I'd say it's about time...

I know...hope you are all DYING for a wedding blog post but you'll have to wait. I haven't had the chance to go pick up my pics yet and we've been SUPER busy!
So, here is what we Jensen's have been up to!


First are some moments from our annual Young family reunion!

This year's contest was family
logos. This was the idea for
ours (thank you Jodi for
your brilliance) but the shirts didn't
quite get made.

The candy firework centerpieces.


Some of the highlights of that day were...
-Katelyn and I DOMINATED the 3-legged race. We were way ahead of the pack and worked great together.
-The food. Wal-Mart 6 foot sandwiches are delicious!
-Michael the trickster that he is, put a live worm on Jamie's seat and she didn't notice and sat on it! Well close! She sat in front of it so it didn't squish but it was so funny!
-My Uncle Dale and Aunt Judy won a ton of stuff but didn't really want to keep any of it. (All the $ put towards raffle tickets go towards next year's reunion) So, Michael and I came away with some great camping hot dog sticks! Oh and I got a cute hat!


Yesterday Michael and I went to an AWESOME birthday party! It was for Cristina's kids. (Cristina is the one that works with Michael and made all the cheesecakes for our wedding!)
Check out how awesome of a party she throws!

This is him the second we got home...





Stay tuned for a HUGE wedding post coming soon!

This is me trying to be artistic.

So I love taking pictures.
I think it's so fun and I just love pictures period.
However, I'm no pro.
So here's some examples of me tryin!





Can you tell I'm bored?
It's Sunday, Michael is up in Logan playing basketball, I already cleaned the kitchen and started laundry, sprayed the weeds, and cleaned off the porch.
I've also watched a few episodes of One Tree Hill.
However, it's season 2 and I'm not the biggest fan of that season.



Cody's Married!

It has been a crazy week!
First my little sister graduated!
Then, my cousin Cody got married!
And to make things even crazier, I'm next!
Less than a week away now!

Zach on the far right.

Getting ready for the boquet toss.
Look's like my cousin Katie is next!

And the first dance!
Congrats to the happy couple!

This is the story of a dress...

My mom worked SOOOO hard to create my dream dress and I think she did a dang good job!
I'm soooooo happy!

Step #1-The fabric
Step #2-The first cut.
Notice there isn't a step for the pattern.
Well, that's because she just winged it.
(if that's even a word)

Let the hard work begin!

ALMOST THERE!

And now for the finished product.

I know it's hard to see the detail of the dress in these pictures.
She hand-sewed some trim on the veil and all edges of the dress.
I mean, she worked her butt off and it turned out AMAZING!
Hopefully I'll see everyone at the reception so you can see the dress up close and personal!
I'm about ONE WEEK AWAY!!!
I can't even believe it!
