Oh How Fast Life Changes and Family

This week I found out that my family is having a reunion for my great grandma and grandpa Torgersen. They have a website and I found that a lot of my family have blogs. So I looked at them and they all have kids now and they are all grown up. I am sure that they will all be surprised at my blog as well to see that I am married and have a baby. Time flies so fast and life changes a lot. That is why we need to enjoy the time that we have with each other. I feel so blessed because I knew all of my great grandparents and I know my second and third cousins really well. I know great aunts and uncles and I am really close with them. In this life and the next all we have is family. So we need to enjoy the time we have and not take it for granted. Being away from my family makes me realize just how lucky I am when I am with them, and to have a great husband and son. I love them, and wouldn't want my life any other way.

I am so glad you commented on my blog. It is so good to hear from you and see your beautiful little family. I seriously cannot believe that you have grown up so much! Married with a baby! Do you just eat his cheeks everyday? I love how our family changes and seeing you again makes me remember all the fun times at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Koosharem. I am so happy for you and all the wonderfully amazing things that you are doing right now in your life. You look so happy! We hope to see you at the reunion. It will be so much fun to catch up and meet your new family. We love you! Love, Lindy; February 19, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Cole and Kimala said...: Oh my how things change. It was just yesterday when we had FHE and we would all get together. Do you remember that. You were just a little girl. That was probably before half of your family was even born.
Looks like you've got the hang of this mothering bit. Isn't it fun. I still can't believe that you have a baby. I am old!!!
I will keep checking in on your life, so keep posting!!; February 19, 2009 at 11:54 AM

Our Story

This is the blog of Benjamin, Stephanie, Braeden and Emerson Busey. Ben and I got married November 30, 2007 in the Manti Temple. It was a beautifully cold day, but so memorable. Two months later we found out we were having a baby. Braeden Todd was born November 8, 2008. He is the joy of our lives, he is wild, and growing too fast. I am a stay at home mom with a craft business and I am starting a photography business and loving every minute of it. Things are definitely busy. Ben is serving our country in the U.S. Air Force as a nurse. We are living in San Antonio, Texas right now. It is a different world down here. Gotta be careful in everything you do. We are leaning to stick together more, and literally have Heavenly Father guide us to where we need to be each day. We are loving being together and seeing what life brings us. We found out we were pregnant August 2010 but lost out lost our second baby due to miscarriage September 27, 2010 while I was 9 weeks pregnant. We love our sweet angel and think of this child often. This traumatic event has made us ever more grateful for families, that they are FOREVER, and that we now have two miracles. Little Emerson was born September 8, 2011. With major complications after delivery we are grateful to be where we are today with our sweet boys. Emerson is such a wonderful addition to our family and we love him so much. He is a chunky sweetheart. October 2012, I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1. This has caused our family to do things a little bit differently. This diagnosis has brought many trials, but also many many blessings, and helped me to rely on my Heavenly Father each day so He can help carry my burdens!
