The Busey Family: Car Troubles, Snake, and Braeden

Car Troubles, Snake, and Braeden

For the last month and a half we have had car troubles. We have been to the shop and they lied to us and told us that they would fix it, but they didn't. So Ben and I have taken matters into our own hands. We got the manual to our car and we have changed the brakes and the spark plugs. It seems that yesterday we got to the bottom of the problem. We will see.

Yesterday Ben had a day off so we went to car shops looking to get our car fixes and then we went for a drive up in North Colorado near the Platt River. It was a beautiful drive. We got out and went for a little walk. After that we went to a Mexican Restaurant and ate some really good food. Ben had been craving it for a while so I let him get it. When we got home Ben was working on the car and Braed and I just sat outside and loved the weather. It was a great night! After Braeden went to bed, Ben and I played each other in 007 on the Nintendo 64. We got this N64 off of Craigslist for super cheap and we have loved playing it.

They are very reasonable and they guarantee their labor for 60 days...which is very comforting!! I hate paying for something and then not getting what you paid for!! What a bummer!; July 10, 2009 at 9:34 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!
