to what she looks like, until after she was born. But Mac convinced me, saying whether we see her now or in a couple months it's going to be a surprise, and I am super excited to have these videos so I can look at her any time I want! She definitely has Mac's big lips and we think his nose too. Enjoy...<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxX_9eSLo0ku1nKxFywUgdHIiQhz1RdXY3w7xkxcjH0HYOKJwq13tP2pTnDlmH8lbRiRypvrxucH2wk1-GaBA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz_vEYhLGWN7eTtEtdDn9sR0eaCJ4nzG4IQGc9UMt-w2NPrWO9bYyunT3E9Xt8SdyelPb_K-b-RQLHJsahs8w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-36511423268466024782011-01-14T20:17:00.013-07:002011-01-15T21:04:40.647-07:00Christmas, New Years, and everything in between!<div><br /></div><div><div><div>Be forewarned, it's gonna be a big one...<div><br /></div><div>So, first things first. We found out what we are having! We had an appointment the day before we got on our plane to head down to Utah and we were really hoping to be able to find out so we could let everyone at home know. Well, apparently the baby didn't get the memo because it took us about half and hour to finally get a shot so that we could see. It's a girl! She was quite content being all curled up and not moving a bit, despite the poking and prodding from all angles. Finally, she relented and decided to reveal herself and we couldn't be happier! (I'll post a few pictures later, they're not on my computer yet.) She was so cute and the things that they are able to see and show you in an ultrasound are amazing. We got to see the chambers of her heart, her stomach, kidneys, both sides of her brain and her cute little feet. Every time I see her I get more and more excited to hold her and love her even more. And we'll get to see her every month at each appointment because I have placenta previa, where the placenta is attached over the cervix. The doctor thinks it still might move as my uterus expands, but in the mean time they will monitor it. If it doesn't end up moving I will get to schedule a c-section. Oh boy!</div><div><br /></div><div>We flew into Salt Lake on the 14th of December and got to spend about 10 days with my family. It was so good to get to see them, and I didn't mind the little extra attention for being pregnant! Mac and I did a lot of shopping and a lot of eating! I don't think I've ever been so burnt out on restaurant and fast food in my life. But I loved every bite of it! It was so nice to actually have places to go out to eat that were good and didn't cost a fortune.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of my favorite things we did while we were in Utah was going to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert. Aside from standing in the cold for what seemed like an eternity while my mom and Jordan made their way through Salt Lake Traffic at 5:00, it was awesome! I had never been inside the conference center and it is ENORMOUS. And it was amazing how well the sound carried in that big of a space. It was a neat experience though.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Intermission</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div>We were sad to leave Utah but we had berry pie waiting for us in Idaho for Christmas! We spent Christmas at Mac's grandparents house in Aberdeen. It was really good to get to see his grandparents and his aunt Joy and her family. Along with his parents and Blaine and Tessa and of course Klaira. Klaira took some time getting warmed up to Mac. She wasn't entirely sure what to think of his facial hair. Anytime he asked for a hug she would always tell him, "In a minute," and walk away, and every so often she would have to remind him, "You're hairy." It was pretty cute and she finally warmed up to him.

It was nice to be able to see and spend time with family. A lot of games were played, great food, and good times. Then on to wonderful Montana.

We had bought some snacks and things to have for New Years Eve and Klaira decided that she wanted some Chex Mix. So, she asked grandma and grandma told her, "We have to wait until tonight. We have to wait until we say Happy New Year." Klaira stood their for a second, a little disappointed at being told no and then replied, "Happy New Year." It was pretty cute. She figured as long as she said Happy New Year she would get some snacks, regardless of if her and grandma's time lines were the same.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">We decided that since we had all of the family together that we should take a family picture.

