Mrs. Headley(;

Yes, you read that right. I am officially Mrs. Jessica Andrea Headley. I recently changed my name to have Reece's last name. I admit that I am a little sad about not being Jessica Borja, but no matter what, I'm always going to be a Borja. 

Part of our drive to/from work(:
Other News: I didn't make Staff this year, sadly. I missed it by 6.97 points. Ohhwell. I'm definitely going to try to make it next year. We're both going to try and make it next year (fingers crossed). 

It's starting to get pretty dark at night. I feel like it's been forever since I've seen the moon and had to drive in the dark. Feels a little weird. I also started swing shift today. I'm happy to be about that swing shift life again. Especially since hunny bear is on swings. It's nice that we'll be able to actually spend more time together. 

Sarg & his new bed(:

Looking for Bears & Moose!

Weirdo sitting on the stairs. 
We tried taking Sarg to PetSmart last week to get a Furminator Bath. In hindsight, we should've known we were signing him up for too much. But that didn't cross our minds. We wanted to get his teeth cleaned, nails rounded, and get a bath to help with his shedding. Normally, Sarg does good if we had him off to strangers by giving them his leash. We ended up getting called back after one hour because someone decided to run away from the lady and try to get her whenever she tried to get ahold of his leash. He was stressing out so bad that he got a little bald spot behind his ears from all his shedding that day. We ended up just buying the Furminator conditioner and giving him a bath at home (if you have dogs who shed pretty bad, I highly recommend the Furminator conditioner!). I'm actually glad we ended up giving him a bath at home because 1. it saved us about $60 and 2. we ended up finding a small lump in his tail (right at the base of his tail, near his bottom). I'm not too worried about it right now, mainly because it's a small lump. But we are going to get it checked out soon just to be safe. I'll be sure to update y'all on that once we know.

Other than that, the boys are doing good. Loki seems happier here than he did back in the apartment in Las Vegas. We think it might be the amount of room he has to run around here. Sarg also seems happier. We can actually take him out more often and not worry about his paws burning or that he might get dehydrated or something. We've been taking him to this place called University Lake when we can. I wish we would've found it sooner, so we could've taken him a little more before it got too cold. We tried to get him in the water but he won't go swimming....yet. The farthest he went in was up to his elbows (if that's what they're called). Maybe next summer. 

Going to University Lake!

He didn't want proof that he was watching Teen Mom with me =P
So far, Alaska isn't a bad place. Though we don't feel it is where we want to settle at when we're finally done with this military life. It feels like you're set apart from everyone and just a bit too far for us with our family being in the lower 48. Plus shipping sucks with some sites if you're online shopping =P 

I think this is where I'm gonna end this for now...Until next time(:

This time last year..

WARNING: This is a long post. I meant to share this last year but never got around to it. So here it is now. My story on when I got sick last year. Probably the scariest time of my life... September 28, 2017- I woke up thinking I was starting to get sick. Ugh. Who likes being sick? It was kind of hard to breathe, I felt sluggish and thought I was starting to get a fever. It was Thursday and also the last day of the training class I was in for work. I got up and got ready to try to survive the day. I wasn't going to let a cold stop me. For the last day, we spent the morning just going over one of the loading systems we use and then after lunch we were going to end the class with a class evaluation. Being a seasoned AMMO troop, I stood off to the side so the younger, newer members could get more hands on training. Half-way through the morning, I started to feel a weird sensation in my left arm. It also was harder to breathe than it was when I first woke up. Noticing this, I start

5 Months

Soon Joey will will be 6 months old. That's half a year. My only question is, HOW?!  Weight  12 lbs. 3 oz. Length Unsure once again Clothes Size 3-6 month (finally moving on up!) Hair Slowly but surely growing. Hair on the back is shorter and he has a bald spot. Hair color is light brown Eyes to my amazement, his eyes are still a beautiful blue Sleeping Been taking little longer naps lately and sleeps a good minimum of 5-6 hours a night.  Eating Now on Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula). Still has the feeding tube. His goal is to eat a minimum of 110 mLs every 3 hours. What he doesn't eat on his own, we feed him through the tube. At night, since he seems to be extra sleepy, we do a continuous feed so we don't have to bother him. This month Starting to tolerate tummy time. He loves his piano mat!  We've been able to keep gloves off him so he's been really catching up-using his hands more, playing with his feet, reach

Half Birthday(:

As I write this, Joey's just sitting in his bouncer, talking excitedly and watching our dog Sarg. I cannot believe that my little stallion turned 6 months about 13 days ago. Where has time gone?!

Any who(: Weight  14 lbs 11 oz Length 25.2 in Clothes Size Some 3-6 and 6 months.  Hair Coming in nicely. Finally has been growing hair in his little old man hairline. Still brown.
