After graduating, Lenna worked with the Main Street Program in Minden which included the restoration of the Minden Opera House. She moved to Lincoln where she was employed at Swanson Russell and Associates. While in Lincoln, Lenna met the love of her life, Dustin William Weber of Friend, and they were united in marriage on September 11, 1999 at the United Methodist Church in Valentine, Nebraska. To this union a daughter, Vivian Kay, was born. Together they made their home in Friend where Dustin farms with his parents.
