Our big day is 11 days away!!

I'm always surprised at how much time has passed in between blogs! LOL


We're 11 days away from our wedding and couldn't be any more excited! We have been extremely busy with planning, appointments, and everything that comes with planning a wedding! We're also extremely grateful and happy to hear that Prop 8 was overturned and ruled unconstitutional right before our wedding. The timing couldn't have been better! We do realize we still can't obtain a marriage license, but there is NO doubt it's a step in the right direction for us and the LGBT community. This will just be an added bonus and "right", if you will, if we can get the license prior to our wedding, but it hasn't stopped us from moving forward (obviously lol) with our lives, wedding or commitment of any kind, in fact it's pushed us even harder! We're really excited about expressing and showing our Faith, Love & Commitment in front of our friends and family in just 11 days! It will be here before we know it!

We have also been SO busy this summer. We've gone Camping, had the BEST BACHELORETTE BASH EVER!!, BBQ'd with Friends & Family, Played in Downtown Sac, Visited Family in Reno, Enjoyed Lake Day with friends especially on the jet ski! It's been SO much fun, countless memories created and we wouldn't trade it for the world! Forever grateful!

Okay, let's talk about this Bachelorette Bash!!!! To say we had a blast would be the understatement of the year!! It was THE TIME OF OUR LIVES!!! Our wedding party team planned it out an executed it perfectly! It started out with a pool party/BBQ at the Kimpel house, there was fun in the pool, bean bag toss, awesome food and the Perfect Pearsmo's!! Those were delish!! We got to hang out and catch up with many wonderful people, thanks to everyone who came out!

Then the Hummer Limo showed up!! Woo Hoo! The team dressed us up in our Bachelorette sashes and tiara's and all us girls got in and continued the drinking, hey don't judge it was a Bachelorette Party! It whisked us away to Streets of London where we found our selves a table and kept drinking! Even Janae, the yougest sister (20) got to go in because the team made the arrangements!! Her first bar and it was for our Bach!! We then headed to Faces and met up with some party crashers!! Thanks guys! We loved you all being there! We danced our little (ha) butts off! More drinking of course! ;) We then headed back to Roseville and met up with most of the husbands in downtown Roseville. Again, more drinking, please don't roll your eyes! Our Limo took us home and the night was over. The next day wasn't so pleasant, DUH! But totally worth it and we can't believe how much fun we had! Thanks again Bachelorette Planning Team, you all ROCK!

Jen would like to take this moment to mention that she got her first pair of JORDAN'S!!! She is super excited and has wanted them for "her whole life!!" She even wore them to bed the first night, not a joke, she really did! Special thanks to my favorite Baller!

Ok, hopefully this will hold you all over for a bit, not sure if we will post again before the Wedding and Honeymoon, but we will try! And a quick Dunc update: He is currently twitching, barking and wagging his tail in his sleep, thanks for wearing him our Mom, Dad and Janae!

Countdown:
