Some random pictures

Sorry it took so long to do another post. Here are some random pictures from Easter!

Kimball brought his fancy gas powered remote control car to our easter dinner. It was pretty entertaining until Justin ran it right into a pole and broke the wheel!

I think William took the easter egg hunt the most serious :) He was a kid on a mission.

HA HA this was a sample of what was on the grass before everyone showed up. Dad was nice enough to scoop it all up before the boys showed up.

Saturday Night Fun

Last night Julie and I were bored, so we decided we would go make use of the Christmas present Jorgen gave us for the first time and go play tennis at Mt. View High School. Unfortunately the lights were not working so it was really hard to see anything, let alone a small tennis ball. We decided to try it, but we quit after the first serve sent the ball flying over the fence. I wont mention who it was that hit the ball so well :) But Julie was determined to not go home with out having some fun, so we decided to go to Bum Beach at Utah Lake and hit rocks into the lake with our tennis rackets. That was a lot of fun. It felt like we were back in High School. It was a good opportunity to reminisce on some old memories of fun stuff we used to do together. As we started to get cold and bored of hitting small rocks into the water, we started hitting rocks at each other! Ha ha ha, that was fun too. But when a rock I hit missed her and hit the metal railing behind her making a really loud bang, we decided we better stop before someone got hurt :) This experience reminded me why we got along so well and for so long growing up together. I love how we can have fun doing just about anything together. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures last night, but I do have one of when we went to the DEW tour in salt lake city last year.

A word from Julie!

So... the other day I was trying to figure out what exactly to do with some spare time I had and Dave told me that I needed to work on updating my blog. I simply stated "I don't have a blog!" He just looked at me sideways with that "oh please" look on his face and recited all the information to me so that I could sign in and create a post. So... here I am. I'm not even sure I'm doing this right so we will see how it goes!

So, something that I haven't quite figured out is why before we got married, time never seemed to be going fast enough and now it is flying by quicker than ever. I guess that just means that we have a lot going on right now - which it true. Life is pretty much same old-same old since our lives consist of work and school each day. But, for me, there is always my calling in nursery on Sundays that break up the monotony! Busiest, and craziest two hours of my week.

So, for the past while I have been teasing David about cutting my hair really short. He has never really been a fan of short hair on girls so whenever I see a girl that has a somewhat decent "short" haircut, I ask for his opinion. He would always crinkle his nose in disgust and say that short hair should be only be allowed for guys. Well, this last Saturday I told Dave that I was going to get my hair cut by my little sister. There was some discussion as to what I should do with my hair, and I reminded Dave how short I had my hair before he left on his mission by showing him a picture. He admitted that he did like it on me that short... and that was all the permission I needed!! I cut off about 8 inches and short of getting used to using less shampoo, I am loving it. You will have to ask David what he thinks... It is hard for me to tell if he likes it, or is just putting on a face, ha ha!

Anyway... that is it for my first post! Until next time, I hope all our biggest fans are doing well! We love you all.

Yesterday we went to the temple on our monthly temple trip with David's side of the family. That has been really nice to have it planned as a group to give us more motivation to go. I think it gets too easy when it's just one couple going to become unmotivated and procrastinate temple attendance. Julie's family has caught on to this and they now plan every month to go aswell. So we get double the motivation every month! Its great though I have enjoyed it. We have been going to the 7:30 AM session at the timpanogos temple. This last time I found myself nodding off a few times. Then I was woken up by a temple worker who whispered to me "Just tell your wife you were praying really hard", I looked over to see Julie and Tori both laughing because not only me, but Jorgen and Dad had dozed off aswell! Go Jensen boys. Don't we get credit for effort though?!

After the glitter and lights...

So things are finally starting to calm down around here for Julie and I. We have gotten settled into our daily routines. Sadly, we hardly get to see much of each other any more. Today we got to substitute teach the 5 year old's in primary! That was so much fun. It was really cute to see how quickly they opened up to Julie and I. We taught them about following the commandments and how they are like a map to guide us back to our heavenly father, then we had a treasure hunt with clues which were like the commandments which guided them to the treasure (CTR rings and a picture of Christ). They had some really funny comments too. The lady in sharing time was talking about families being together forever and a kid behind us raised his hand and said, "Yeah, but they wont REALLY be together forever" and we would ask the kids questions like what their last name is and they would chime in, I'm 5! Totally random cute stuff. We both got callings today too. Julie was called into to the nursery and I was called as a ward missionary. Should be kinda fun.

Here are some fun pictures from a little while ago:

William's "Jealous" moment!

Julie and I at an Orem Owls baseball game.

Oh yeah I forgot one thing... Kimball and Lora bought the first two seasons of the TV series LOST. I rolled my eyes when I was invited to watch it cause I thought it was going to be really dumb, but now im addicted! We went over there friday night and watched about 6 hours straight, then again on Saturday night. Its like one long movie that never ends!

A new family, a new blog

Hello everyone! As most of you know Julie and I just got married on December 31, 2008. It was the most perfect day, blue sky, some white clouds, and snow on the ground. I loved it. Here are some samples that our photographer sent us.

We had a great turn out both to the wedding/luncheon and to the reception. Julie and I went to Disneyland for our honeymoon. That was lots of fun, except for the long lines and being cold parts. The Hollywood Tower was deffinetly a favorite of ours. While we were gone our families were so nice and did a lot of work on our appartment for us to get it live-able for when we got back. We had done lots of improvements all in all so its looking wonderful now. It was a lot of fun to have Chris and Jeanette here for a couple days, so thank you to their families for letting us steal them.

Our reception yesterday was great. We had it at Julie's Aunt's reception center. They still had all the fancy Christmas decorations up, so it looked really nice and elegant. Mom (Doris) made the wedding cake which turned out wonderful. Poor Preston chocked on a piece of candy and had to go to the hospital. At the end everyone received sparklers for the magical send off. They stood outside in the snow with lit sparklers along the walkway and cheered as we walked to my car, which was decorated by Austin and I think a few of Kimball's kids the day of the wedding.
Julie and I are now back starting our day to day stuff. We were talking a little bit ago and both agree that it doesnt really feel a whole lot different yet. With our school and work schedules we will hardley get to see each other except on weekends, so not a whole lot has changed in that regard. But its great when we do get to see eachother.