The fun parts anyways. We didn't want to leave, but unfortunately we had to get back to school and work. I think that was the worst part, the trip from Montana to Alaska, but more specifically the ferry ride from Bellingham, WA to Juneau. 60 hours on a boat is far to long for anyone. Throw in being pregnant and running out of movies and it's a pretty miserable time. Thankfully we only had rough seas one day and I only got sick that once. But we made it home at 4:30am only to find out that we had grabbed the wrong house keys and were locked out of our apartment. Luckily, Mel, our boss was awake by about 5:15 and he had a key to get us in. What a way to end a vacation. </div><div><br /><div>I told you it was gonna be a long one, but that's what happens when you haven't blogged in over a month, you're on vacation, and there are two holidays in the mix of everything. I'll try to stay on top of things again, but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully, I didn't bore you to death!</div><div><div><br /></div></div></div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-7189836057485586632010-12-07T18:19:00.002-07:002010-12-07T18:24:19.215-07:00A homework project...So, for one of my classes me and another girl, Michelle, had to create a blog that was based in our field of study, education, and how technology has evolved in our area. It's been pretty slow going so far but we're working on it. I am focusing on doing more of an integrated curriculum. Meaning that I think that students should be exposed to music and art and those types of subjects in the actual classroom and integrating them into things like math, science, english, etc. Michelle is focusing more on a special education perspective and working with autistic children. Should be fun and you should all check it out at <a href="http://michelleandjess311.blogspot.com">michelleandjess311.blogspot.com</a> and leave us a comment/feedback.mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-66625633149801284202010-11-30T17:31:00.002-07:002010-11-30T17:49:37.585-07:00November, glad its over!<div>So the last two weeks of this month have been a little hectic. Last Monday I passed out while I was in the shower, yeah a little scary. Luckily, Mac was there to catch me so I didn't hit my head or anything. Apparently I was out cold for about 45 seconds and then took another minute or so to get reoriented. Of course I sobbed the whole time I was coming too. So we went to the doctor just to make sure everything was alright with the baby. Thankfully it was just fine. They said I probably just got too hot and was maybe a little dehydrated and my blood pressure dropped and down I went. That's story number one...</div><div><br /></div><div>Before I go to story number two, some good news. Thanksgiving! It was a little weird not being with mine or Mac's family but we had good friends to spend it with. Mac and I had to work but the hotel was super slow so we got paid time and a half to cook dinner and do nothing. Pretty great! Then on Saturday Mac and I got to skype with Tessa and Klaira and Tim and Sandra. It was good to get to see them and Klaira is getting so big and talking like crazy! Now to story number two...</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday morning came along and our church doesn't start until 1:00 so we just lounged around and slept in a little bit. But when I went to go get ready I found that I was spotting quite a bit. Not exactly what I was hoping to see. I instantly started sobbing thinking the worst had happened. I yelled for Mac and he tried to calm me down but I was a little inconsolable. I finally calmed down a little bit and he gave me a blessing before we left for the hospital. By the time we got there I had calmed down and had a good Sabbath headache going for me. Three hours later we had an ultrasound and everything was fine. They did a bunch of measurements and made sure the placenta was still attached and the cervix was still closed and everything checked out. A giant sigh of relief. The good part of all of this was we got to see our baby again. It even waved to us. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TPWYDaD1TlI/AAAAAAAAAbc/dD5qJZ8ZPxQ/s1600/IMG_1663.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TPWYDaD1TlI/AAAAAAAAAbc/dD5qJZ8ZPxQ/s320/IMG_1663.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545505700479061586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TPWYCwtKVUI/AAAAAAAAAbU/QVFMnBcaF8U/s1600/IMG_1661.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TPWYCwtKVUI/AAAAAAAAAbU/QVFMnBcaF8U/s320/IMG_1661.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545505689378116930" /></a>I am so thankful to have Mac in my life and for his ability to give me a blessing when I needed it most and didn't think about it. We are really blessed to have healthy baby and apparently a fighter. I can't wait to get to meet it and hold it in my arms. We told the ultrasound tech that if he happened to see any indication of what the baby was to feel free to tell us, but the baby was nice and cuddled up. I'm so grateful that everything turned out alright but I'm still recovering from the initial shock and stress of it all. Another appointment on Friday and hopefully the good news will continue.mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-19082213909397725132010-11-12T22:17:00.002-07:002010-11-12T22:30:03.334-07:00Appointment number 2So, we had our 2nd appointment the other day and it was quite possibly the shortest Dr.'s appointment I have ever been to. We got to the clinic, checked in and sat in the waiting room for a little bit, gotta love that! Then they take me back weigh me, take my blood pressure and tell me to go pee in a cup. (No problem there!) So, I get back to exam room expecting to have another in depth appointment and I hear, "Should we listen to the baby's heartbeat today?" The Dr. asks as she comes into the room. Well, heck yeah! That's almost as exciting as getting to see the little thing (which I thought we were going to get to do). She whips out the Doppler machine and begins to tell me how it's usually pretty hard to find the heartbeat when they're so small. "But don't worry," she says, "I'll be patient and we'll find it." Not two seconds later you could hear the heartbeat! It was so amazing and a very tender moment. The tears never hit my cheeks, so "technically" I didn't cry but it was definitely an emotional moment. Then, just like that it was over. That was my whole appointment!! I asked a few questions and we left. I think all total it took about 20 minutes once we got into the exam room. But at least we know the baby's heartbeat is strong and everything is going well. So, that's my story of our 2nd appointment. I'm hoping at our next one we'll be able to talk the Dr. into scheduling and ultrasound before we leave for Christmas, and that the baby will cooperate, so we can find out the sex. They don't usually do it until 20 weeks but they can do it any time between 18 and 20 and I'll be a little over 18 when we leave. So keep your fingers crossed for us!mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-18820265281101223852010-10-15T18:45:00.004-06:002010-10-15T18:54:05.431-06:00We're PREGNANT!!<div>We are expecting and so very very excited! We originally planned on waiting to tell our parents until Mac's dad's birthday in November but we decided, "Why wait?" So we blabbed! It was pretty funny too because neither one of our parents believed us. It didn't take a lot of convincing but their first reactions were of disbelief. But we had our first appointment this last Monday and it was awesome. Aside from all the poking and prodding we got to see our little one. I am a little over 9 weeks and the baby is about the size of a grape. Which made it even more amazing to be able to see it's little arm and leg buds, watch it move, and see it's heart beat. So, crazy but mostly absolutely amazing! We'll try and keep up on updating and staying on top of this whole blogging business but here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3MajouQI/AAAAAAAAAbM/-jVvVdU-7yQ/s1600/IMG_1657.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3MajouQI/AAAAAAAAAbM/-jVvVdU-7yQ/s320/IMG_1657.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528440335256566018" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">You can still see the yok sack above it's head and it's little arms and legs!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3MMNI32I/AAAAAAAAAbE/zOLseNHxtdw/s1600/IMG_1656.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3MMNI32I/AAAAAAAAAbE/zOLseNHxtdw/s320/IMG_1656.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528440331404107618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3LsMrzKI/AAAAAAAAAa8/QG2gYNzx3Cg/s1600/IMG_1655.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3LsMrzKI/AAAAAAAAAa8/QG2gYNzx3Cg/s320/IMG_1655.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528440322812267682" /></a><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">A front view, kind of looks like the face but it's hard to say when they're still so alien looking.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3LSEdi7I/AAAAAAAAAa0/TZgEKX2zdnU/s1600/IMG_1653.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TLj3LSEdi7I/AAAAAAAAAa0/TZgEKX2zdnU/s320/IMG_1653.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528440315798457266" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-21437402037399832552010-10-04T22:43:00.002-06:002010-10-04T23:05:11.774-06:00It's been a while...Hello friends. I just thought that I would reassure all of you that Mac and I haven't been eaten by a bear or had any freak fishing accidents we are just crazy busy. But, I have a few spare minutes at work so I'll give you all a little update. =-)<div><br /></div><div>Mac and I are both in school right now. We're attending UAS (University of Alaska Southeast). It's alright but it's been a lot of work for both of us. I'm taking 18 credits and Mac is taking 12 and we're both working the same shift together, full time for the Best Western. It works our really nice, but we don't have a life. We get up in the morning, go to school, then get done with school and go to work until 11:00 or 11:30pm and get up and do the same thing all over again. It's a lot of work but it will be worth it in the long run right? Sometimes I wonder.</div><div><br /></div><div>I recently got a calling at church. I'm the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's Presidency. So far it's been really fun and not too demanding on an already overloaded schedule. But I know that the Lord is and will continue to bless both Mac and I for the willingness to serve. Mac also received a calling a couple weeks ago. He's been wanting one, just so that he doesn't get complacent. He's the assistant scout master. Which works out nicely for us again because both of our activities are on Wednesday nights.</div><div><br /></div><div>It seems I've bitten off more than I can chew and my loving husband hates going to bed. Now you wouldn't think that would affect me, I can just go to bed when I want to, right? Sometimes I do, but most of the time I feel bad because even though we work together we don't really get to spend that much quality time together, which is just a part of life, but I still feel bad. So, needless to say we stay up too late and get up earlier than either one of us would like. I don't know how Mac does it and still functions, he's super human I think! I just wish he'd give me some of his super human-ness. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, other than that, not a whole lot of anything interesting happening in the Anderson family! The fishing season is pretty much over, which is sad for the both of us and now there is nothing to do in Juneau. It really does basically shut down after the last cruise ship comes in. I thought Mac was exaggerating when he said that before but he wasn't. All the shops downtown start closing up shop, some of them a few weeks before the last cruise ship. And the hotel is starting to slow down now. We've had nights where we have rooms to sell which again, I didn't think would happen. Anyways, now that I've told you all how busy we are and complained a little, I've got homework to do. Yuck! =-P</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-57244615068569017132010-08-07T12:46:00.010-06:002010-08-07T22:43:18.776-06:00Fishing in Montana Creek<div align="left">This creek is one of our favorite spots to fish. It's down in this steep cut canyon and just beautiful, probably because its called "Montana" creek! Anyways, the chum salmon run up this creek to spawn and the dolly varden trout follow them up and eat their eggs, so that's what we fish for is the trout, cuz the chum's are nasty. So, here's some pictures of our last few trips to Montana...creek.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">There are raspberry and blueberry bushes everywhere.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3acl-RNGI/AAAAAAAAAac/fAJIPl7k5D0/s1600/IMG_1086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502794504481092706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3acl-RNGI/AAAAAAAAAac/fAJIPl7k5D0/s320/IMG_1086.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div align="center">Beautiful canyon creek.</div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><p align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3acSy9dFI/AAAAAAAAAaU/Nun-EF-vHP0/s1600/IMG_1096.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502794499333387346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3acSy9dFI/AAAAAAAAAaU/Nun-EF-vHP0/s320/IMG_1096.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3ab7FYCTI/AAAAAAAAAaM/ruGk70xAefA/s1600/IMG_1109.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502794492968175922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3ab7FYCTI/AAAAAAAAAaM/ruGk70xAefA/s320/IMG_1109.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Mac, the fish slayer!</p><p align="center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3XCbAqfCI/AAAAAAAAAaE/oV0kn38hqh8/s1600/IMG_1130.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502790756326865954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3XCbAqfCI/AAAAAAAAAaE/oV0kn38hqh8/s320/IMG_1130.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3XBtvbtdI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/okH4bBiUDM4/s1600/IMG_1144.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502790744174998994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TF3XBtvbtdI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/okH4bBiUDM4/s320/IMG_1144.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p align="center">I was playing with the camera while Mac was fishing and thought this would be a cool picture.

They happened to be two king salmon, which we were not really expecting to see. So we stayed for what I thought would be a little while and Mac swung big streamer flies at these fish. I ended up snagging them a couple times but everytime it would wrap him around the snag and snap him off. This was one right before it snapped him off. He did finally get one to go down stream but it ended up swimming right under a tree Mac was standing behind.

I'm not gonna lie I was a little nervouse because I was on the other side of the creek all by myself and it looked like the bear was coming across the creek my way.

Last summer I was in Alaska and whenever I was outside I was sportin the neoprene waders and a jacket so there was no sun touchin my skin. Before that it was winter, not much sun, and the summer before I was in Montana and had pretty good color. So, I figure it's been closer to two years since I've had a decent tan.<div><br /></div><div>A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I could see pretty much every vein in my legs and arms, not something I was used to, so I mentioned it to Mac. He kindly told me that it was because my skin had gone beyond pale and was now virtually translucent! I decided he was probably right when every time I went to church and saw my reflection in the doors and was appalled at my legs and their lack of any sign of pigmentation.</div><div><br /></div><div>So the other day I went and bought a tanning package and tanned for the first time in a long time. It was glorious! So, I'm hoping that after a few weeks I never see my veins again!</div>mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-89602910136277990862010-06-12T14:36:00.004-06:002010-07-01T14:54:04.538-06:00One year anniversary!!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F37oxfTgGi8/TCz7a-hbwLI/AAAAAAAAAS4/YOwWjFsWPt4/s1600/IMG_0974.JPG"></a>I know this was about 3 1/2 months ago, but I'm a bad blogger so you'll just have to bear with me! It's true, Mac and I have been married a year (a little over that now!) And it has been wonderful. People are always telling us that the first year is the hardest or that the first 5 years are the hardest, I don't buy it. Of course we had a few rough patches but nothing enough to constitute our entire year as being hard. Through it all I did learn a few things about my wonderful husband, some I already knew that have been reaffirmed and others that are completely new:<div><ol><li>Mac is a wonderful cook! This I already knew but every time he makes something it is always delicious and I don't know how he knows to put what spices and flavors together. He just pulls things out of thin air it seems like. For example, the other day we decided we wanted some chocolate chip cookies so we buy the chocolate and come home, well, we forgot the baking soda (I think, one of the baking things) and he just threw in the ingredients, without measuring and the cookies actually turned out good. The texture was a little caky but they were still good with a glass of milk. =-)</li><li>I hate making decisions, even the little ones like what do I want for dinner, and it drives Mac crazy. He's come to completely loath the phrases, "I don't know" and "I don't care." I'm trying to do better, but I think Mac might be crazy before too long.</li><li>Mac has a lot of hobbies! I never knew someone could have so many things that they want to do or are currently pursuing, to name a few: fly tying, fly rod building, saddle making, making spurs, fly fishing or any fishing for that matter, bow and rifle hunting, cooking, learn to play the guitar, record some music, aspiring photographer...just to name a few.</li></ol><div>I could keep listing things that I have learned through a year of marriage but it could get quite lengthy.

My dad had just started it right before we got home and it's a great movie so we didn't change the channel.<br /><br />I don't think I have ever cried anywhere in that movie in my entire life until last night. It was the part in the middle where the war telegram guy comes in to the locker room before their game to deliver the telegram saying one of their husbands was killed. Well, he can't find the name of the woman he's supposed to deliver it to. So, the coach (Tom Hanks) takes it from him and finds out for himself. (Since I have scene this movie several times, I already know what's going to happen and so the tears are already welling up.) He slowly walks down the line of woman and almost stopps at one of the main characters but passes her by and goes the next woman. She immediately begins to cry as she realizes her husband won't be returning home.<br /><br />By this time tears are streaming down my face as it moves to the next scene. The main character, Dottie, is in her room crying, thinking about her husband and that she hasn't heard from him and all of the sudden, a knock and in comes her husband. She cries even harder, as do I, and she asks, "Can we just hold each other for the rest of our lives?"<br /><br />I know kinda sad and sappy but I couldn't help it. I turn to Mac with tears trickling down my cheeks and say, "See what you did to me. I've never cried in this movie before." He just laughed and gave me a big hug and a kiss on the forehead.<br /><br />So, the point of my post...I love Mac SO much. I have never cried at that point of the movie because I don't think I fully understood the powerful connection there is between a husband and wife. And now that I am a wife, just the thought of Mac not coming home, from anything let alone from fighting in a war, is both heartwrenching and terrifying.<br /><br />Anyways, I thought it was kind of a cute experience and maybe it's just because it was me but I it's the little things that make life (and marriage) big!mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-64788034566652631232010-04-30T09:21:00.003-06:002010-04-30T09:41:22.750-06:00A little update...Once again it has been some time since I have posted on our blog. Please accept my sincere apologies. ;) As always things have been a little crazy around here and blogging still hasn't made it to the top of my list, but I have about an hour to kill until my next class so I thought a little update was in order.<br /><br />Mac got a job working at the golf course which was a huge relief on our finances and on my stress level, not to mention a very helpful tax return. He seems to like it and I think he's played more golf in the last month than he has in the last two years combined. I'm still working at the bank and am currently training my replacement. She's really nice and I think she'll do well. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for the bank, she is a fast learner. So whenever she is at the bank she uses my drawer since that's the one she'll be working out of. Because of this I get to sit around and do nothing. I do homework if I have it and finals are coming up but you can only study so much. Nights are the worst because its just the two of us and she helps all the customers so she gets as much practice as possible. So once again I find myself sitting around twiddling my thumbs. It's unfortunate now but I am grateful that the people I work for are more than willing to give me my job back when we get back from Alaska.<br /><br />Speaking of Alaska! Only two more weeks until we take off for our wonderful summer "job". Mac talked to Mel and Sharon the other day and told them that we take our last test on the 14th and they promptly replied with, "so can you leave on the 15th?" Technically we could but we have made plans to go to Spokane for a stake temple day. So it looks like we will be leaving sometime after the 16th! I'm definitely looking forward to it. It will be so nice spending my mornings and part of the afternoon fishing next to Mac and just enjoying each others company. And then working with each other. It's basically a 2nd honeymoon and I can't wait!!<br /><br />In other news....My parents are moving to Utah. My dad got a job as the Mohawk flooring representative down there and so they are beginning the craziness of getting the house ready to sell and sorting through everything to pack and getting ready for the big move. Right now they're working on staining all the new trim and base pieces but the weather hasn't been cooperating so they've been staining it inside and I'm pretty sure the smell will never dissipate. I'm excited for them to move but unfortunately that means that we have to pack all of our stuff that we're not taking with us to Alaska and find a place for it. The only bright side is that maybe I'll get rid of some of our junk that we don't use anymore! (keep your fingers crossed for me!)<br /><br />So, Mac is on this crazy diet right now. I was a little concerned about it because he only gets about 500 calories per day and he can only eat certain foods which has extreme potential for grouchiness. Thankfully he hasn't been too groughy. He has definitely had his moments but all in all he has been wonderful. Since he started his diet he hasn't really been able to cook like he likes to. So the other day he called me at work and the first thing he says, "Can I cook for you tonight?" Now tell me, what wife in her right mind would turn down the opportunity of not cooking? Granted I don't cook a whole bunch because Mac likes it more than I do but still, I was excited! Of course I submitted to his request and had an amazing grilled pork tenderloin, that he basted with some kind of glaze, a vegetable stock risotto and fresh green beans. It was delicious! Needless to say he is probably the best husband ever!mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-25238598006943565232010-03-23T18:38:00.004-06:002010-03-23T18:55:57.956-06:00"Missing" Teeth<p>I know what you may be thinking from the title and I can assure you, Mac and I both have all of our teeth in tact. My reason for this post is a little reminiscent...</p><p>On Sunday I was subbing in Primary for Sandy Kroll, she teaches the 6-7 year olds. Anyways, they are quite a rambuncious class but were definitely a lot of fun. We learned about missionaries and how we can all be missionaries everyday. Then on to sharing time. Of course got beat to the "big" chair, no big deal, I'll just sit with my knees tucked up to my chin. So about half way through sharing time Madison Jarrell, who was in my class, turns to me and says with pure excitement, "My toof fell out!!" (puts it in MY hand) "It just came right out, I didn't even feel it!!" Her eyes twinkled with the prospect of a gift from the tooth fairy. I gave it back and told her to put it in her pocket so she didn't lose it. On the way home I told Mac about how I kind of missed losing teeth. It was always exciting and nerve racking all at the same time. Would it come out easy or would I have to tie a string to it and slam the door?!?! So we then began talking about ways that we had our teeth pulled. Just to name a few:</p><p></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 151px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://imtina.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/toothless-wonder.jpg" /> </p><ul><li>Yank it</li><br /><li>Non-stop wiggling</li><br /><li>Tie floss or other string to your tooth and the door and proceed to slam the door. (Talk about anxiety!)</li><br /><li>Bite into an apple (I did this once and it hurt like crazy because the tooth was out on one side but the other side still had a firmly attached root. So as I bit the tooth tried to go into the apple but instead pivoted on the secure root and dug into my gums. Definitely no pleasant! I woudldn't recommend this one)</li><br /><li>Tie floss or string to your tooth and a heavy object and drop off something relatively high.

When I lived in Utah I used to ride all the time because my dad calf roped all the time. I would warm up and cool down his horses for him and even ran barrels a couple of times. When we moved to Montana I still road but not as much and we didn't always have horses. Anyways, I've always loved it so I really do hope I have horses of my own someday. =-) So before Christmas Mac kept telling me how excited he was about my present and even came close to telling me (or so he says, I don't believe him). There were times when he would ask if I wanted to know what it was and of course just the thought that he might actually tell me was exciting but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. All he would tell me was that he was "making" my present and that it was really big and was going to need a huge box (he actually ended up making his own box taping pieces of cardboard together and just left the bottom off so I could just pull it off the top) Anyways, it was a great present and I was totally shocked!

