Taylorsville Dayzz

So Friday is our designated date night, and this Friday we decided to go to a carnival! It kinda turned out to be a double date and it was SO FUN!

The sunset...This photo was not edited at all. It was BEAUTIFUL

WII and a better side of the dog

Hey all, this is my first time blogging so I hope I don't do too bad of a job. The newest addition to our home (besides our little poop factory, aka dog) is a new toy!! That's right, my lovely wife bought me a wii. Unfortunately I haven't had very much time to play it. Work has been kind of crazy, in fact I wasn't home much this weekend. That is probably a good thing right? Don't want to rot my brain in front of the idiot box for too long. I'll spare the pictures of me playing because I'm sure there are a lot better things to look at than a picture of me playing video games. Besides, my mother has seen me do that my whole young life. We will however post a cuter pic of Rupert. This makes him look more like a cute dog and less like a rat! One thing we love about him is that he always has one ear pointing straight up and the other is flopped over. I'll post more when there is something actually worth posting, anyway, KEEP IT REAL!!!

1 Year!!

Tomorrow is an anniversary for a couple of things actually!

1 Year since Wes took me ring shopping :)... WOOT!!!!


1 Year since I visited Oregon for the first time!



1 Year since I started my birthmothers blog!













All of these things have turned out to fantastic for me! 2 led to a Husband who is AMAZING!!! 1 led to a passion that has been therapeutic and awesome all at the same time. I have met lots of new people. Gotten an awesome new family. And overcome a lot of challenges! Thanks to all my awesome family and friends who made this possible!!

Our Ghetto Apartment...and some more wedding pics

So my mom was helping my little brother Richie do his homework. He was learning about how Jews use to live in Ghettos. My mom explained that a ghetto was a poor living area. Richard then responded, "Oh like where Jessa lives." So apparently Wes and I live in the ghetto and Richard needs some more education on third world countries.

Here are some pics from our photographer Shauna Heap! she is fantastic!!

Wes and his "Dog Training Technique"

Sir Rupert is an amazing dog...when he isn't being exceptionally naughty. ...

He lays in your lap, He cuddles, He usually stays by you, and he doesn't beg for food.

However, you take him on a walk or let him roam the house too much and all hell breaks loose!

We took him to the park today (with our new picnic set--thanks Jadie) and we are sitting enjoying our lunch. We decide to let Rupert go chase some birds. About two seconds later he is walking over to some couple making out and he starts barking. This dog NEVER barks except every once in while he decides there is someone he doesn't like. Wes had to chase him down.

Then we got home and Wes was very upset about this event. So Wes took an empty pop can and put some coins in and duct tape on top. A little later we caught Rupert chewing on a pen. Wes chucks the can right in front of the dogs face and scares the CRAP out him. Rupert dashes into the kitchen to hide.

I am not sure how effective this will be but Wes swears by it. I wonder if that works with kids too! HA!

Here are some pics of the "training tool."

Pics Travis took for us!

Our cool new blog!

So we absolutely had to be cool and get a "married blog" like everyone else! So here we start another fun blogging journey! Woot!

First thing is first: WE ARE MARRIED!! YAY!!! But you probably already know that




Also we couldn't resist from a honeymoon baby! No not a real baby (sorry for the heart attack mom) but the cutest, sweetest puppy you have ever laid eyes on! We rescued him. His name is Sir Rupert and he is ADORABLE!!

Wes and I are both just working waiting for school to start. We are having fun going on a lots of walks and cooking with all the cool new appliances we got for our wedding. I have been trying to finish up all the thank you cards to send out. So until you get it in the mail, know that we are very thankful!

Have a great day! Wes and Jessa
