About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

A walk down memory lane...

Let's see.....yesterday was a VERY exciting day. Justin and I had to go to the doctor for our annual physicals. We decided on a new PCP, Dr. Reagan, and he was relatively nice. We were in and out in no time flat. I always get very anxious going to the doctor - what if he tells me I have only a few months to live? What if when he's checking my eyes he sees that I forgot to pluck my eybrows? Or when he sticks that instrument in my ear he sees a build up of all build ups??? What if I have bad breath?? AHHHHHHHHHH!! The insanity that runs through this pretty little head of mine. We had one interesting exchange:

Dr. Reagan: Do you ever think you might want to have children?
Me: Ummm Sure - someday! (inside wondering if this is a dig on my age--is he saying my biological clock is almost out of "ticks").
Dr. Reagan: Well you should start taking follic acid then.
Me: Ok
Dr. Reagan: This prevents a certain type of birf (yes birF) defect. 1 mg a day.
Me: Ok (immaturely laughing to myself over his slight speech issue)
Dr. Reagan: Would you like me to write that down for you so you don't forget?
Me: No, I think I got it. (wondering to myself if this is again a dig on my age -- is he saying I'm showing signs of Alzheimers?).

END OF AWKWARD EXCHANGE

But all in all it was a positive experience, and I think we found ourselves a new PCP!!

Anyhoo..........Mine and Justin's 1 year anniversary is coming up on July 28th. So...in homage of that milestone I will be posting pictures from our wedding/engagement pics to remind all of you of that time!!! (And you thought you were done seeing those pics 9 months after the wedding - HA!).... So here are 2 of my favs -- and 1 funny one.... Enjoy!!!