I mean honestly, what could be more important the blogging? =-)<br />Well, I think I'll start at Christmas...Christmas was wonderful. Our first as a married couple! So fun!! I will be posting some pictures soon because we now have the internet on our camera. Unfortunately, my dear sweet husband isn't in any of them because he was running the camera. A lame excues by my standards, but whatever! So, I got a saddle for Christmas and it is wonderful, fits, and is my very own!!! Mac is so good to me. Unfortunately he's really hard to shop for but I got him a duck hunter game that I thought was pretty cool, but it was broken so we sent it back. Then my oldest brother, Jeremy and his wife, Nikki, and daughter, Kyla, came over and somehow I got stuck putting together her toy kitchen. I thought that was the dad's job? Oh well, it was fun and she loved it! We had our traditional Belgian waffles for breakfast and just enjoyed the day off. Mac and I tested out my saddle and he was a little jealous but he's slowly starting to get over it.<br />Our first semester at the U of M went really well. No failed classes so thats always a plus and now on to the next semester! So far its been pretty good. None of my classes are too hard its just a matter of keeping my eyes open for some of them. My favorite class this semester is probably my singing class. I'm doing my emphasis for my major in music so I have to have so many credits in music. It's really fun, pretty much all we do is sing and basically have a voice lesson three times a week. It's a good stress reliever for me.<br />Work is going good. Luanne, my boss, isn't real excited about me leaving. Not that she's mad about it she just isn't looking forward to finding some summer help. I on the other hand am ready to leave for Alaska tomorrow if I could! It will be so nice to only have to work and not have to worry about school or anything else! I'll actually get to sleep in on occasion which will be glorious!!! And Mac and I will get to hang out and fish everyday (well, probably not everyday, but just the fact that we could is exciting!). Well, that's all I can think of thats new for now. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up in the not too distant future!mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-11912668761860612322009-12-07T11:43:00.002-07:002009-12-07T12:00:43.852-07:00So very, very behind!!!So, it has been months since we last posted anything on our blog so I thought I would update you all on everything that has been going on in our crazy lives!!<br /><br />Alaska was a blast, since the last pictures that were on here, we had Mac's parents, Tim and Sandra, and his Aunt Cindy, Uncle Dave, Callie and Brayden come up for a week. It was tons of fun and we caught lots of fish. However, this week was virtually what ended our blog posting. While we were fishing, starting at low tide, we forgot that the bag with our camera and some snacks were down the way on the beach (we had moved down cuz there were more fish jumpint). Anyway, Mac looks over and sees our bag and our wonderful camera on the brink of floating out to sea. So Sandra ran and grabbed it but unfortunately the camera was fried. So, until we get a new camera our blog will be without pictures. =-(<br /><br />So, now we are back home in Montana and loving it! Accept for the fact that we don't see each other like we did in Alaska. We would seriously be with each other 24/7 in Alaska and now we don't see each other nearly as much as we would like, but such is life I guess. Going to school and working is a little crazy at times and Mac is still looking for a job. Its amazing how many applications you can put in and just because you put that you are unavailable to work on Sunday, they won't hire you! I think Mac has put in upwards of 20 applications and not one has even called him back. It kinda stinks cuz we're just living off our paycheck but thank goodness for blessings and our money stretching far beyond.<br /><br />So, as far as school goes its pretty good. I'm going in to Elementary Education and only have 2 years left! Yeah!!!! And I get to apply to the school of education in February, wish me luck! Now Mac on the other hand was originally going into business. He and his buddy from high school Devin had several classes together and were loving it. Even if they didn't pay much attention. ;-) Anyways, just a couple months ago he decided that he wants to switch his major to secondary education and teach high school history and government! So, that was a shocker since he had never even really thought about teaching but I think he'll be really good at it. I actually think he would make a good college professor because then you can just teach and not have to worry about all the input of the students. But he wants to be done with school as soon as possible so thats out of the question, atleast for now. It will be nice though when we're both teaching because we'll have the same vacations, summers off, and we'll be home at the same time as the other and our kids!<br /><br />Speaking of kids................=-) Just kidding. I want to have a baby SO bad but I also want to finish my degree, AND we're broke. Both of us really want one though. But we're holding out for a few years, atleast until I finish my degree. So, sad day for baby hungry me, but it will come around quick. I hope! =-)<br /><br />Mac and I are as happy as ever and loving married life. We are especially looking forward to going back to Alaska this summer. Unfortunately without the road trip but it will still be great. Mel and Sharon, our bosses, are really good to us up there. And we get to fish all the time and basically have a second honeymoon!!<br /><br />Anyways, I think we're all caught up now. I promise I'll try to do better at posting, I'll shoot for once a month rather than once every 5 months!!! ;-)mac and jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16000665715648899678noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679985111064934543.post-72242355698557504692009-07-01T03:24:00.020-06:002009-07-05T02:04:14.729-06:00Trip to Alaska and fishing.<div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#660000;">So, we came up to Alaska for the summer and pretty much all we do is work and fish!
