October 28th, 2009



So I have been reading some of my friends blogs on here and they were really neat to be able to see what is going on and everything with their lives. We live apart from our families and SO I was thinking that this would be a great option to document our times and be able to have our families read up on what has been happening with us. We have our golden retriever Maggie May who is almost 7 months. We enjoy our lives and looking forward to seeing the future blessings to come. Here is little Amelia Jean Swenson.

Living in Corvallis is fun but I really miss the coast. We live in a sensible two bedroom apartment and have for about 1.5 years. John and I have been married for about 2.5 years now and its just as wonderful as we started out. We have a wonderful church here and enjoy our tuesday night bible studies with other couples. Corvallis is beautiful in the fall and the leaves are absolutley gorgeous!

John
John has been busy with soccer and school.. The Ford scholorship really makes life easy for us these days. He works so hard. He is getting his BA in Health and Human Sciences with the pre physical therapy option. He is in his second year at OSU and is starting on the mens soccer team. Balancing life, school, soccer, and family has shown to be a bit of a challenge, but he is adjusting and getting more atune to it everyday.

Well I am still going to school through the University of Phoenix Axia Online college, and am almost finished with my second year. I am working towards my BA in healthcare administration. I figure its a safe area to go into these days. I love staying home with my daughter, KaiLey Jo, and I do run a small day care from my home. We are expecting our second daughter in March 2010 so we are over joyed to be able to give KaiLey Jo a sister. I walk about 2.5 to 3 miles everyday and so far have only gained 1 pound with the pregnancy and I am half way there! With KaiLey I was almost breaking thirty.. so things are going well so far!

KaiLey Jo
Welp KaiLey Jo is one smart cookie, =) she really is starting to expand her vocabulary and show us this personality that growns by miles everyday. She has begun to mimc more and pretend play. Today we pretended there were sharks and we couldnt get off the couch, she was very into that and enjoys playing with her parents. She is in to minnie mouse right now, but it doesn't come close to Caillou, Dragon Tales, or Berenstein Bears. She loves to read books and play with her monkey "ooh ooh". Right now she likes to put her toys on timeouts for whinning.. it is hilarious. She loves playing at the parks and going to her grandparents homes. She is going to be two here on Nov 8th, so we are going to be having a birthday party for her on halloween. I am hoping it doesn't rain!
