A long overdue update..

Life in the Kimpel-Sheldon household has been steady rollin'! Just working away and filling any spare time we have with our wonderful friends and family. Last weekend was Danielle's baby shower and I, Nicole, had a great time planning it with Janae. We had a blast shopping, and it turned out so good! Thanks for all your help Janae!! And Mom too you were right there with us even though you had one the weekend before, we are grateful for your help as well!

Lately we have really been enjoying watching Jon, Jen's little brother, play football for Oakmont High School, he is SOOO good and we are so proud of him!!

On a work note, and this is so exciting, Jen got a promotion! She is now a Senior Analyst!! It actually happened shortly after we got back from our Honeymoon but since we are crappy bloggers we hadn't mentioned it yet! I am so proud of her, she has worked really really hard for this and I am so glad that she is being recognized for it! Congrats Jen!

We've been laying a little low as we start preparing for that "next chapter"... we're both excited for it, we just have our work cut out for us. We have goals for our health as well as financially before we make that next step.


We can hardly believe the Holidays are upon us. We're really looking forward to the family time this time of year brings! Especially since there will be a new little one added to the family this year!! We CAN NOT wait for Sproutette to be born! We can't wait to hear her name, we can't wait to see her precious little face and we can't wait to hold her in our arms! We also can't wait to see Jason and Danielle as parents, they are going to be so amazing!!


Married life is the best. It's so amazing and it still feels a little surreal. We are officially registered Domestic Partners, that was exciting! This allows Nicole to be on my benefits, woohoo! Next up, Nicole's name change! This might be a complicated and fairly expensive process, as the DMV will allow a name change with a Domestic Partnership but it is unclear, and unlikely, that the Social Security Administration will. This will take a few phone calls to find out. Stay tuned!


As for Duncan, he isn't loving this weather so much because it doesn't allow for much play time; but he still gets a little indoor Frisbee toss here and there! ;) He is so cute, every time we come home for lunch he meets us at the door with his Frisbee. We also run him up and down the hallway with the laser, it's the cutest thing you've ever seen. I am sure the downstairs neighbor loves it too! ;)

Sorry for the large delay in updates! We promise to be better!!

♥Jen and Nicole
