I had such a great time getting to know Matt and Mikala. Mikala had such an interesting dress...I had never seen a wedding dress like that, wonderful choice! The wedding was held at 4-H camp south of Gretna, Nebraska and the surrounding were beautiful.&amp;nbsp; The wedding was planned to be an outdoor one (way to take a chance in Nebraska...the weather can be crazy to predict!) however the weather was just too hard to predict so they had a nice candle-lit ceremony to be safe. Here are just a few of my favs or should I say "sneak previews" from their day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/bjensen/12105125591688/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF5178_" style="border-style: none;

Her name is Leia (as from Star Wars).&amp;nbsp; We thought she looked like an ewok...so we knew that we neeeded to give her a name from Star Wars.&amp;nbsp; As you can imagine, &lt;a href="http://www.xanga.com/bjensen/451551610/item.html" target="_new"&gt;Barry&lt;/a&gt;

I love looking at the talents that God gives her.&amp;nbsp; For her, she has an amazing personality,&amp;nbsp; wonderful journalism skills, and the art of making beautiful desserts.&amp;nbsp; It's funny that she can whip something amazing up and when I try to get her to explain to me how she did it...she'll start out by saying: "well, it's easy" or "I just know how to do it".&amp;nbsp; Well, that's frustrating &lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley1.gif" height="15" width="15"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Anyways Erika, I love you and who you are...you will always have my heart and my stomach &lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley1.gif" height="15" width="15"&gt;

It's been remodeled however many of the schoolhouse features have been left intact. There's so much that I would love to share, like the bell tower, the old-wooden floors, the classroom doors with diffused windows, the underground tunnel to the basement, etc...I'm so excited! The move in date will be during the month of March...so please stay tuned &lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley1.gif" height="15" width="15"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xcf.xanga.com/539d712221c34106509848/b75379777.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF2046" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xcf.xanga.com/539d712221c34106509848/m75379777.jpg" width="520"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x47.xanga.com/ed5d402251335106509819/b75379751.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF1927" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x47.xanga.com/ed5d402251335106509819/m75379751.jpg" width="520"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xfc.xanga.com/ac7d402211335106509826/b75379758.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF1943" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xfc.xanga.com/ac7d402211335106509826/m75379758.jpg" width="520"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x60.xanga.com/c00d552251332106509834/b75379766.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   </description><comments>http://bjensen.xanga.com/570199837/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
