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!

Birthday Celebration!!!!

Last night Justin and I headed to Santa Fe with Christopher and Celina for Celina's birthday extravaganza!! We went to eat at this (new to Justin and I) restaurant Gabriel's - very tasty!! Her parents and grandma met us there from Colorado, and we had a blast!!

We then headed over to the new Buffalo Thunder Casino/Resort to check it out (since we were in the neighborhood). While the "fun people" went to play -- us "boring old folks" headed to the upper level to explore and talk! The boring old folks were me, Justin and Celina's mom for those who needed clarification. The architecture and art there was simply amazing and it was a very beautiful resort. It was a southwestern style mixed with contemporary lines and colors -- NICE! After our explorations we then sat upstairs and talked - FOR 2 HOURS!!! We had no idea how long we had been up there, but we talked about politics, social issues, and everything in between. It was sooooo much fun!!! We then rejoined the "fun people" for a brief moment and then headed home. We got home around midnight, which of course made it difficult to get up this morning, but well worth the experience.



Tonight Justin's parents are coming to town and we are excited for that as they haven't come to visit us in some time!! We are going to hang out tonight and tomorrow morn/afternoon before they have to head back home. We have BIG plans this weekend as well and so we are looking forward to the next several days.
