Things the World Thought Would Never Happen....

Life has been great the past couple of months. We have hit some big milestones and learned of some unexpected news. We are just enjoying life and waiting for the news of where we will be going next in life. But in the mean time here are the highlights from our last few months!

YAY!!!! Now Kenny is a college graduate... He says a lot of people go to college for seven years.... We're just glad he's finally done with his undergraduate degree and actually has goals for the future in mind. He has finally finished all of his Dental School apps and we are just waiting to hear back about interviews. We could be moving to Ohio or Nebraska or just to Denver, but we have to see... For now Kenny is working at First Bank and teaching part time for Kaplan (the test prep company teaching DAT classes). Below are some pictues of the big evening. I couldn't be more proud of him!

After graduation with Kenny working in Longmont and me working in Fort Collins, we thought we would find some middle ground so we have moved to Evans, CO... It's just south of Greeley. Not exactly the place we were looking to go, however we really couldn't find another place to rent and we fell in love with this place, even if means me commuting... Plus it is super cute and NOT college housing!!!Seeing how we havent mentioned our pups lately we thought we would give them a shout out and a pic in the blog.... Arent they getting so big? Plus at her last visit to the vet Lily was over weight so we have had to keep her eating habits in check... But you'd be proud to know we are amazing dog owners according to the vet.... Excluding Triggers behavioral issues... He is alot like Kenny. Now to the most exciting, life changing, unexpected, and frightening thought of all.... We are going to be parents.... and couldn't be happier! We found out earlier this month that we will be having a little GIRL, and I have about driven Kenny nuts with all the things I want to buy for our Little Miss. Kenny was sure it was a girl from the beginning, but coming from a family of all girls my whole family was rooting for a boy. The ultra sound tech says she has chubby cheeks (which I'm told Kenny was a pretty chubby kiddo) but I wasn't all that slim either, so we may just have a chunk... But time will tell. Kenny joked that we dont have to count the toes on her right foot since you can count all 5 in the ultrasound picture. After 2 ultrasounds we got a profile picture (somewhat) but all in all they say the baby is healthy and doing great and we couldn't be more excited. C'mon December! I just can't wait to pinch, and kiss those chubby cheeks! For a few requests since i refuse to put belly bump pictures on facebook here ya go... P.S. I finally popped at 22 weeks.

A Long Over Due Update

Its crazy how time flies, it feels just like yesterday when we moved in to our new place and now our lease is almost up. We guess its time we finally shared our happenings since last year. First off we celebrated our one year anniversary on a cruise to the Bahamas.......


This is Kenny's postcard picture of the Carnival Destiny (Kenny is very proud of this picture). It was a much needed vacation. We got to spend 5 glorious days out on the beach and in the sun. We gourged ourselves on food and then topped it off with more free food... (since the food is one of the only free commotities on the ship we got our money's worth... well at least Kenny did) Then there were the great adventures we got to have. We chose three excursions, the one I picked was swimming with dolphins because it was on my bucket list. Kenny picked scuba diving and we both decided to feed and play with the stingrays. Below is a picture of us as were were pulling out of port in Miami with the cityscape in the background. And the Next one is us at the enterance to Half Moon Cay; Carnival's private Island. This is where we snorkled with the stingrays, and then spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around and indulging ourselfs on white beaches made with sand from the seashores of heaven... It was seriously so soft it was ridiculous... I dont know how else to describe it... We considered skipping the boat and staying there.

Our next adventure landed us at the Atlantis Resort. It was so beautiful, and way fun. You could make an entire vacation out of just the resort. We were sad we only got to spend one day there, but we plan on going back and spending some more time playing and seeing the shows, and having fun there. The picture is of the main hotel for the resort.... The bridge across the two towers is the Michael Jackson suite and runs 25,000 per night... Guess that wont be our room on our return trip...

The resort is amazing with aquariums and swimming pools and waterslides ... Just pack a lunch because that was the worst 10 dollar cheeseburger I have ever eaten. But besides all that we got to go and swim with and play with dolphins. We sure enjoyed the experience. However I think Kenny enjoyed it more with that big fat kiss he laid on that dolphin. For the record I faked the kiss and told Kenny that that is what most people do... They dont actually KISS the dolphin... Ha Ha

Coming back to our boring jobs and school was really hard, I really think we would make fantastic beach bums... But responsibility got the better of us and we returned to good 'ol Fort Collins Colorado. The rest of June was filled with work and settling into the new house... Kenny had a golf class but that doesnt count for anything. Summer flew by and was filled with mostly work and the occasional fun weekend.

Some of our Fall and Winter highlights were:

Kenny Started his Senior year of college

We were made the CTR 4 teachers in our Ward's Primary

Kenny made a life changing decision...

and Andrea got a raise at work

As the year rounded to a close we found ourselves in Blackhawk for my work Christmas Party. We were happy to get a weekend away on the bank's dollar. Seeing how we were so busy with school and work it was a nice weekend. After going 24 years without ever winning a raffle or drawing between the two of us we cashed in all our luck and won 3 prizes, one of which was the grand prize. We enjoyed the dinner and the evening. It was a great start to the holiday.

On the home front we still have our two continuously mischevious dogs and their antics to deal with. Trigger is a jumper and has way too much energy, and Lily is stubborn and thinks she is the queen bee around here. She definately is a burrower, and loves to be wrapped up in blankets as is seen by the picture below. However, when a blanket wasnt available, the sleeve of my coat made an acceptable substitue until she got stuck and couldnt move. The funny thing is she liked it, and didnt even make a sound. Kenny practically collapsed he was laughing so hard when he found her, but if he hadn't found her who knows how long she would have stayed there? They're crazy but we love them anyways.

To explain Kenny's life changing decision, if you haven't heard he has decided to go to dental school. The past months he has been studying for the Dental Admissions Test and after this past weekend we are pretty sure that dental school will be in our near future!!!

This is excited Kenny holding up his score sheet after he took the test and the score he is pointing at on the bottom picture is his Academic Average, which as you can see he scored in the 93rd percentile. Which aparently means he did really well... I am really proud of him!!

This about wraps up the highlights of our last year. Now we are just looking forward to Kenny graduating on May 13th (by the way you are all invited). We are excited to see what the future holds, and where dental school will take us.

In with the New, Out with the Old

As we reach a full year of marriage, we have seen alot of changes in the past few weeks and our lives have been blessed greatly. Like our jobs, a few weeks ago I got a great job offer to work for another bank, and it was something I couldn't pass up. As for Kenny, he happily quit the paper boy gig and got himself a job working for the University doing lab research. We are both quite content with our new jobs. Also, seeing how our one year lease was coming to an end we decieded to move to Fort Collins. We no longer live in an apartment, but a duplex with a yard. Seems like we are moving up in the world!!!! :)

Our OLD Apartment

The New Duplex

Adventures of Family Pictures

After almost a year and no pictures of the Mr. & Mrs. Kenny Seaver, My mom talked us into "Family Pictures". Before getting married we took lots of pictures of us.... now we just take pictures of our dogs LOL. So we wanted to share our newest family picture.

With all the picture taking, Kenny & Nathan got restless. As everyone knows Kenny likes to entertain, and with Nathan around the craziness gets amplified. So the boys decided that they wanted to take special pictures for Granny P. I'm sure she will just love them and get quite a laugh. After seeing the pictures I'm sure you can laugh along with the rest of the people at the studio.

Puppy Trouble

We decided that life was too easy and too soon for kids so we thought we would try our hand at house breaking a puppy. (Poor Choice its way more work than it seems.....but well worth the fun) In October, Lily came into our lives. A tiny cute mischievous little creature which now rules our home from the ankles down. She is quite the spoiled thing and she has been alot of fun and we have enjoyed our adventures with her so far. To explain the pictures..........

Lily-right after we got her! :D

As you can see in the next picture this little lady has Kenny wrapped around her finger.............

The next 2 picture was necessitated because Kenny and I decided to do a puzzle on our "Sick Day" but Lily decided to chew up one of the pieces so we made sure she got credit for her work. Since she lacks the power of the thumb we decided a stamp would work better than an autograph


Seeing how we were first time dog owners we decided to enroll in puppy class, it helped us alot!!!! Were hoping for the same sort of class for parenthood. Here is Lily and Kenny at Puppy Graduation.

Seeing how we have enjoyed our adventure with our very first puppy..... we some how ended up with a second puppy a few weeks ago. With no real intentions for getting a second dog, Trigger is now a part of our lives. We rescued him from a shelter, he's a mix between mini dauchsund and something ????. He's also quite the howler, which doesn't help with a restful night sleep. Tigger and Lily have become the best of friends, this was the primary persuasion for getting him plus........

Trigger-how could you not fall in love with this???

Fresh and clean after a puppy bath.

We now see who really runs this house!!!!

*Lily & Trigger*

As you can see these two are quite the handful at times, but we are enjoying every minute with them!!!!

May the Blogging Begin.......

So we have finally decided to jump aboard the blogging train. A lot has happened since we got married almost a year ago (kinda weird to think its almost been a year). So to give you the latest on our lives..... I'm still working for the bank, but finally got my transfer to Fort Collins at the beginning of the year. Its nice not spending hours in a car before or after work. As for Kenny he finally up and quit Sears in October and started doing a paper route with Derek the start of December. He is still doing the dance classes on the side. As for school I'm only taking two online classes and Kenny is some how managing to take 16 credit hours. Of those credits, 2 of them are for a Research project working with Tuberculosis. If the research yields what they hope for it may actually get published which will look good on a resume ;) . As you can see our time is pretty well consumed between school, work, and other obligations. Life has been crazy, but we are still plugging along.
