"Love is like a war...

easy to begin, but hard to stop."

This is the bit of wisdom that the fortune cookie held at Jenna and Fredy's rehearsal dinner.


Now, let me rewind:

Six years ago, I was living in Nacogdoches, TX with a wonderful roommate and friend, Jenna. Neither of us were aware that within the next few months we would be meeting our future
spouses. Truth be told, Jenna didn't know even when she met Fredy. Now, I will say, Jenna told me on many occasions, despite my protests, that Fredy had the potential to be a great man. I just was too young and naive to see it through my friend's eyes. It wasn't long after that Jenna moved away to go to Pharmacy school, Jakob moved in to my apartment, and we went on with out lives completely oblivious.

Fast forward now to Summer 2009. Jenna is graduating from Pharmacy school, and calls with news.....she's getting married!! Fredy, who apparently has more romantic thoughts in his head than I ever gave him credit for, proposed in the most perfect way! I went to Tulsa for her graduation, and got to enjoy the early stages of "wedding talk."


A few months later, Jenna called and asked me to be in her wedding. I, of course, said yes after crying like a freaking baby. This, although I wasn't aware of it, was a omen of what was to come.

Well, now it's August 2010, and the wedding is here (and yes, I cried like a baby).


Jakob and I thoroughly enjoyed the rehearsal....


the ceremony....

and the weekend away with friends we haven't seen in a while.


Congratulations Jenna and Fredy! We love you both!!

Time for a change


So, as you can see, I've changed the template of the blog. I'm working on trying to be more active in tracking the things going on in our life here, but it's just so busy!!

We'll be doing a lot of driving over the summer, to different events for family and friends. So far, we've thrown a couples shower for our good friends Jenna and Fredy (Jakob didn't make it) and we've gone to my cousin Sarah's wedding.

Over the next coming weeks, we have a bridal shower for Jenna, a birthday party for our nephew, a 4th of July trip to get some time together, and Jenna's bachelorette party.

I can only hope that somewhere in there I can find the time to keep up the trips to the gym...
