Our Little Guy- Porter Joseph Jensen

Both I and Aaron grew up in this area- . We had common friends and acquaintances but never met in high school. After highschool Aaron went to a year of college at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls and then on an LDS mission to San Fernando, California. I went to Ricks College where I graduated with a degree in International Studies with an emphasis in the Middle East (let me tell you what a useful degree that is to me now... lol).
We met through a common friend early in 2000 and were married and sealed in the Idaho Falls temple on July 15th, 2000. It was a short courtship and engagement which I think surprised a lot of people (namely my mother) but we knew we were meant to be together. Shortly after we were married Aaron started working at Yost (with my Dad) as a Salesman two years ago he became Salesmanager. When When Porter was born I was working as a Loan Officer but was lucky enough to get to quit to be a Stay at Home Mom which I absolutely love!! Recently this summer I was hired by an online scrapbook store to design digital kits for them.
Our little Porter is the light of our lives- it took us almost 7 years to get him here and now we can't imagine life without him! He is a sweet little guy with an outgoing and very determined personality. He loves the outdoors, his cat "Ickle" and playing with cousins Kamden and Karson (Chelsea's kids).
Our family loves to camp and tries to go several times each summer. I love to scrapbook, sew, and read. Aaron likes to hunt and is off chasing elk and deer even as I write this. I and Aaron are also on the committee for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. We are lucky to be in the same ward as my parents, Aaron is a counselor in the Elders Quorum and I am over the ward bulletins, newsletters, and website.
We have a family blog (website) with lots of pictures and more about us- you can check it out at http://ajjensen.blogspot.com/
We look forward to getting to know you all better and can't wait to hear from you all!
Love Audra, Aaron & Porter
