Our engagement photos are finally posted!! YES! Here is the link... http://www.bradleyjensen.com/pickpic/gallery/splash.php?gallery_id=82
The password is 'ross'. You can order pictures from the link if you would like, I think. :) Ken and I will probably be purchasing the High-Res photos on a CD so we can make our own prints and have them on the computer. Brad signs rights away or whatever the legality of it all is, so we can make as many prints as we want. Its kinda pricey but worth it. So if you do want a print we can probably print them for you too.
We will be using them for wedding stationary (invites, thank you notes, etc) so you will see more of them :) I am so glad Brad will be doing our wedding also. He is so fun and so comfortable to be around. It should be great.
Not much is new here. I am very excited to go home this weekend. We will be stopping in DM to see Krista on Friday. We may even get to see Obama since he will be in town. We don't have a ton planned while we are in town. The main thing is Thanksgiving at the Gleason's. We have to leave by 2:00 at the latest because we have pre-marital counseling that night. I love pre-marital counseling. :)
I have gotten a jump start on Christmas shopping. I am not buying as many gifts as I usually do. Just my parents, brother and Ken. I am going to make Christmas candy for our friends (mostly fudge and toffee).
Time for bed :)

La-di-da
Ken and I had so much fun taking our photos! Brad is so great at what he does and just told us to have fun. I can't wait to see them. I will post the link, hopefully they will be posted on Monday!\
Well, I guess that's it. I better get to my online training at work. Boo!
I hope all is well with everyone.
Love, El

7 MONTHS!!!
Hello All!
I can't believe October is half over! The months seem to be flying by. As I said before, Ken and I have our engagement photos tomorrow. I went to get a pedicure and my nails done last night. It is so hard to type with these acrylics on. They look really nice and the pedicure was amazing. Ken and I are having 3 outfits for our photos which should be posted on Brad's website in about 10 days.
Last night Ken and I went to the movie Fireproof. It is a low budget, Christian film that made it to the big screen. The only professional actor in the film is Kirk Cameron. Our friends urged us to go because it is about saving a marriage. Kirk Cameron plays Caleb, a fire chief who spends more time at work and surfing the net, than with his wife. He shows her little love and in return she gives him little respect. The marriage is at the point of divorce when Caleb's father convinces him to do a 40 day 'Love Dare" to try to save the marriage. Caleb isn't thrilled about it but decides to give it a shot. I won't give away the movie but it definitely can change the way you think and really makes you think about how you treat you significant other. I absolutely recommend it to any married/engaged couple. It was heartwarming, entertaining and well done. Go see it!! :)
Yesterday I found a hotel to block rooms at for our guests. I will be visiting the Doubletree hotel in downtown Omaha on November 7th. After that date you will be able to call and reserve your room, if everything goes well. I chose this hotel because it is close to Sokol and easy to go back and forth from. It is a very nice hotel and they gave me comparable rates to other hotels that are not nearly as nice. They will be charging $109.00/night.

Ken and I will be visiting Iowa in two weeks. We will be leaving Friday, October 31st and will be staying until Sunday, November 2nd. My Grandma Jo will be having Thanksgiving. I haven't seen my family members since CHRISTMAS of last year. It will be so wonderful to see them all and meet Baby Isaac! I recieved his birth announcement a few days ago and he is so cute! :) I can't wait!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Go see Fireproof if you don't have other plans. I am sure you will like it!

Weekend fun
Happy Monday!! :) I have to work Sunday-Friday this week because my coworker is on vacation. Six day weeks are no fun.
This past weekend was so great! Friday I took Ken to get his windows retinted, as they scratched because they man wouldn't listen to me. I told him that the '06 Mustangs don't have a frame around the window and I was told to have them put a moleskin on to prevent scratching. The man told me it was very rare for it to scratch so he wasn't going to do it. Well, it scratched and he had to redo it. For free.
When I was taking Ken to the tint shop his friend called and invited us to the National Safety Council's annual Soiree. I was hesitant because we had to meet with our pastor Bo and our marriage mentors Regina and Dennis at 5 and the soiree was at 6:30. After much persuasion from Ken I agreed.
Our meeting with Regina, Dennis and Bo went great (it was so nice to see Bo)! We decided to meet with them every other Sunday at their house for dinner. We feel so blessed to have them in our lives!
We got to the soiree (which was extremely formal, I love getting all dolled up) and found there to be an open, unlimited bar (yay for wine!) and our meal was $150/plate! It was free for us though, because Ryan's company sponsored our table. The food was soo great and the entertainment was Eddie Money. I hadn't ever heard of him (my dad was appalled to hear that) but it was so fun dancing to 80's tunes I hadn't heard before and just having a good time!
Saturday was a boring day. Ken's friend Marc was in town so he went to see him. I took Neeko to the dog park with my friend Janice and her dog Howie. They had so much fun. The dog park is Neeko's favorite place to go! After, we met Ken at my place to watch the Husker game. I fell asleep before it ended but I heard I didn't miss much.
I worked Sunday (boo!) and then Ken and I went to Regina and Dennis' house. They made us a very nice dinner and we got going on our marriage counseling/mentoring. Ken and I are already going through a book together and we will start another one with them in two weeks. I ordered them on Amazon. The book is simply titled Preparing for Marriage. Marriage counseling or mentoring is so important. It makes couples talk about things that either they wouldn't care to talk about or simply gives them a different perspective on topics they have already discussed. People take marriage too lightly these days and we definitely want to prepare ourselves for a lifelong commitment. I don't know how couples could skip pre-marital counseling. Plus, we will make a lifelong connection with our mentors!! :)
Grandma and Nate come on Tuesday and I can't wait!!!!
Anyways, this entry is probably full of typos but I must get back to work!
Love,
Ken's future wife
